Jonno, NO ONE is talking about a Constitutional Convention.

PLEASE try to get this and keep it in mind. Thsi is a convention, run by the States, for the purpose of proposing amendments to our existing Constitution, in accordance with the explicit provisions of Article V.

That’s ALL it si It is NOT a Constitutional Convention. Repeat NOT.

[Thud]

A convention to propose amendments could certainly exceed its powers and propose a whole new Constitution. The latter would still require ratification by 3/4 of the states, and those had better have at least 2/3 of the country's poppulation and wealth to force their choice on the dissenting states.

As a practical matter, though, the chance of that happening lies somewhere between the chance of you turning inside out and exploding, and that of civilization being destroyed by a Carrington Event.

Lots of things are theoretically possible. That something is possible doesn't mean it is worth worrying about.
