The convention of states is a lunatic proposition. We have enough problems with unconstitutional politicians without sending a bunch of delegates from Illinois, California, Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, Vermont, Oregon, Washington to finger, lick and play with our constitution. I cannot believe that people are so stupid as to think delegates can be bound by mere words.
Let them lick and play, they need a 38 state buy-in for it to stick.
The main problem is probably practical. It would be another self priding Kabuki theater, just as our modern Congress and state houses are today. It would overlook the real fundamentals of the human condition.
Indeed. The Constitutional Convention itself was a coup that went far beyond the scope authorized by the Congress.
One state, one vote.
"finger, lick and play with our constitution"
You are under the misconception that the Convention could change the Constitution. It would have no such power, any more than Congress has - it may only propose.
Not mere words. The state’s have to ratify any proposed amendment. There is the ultimate check and balance. Your argument is specious and beyond that dangerous. If the state’s are not empowered to overrule the federal government soon AND recover their voice in DC, the Republic is likely finished and with that the world will be plunged into war. Compared to what is happening right now, the invasion of islamists, the marxist courts, the lawlessness of all branches of government especially the unelected agencies, the islamist fifth column at the highest levels of government that facilitates the invasion and prevents America from defending herself, there is no risk at all to a convention of states. Get over your fear. Fight for Article V or the nation is likely finished.
