In before the ignorant con-con morons.
Yep, they’ll be here... in 3.... 2.... 1....
An interesting way of categorizing your fellow citizens who have yours and the countries best interests at heart, and are expressing their thoughts on the subject. I’m quite sure there are an equal number who just might prefer to exercise the Article V as enumerated in the Constitution.
There are a number of issues that might be pretty important, such as the potential view by Democrats that this would be another Republican railroad without their consent as in our view of Obama Care since no Republican voted in favor.
What particular amendment might be the subject of said request for Article V. An issue related to how many have been previously filed but never the required 34 states with the same subject which is why one has not been called. At present there are 24 states for a balanced budget amendment, which has the most requests at this time.
Conditions are better now than they have been in the past for calling for Article V because of the red state over blue state gains in the last election. There are now 30 states with complete Republican Legislatures and seven states with split legislatures. Meaning the overwhelming numbers of Republican’s could turn the tide where in the past one required active participation of blue states to make the magic 34 states to call the convention.
There are very very few democrats who have any interest at all in an article V convention. They would prefer a reversal of the Supreme Court decision in the matter of Citizens United before a convention and the fundamental differences between the two parties just add to the separation.

Democrat attendance at the previous two meetings of the Assembly was less than five percent. That does not mean it can’t improve, but Republican’s in general are most interesting in restoring Constitutional Governance NOT Democrats. One of those unfortunate fundamental differences in the two parties.
