I refuse to sign the COS petition and refer you to Publish Huldah.

No need to refer me to huldah... I’ve already read a ton of it (did so over a year ago... is anything new?), and weighing against COS, reject what I carefully read. COS aligns with all my other readings on the founders, and the framers.

“Second . . . Congress has traditionally laid claim to broad responsibilities in connection with a convention, including . . . (4) determining the number and selection process for its delegates; (5) setting internal convention procedures, including formulae for allocation of votes among the states; . . .”

I read this at your Publius Huldah link, and it is just bunk. Article V does not give Congress such powers; rather it secures them to the States, who direct their own delegations; select their own delegates; and, meeting in a called Convention, determine all procedural and voting rules, by a simple majority vote, one vote per State delegation.

Indeed, a good deal of spadework has already been done WRT specifying Article V COS rules. See here. We have the American Legislative Executive Council and Professor Robert Natelson to thank for this.

Who is this "Huldah" person??? Does he/she/it perchance work for George Soros?
