You have more faith in your elected officials than I have in mine, I suppose.

I merely suggest that calling a con-con is an extremely dangerous thing to do and something that will have unforeseen consequences (which are usually bad).

These are dangerous times.

Have a good day! FRiend.

Why refer to a Convention-to-Propose-Amendments-For-Ratification-in-the-Usual-Manner as a "con-con"? My idea of a so-called "con-con" is where the Constitution is ripped up and replaced whole cloth. The COS Convention of States is nothing like that. What we have going on for the past 100 years AND right now IS ESSENTIALLY a "con-con" to use your term. All the more reason for using a tool the Founders provided for the purpose they feared, and which has transgressed - a run-away Feral (ie, National) government. It sorely needs additional limits to be put in place, and "The People" is the only body with standing to do so, via a COS.

For the record, I'm from MA, and have zero faith in my elected officials. Nevertheless, I have great faith in the states as a whole sitting at a COS, especially given that a solid majority of them are of a better persuasion than mine.
