I have heard Levin push this idea on his show. I don’t think that there is a group alive today that could come anywhere close to our founders in intellectual terms. So, I think this is a very dangerous idea. Of course, I could think of somethings that could be improved and some of the amendments changed or repealed, but I am very skeptical that any changes that would result from a current day Constitutional Convention would actually increase our liberty or advance our unity as a nation. I think a much better idea would be to demand that the Constitution is followed, not altered.

A lot of states will be sending moderates and leftists who would make up a majority coalition

The idea is to return to the federal system of our framers.

To demand the constitution be followed without a structure to enforce it, is a pipe dream. Our framing generation wrote of this and created a senate of the states to ensure power was vertically divided and most importantly, to secure our rights.
