[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Coburn and other Republicans are latching on to this movement to destroy it.

I wouldn't know about the other guys, particularly Kasich, who might be a "budget hawk" but is also part of the Republican exstablishment, but I don't think so in Coburn's case. His history and his recent retirement from the Senate and his personal situation seem inclined against that...

Just my $.02.

It or we are already doomed. In a convention of states, the actual new amendment Is what they’re supposed to be voting on. The way it’s sounding now is they are going to make this a constitutional convention.

I don't see anything right with the people who will decide how this convention proceeds.

From the Constitution, this is all it says, and notice that the CURRENT CONGRESS at the time of the convention controls the process throughout:

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.
