And the biggest reason to fear a Convention of States is because there is not one politician today who is worthy to lick the sweat of ANY Founding Father’s brow.

Today, with very few exceptions, politicians are obsessed with power and keeping it. ALL have higher expectations. There is ZERO concern for the will of the people. The people are only good for two things: donations and votes.

The fact that 38 states must ratify the amendments before they become law is of little comfort. The states will ratify whatever the people they sent to Convention come up with.

The states will send delegates with specific, limited commissions.

Among all peoples who love liberty, anything ratified by 3/4 of their legislatures or conventions ought to be in the constitution. It is called free government, and not a guarantee that mistakes will not be made like the 16th, 17th, and 18th Amendments.
