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.

It is an old slang term for “Constitutional Convention” my apologies for not clarifying its use.

You make an excellent point, but power corrupts everyone.

My ability to trust gov’t or its minions is non-existent.

This would include people appointed for a COS (as you put it).

Maybe I am just a perpetual worry-wort as my mother used to say.
