OK, so if a state legislature only authorizes its delegates to participate in one amendment for a balanced budget, but the convention agrees to election reform and term limits. Then political pressure results in its subsequent approval by the legislature. Do you think SCOTUS would refuse to recognize the amendment on a technicality, or would that be a "political question" that the legislature cured?
