I know Mark Levin supports this, but I don’t see any way that George Soros doesn’t hijack it.

Any amendments approved by a convention would still need to be approved by 34 state legislatures.
Just as in the original “runaway convention,” the Constitution had be approved by 9 out of 13 states before it became effective.
The convention is not a legislative body. All it can do is send amendments to the states for consideration.
Exactly. If we can't get elected representatives to make the changes. I don't see how a constitutional convention will help. We're likely to end up with something worse.
But here's a write up that argues that the convention would be limited in scope and any proposed amendments coming out of the convention must be ratified by 38 states. I don't know by law if this is correct. I also don't know if the 16 states that called for the convention did include the 3 topic limit mentioned.
Convention of States Last Chance to save the republic
I can see some amendments such as limiting Congress from holding foreign stocks and equities of any kind.
I'm not a fan of term limits. I think experienced senators and congressmen are an asset. As long as they work in our best interest and not theirs. That's the problem. Character matters whether it's 1 term or 10.
It needs to be tested, all the way, so that next time, we are a bit smarter about the whole process!!
There will be no more 2A or Electoral College and a hate speech restriction on 1A.
Yes...I can see the Left hijacking it and completely rewriting the Constitution in its entirety.
If there was to be this massive GOP takeover in November of a supermajority of state legislatures, perhaps talk about it more seriously then.
Yeah, a man with 8.6 billion dollars, and morals being what they are nowadays, sure could mess up a lot of stuff.. As we have seen of late. :(
