There isn't a worldly power or right that cannot be abused or put to ill purposes.
We don't oppose the 1st Amendment because some individuals libel and slander others.
That a gun can be used for suicide or armed robbery is no reason to shun the 2nd Amendment.
Etc.
In further support of an Article V convention, I can't recall a single time the sovereign people of any nation who met with the intention of correcting errors ever sold themselves into slavery.
Convention promoters are people with good intentions who want to go back to some 19th century Garden of Eden . It is over! Look at the very people who would be entrusted with amending the Constitution at a convention-THE SAME GROUP THAT ELECTED A NEGRO COMMUNITY ORGANIZER FROM CHICAGO as President. A group of people who support Bernie Sanders. A group of people who support Hillary Clinton. Alien invaders pouring into our nation and being registered to vote.
We are way past normal political methods as a means of reform.
