The only thing an Article V assembly is likely to bring is a cast of those desiring to eliminate the Constitution as the supreme law of the land.
...and let’s call an Article V assembly by it’s real name, A Constitutional Convention. I’ll ask for a list of names you have at your disposal that you would trust implicitly to preserve that particular founding document in a Constitutional Convention. There is precisely no one on any list in my possession except “the Lamb of God”.
My fear exactly.
I trust people first to do only one thing, what gives them the most advantage. Sometime after that they may do something right for the greater good without conflict of interest.
An Article V is nothing more than convening the devil’s workshop. I don’t trust anybody with that power. I don’t trust them with the power they have now.
38 states need to ratify. 13 states can stop any amendment.
That nails the coffin of your argument.
Given your lack of faith in the Constitution, how would you stop the cheating in elections? Or do you not care?
How?
Where does it say that?
Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
It’s just an alternative to having Congress propose amendments. Procedure for ratification is still the same.
You don't know what you're talking about.
