It is appalling how people come up with ideas that are not only dangerous and incorrect, but do not understand the actual constitution. The notion of a SNAP constitutional convention would allow mob and majority rule every four years. Thank God our framers new better

For the record, an Article V convention carries an extremely high bar. It can originate in the states with a supermajority the state legislature demanding that the federal congress schedule the convention OR 2/3 of both house chambers with approval of 3/5 of the states would yield to a convention

Once the convention is opened, it has the full force of possibly causing a runaway convention where it is as equally likely that we would under of with abortion on demand the destruction of republic for national votes etc.

This is not only a terrible idea, but an uneducated on at best.
