Just what’s in it for the left? btw What is cos?
In before the ping!
(thanks for posting this)
Maximum bad idea. Those who don’t think so are welcome to believe that human nature will somehow magically disappear in some awesome flurry of magical self-delusion.
The liberals/progressives who despise the Framers will own the thing, Most republicans and conservatives will be too busy working to attend, and instead rely on talking heads to tell them what is going on. By the time the bad news gets out, it will already be too late, and many will have already mysteriously vanished.
It’s a trap.
The cos is called to address specific issues. Only those issues are to be voted on. It is a safer convention than most people think.
Time to use Article V.
A government that does not follow the existing Constitution will not follow an amended Constitution...neither in the amendment/ratification process nor in the interpretation and enforcement of those amendments.
This is all just a way to pretend to be doing something.
Fussing about the process instead of doing the hard work generating consensus around exactly what ammendments we need and the best way to get them ratified.
Absolutely backwards sequence.
Keep the 17th but modify it that states that Senators must win a majority of counties to be the winner
No.
Cos I’m in. Go for it. Nothing to lose.
