All delegates to the Con Con will not be conservaatives. This is a bad idea to the 10th power.

Not necessarily. If the GOP can get enough governors on board, it could be done making sure that the majority of delegates would be ‘on our side’, as it were.........

The delegates would be representatives of their states, which is appropriate. The convention would still vote on what amendments they would send to the states, and three-fourths of the state legislatures would still need to ratify them.

Remember that the equal rights amendment never got through, even in the liberal 70’s and even after extending the ratification time.

Yep. Think of the consequences to the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 10th to name a few if the Dems got their way.

If you think elections are fraudulent imagine the effort to stack the convention with libs and RINOS. This would be a major catastrophe in this current climate.

I have a better idea, our current elected officials actually adhering to the letter of the Constitution as is is written.

Agreed. A con-con is a nuclear device of unimaginable destructive power. It is not a panacea that will right all wrongs or fix everything. Once you open up a con-con, you could find yourself in a far worse position than what you started with. First off, the governor of the state will appoint the delegates in accordance with the numbers of electoral college votes he's alloted. Think of the huge electoral college states: California, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Texas. Not many of those can be considered bastions of conservatism. Once a con-con has been opened there are no restraints on what can be changed in the document. There is no such thing as a limited con-con. You could alter or junk the entire document. How many potential delegates would you put on a par with the Founding Fathers? That group was assembled by God Almighty for the sole purpose of advancing HIS future agenda (among other things, the eventual creation of the State of Israel and the subsequent lighting the fuse to the End of Days) and we shall not see men or women of their quality and patriotism ever again.
