Your explanation about precedents notwithstanding, there is no language in the controlling document with regard to conduct after the applications of 34 petitioners have been met.

I accept the 21st amendment reply but it is curious that it was solely to repeal the 18th amendment.

You can rely on your perceived ‘numbers’ but I know better. We’ve had ‘numbers’ controlling the Senate and House for more than enough time to have had substantive action of the good kind - we have not. We had the triumvirate under Bush; what did we get? We got DHS and TSA for one. We got a stronger Patriot act and resulting ubiquitous NSA spying on the other.

No one here or elsewhere can say with absolute certainty the delegates to such a convention would not be targeted relentlessly by the forces that work day in day out to derail all forms of decency in this country.

But you can rely on Republican Governors and State Legislatures with complete certainty. I can’t. I can’t from Governors like former Governor Jeb Bush, Kasich, Christie and more than a handful from the other states, and that doesn’t even consider the Democrat states involved.
