The fear of a “runaway convention” is just that, fear only. Three fourths of the states still have to ratify any amendments.
Seems to me I kept hearing this nonsense all the way through 2009, right up until Obamacare was signed. Then it was like, oh, well, maybe Obamacare CAN pass. The left wages political war far better than the right. The left also effectively uses emotion to sway hearts and minds, far better than we on the right do. I keep hearing that, because the amendments would require 3/4's for ratification, it would be nearly impossible for the left to get any of their proposals passed. I think anyone who truly believes that, with all due respects, if kinda fruit loops.
“Jones said he has heard the arguments against the plan and sees the states being able to block amendments during the ratification process. Jones noted that since state legislatures would appoint delegates to a convention, they could exercise control over their actions. If a representative goes off the deep end, the state can pull them,” Jones said. There are so many safeguards in place that there can’t be a runaway convention.”
Meanwhile, we are told by the Uniparty to just keep voting. No thanks.
