Every crook in the government will be there, and there will be plenty of them. This won’t turn out like we think it will.

The people there will be chosen by the State Legislatures.

They will be restricted by law as to the amendments that they can vote on and how they must vote.

That doesn’t leave much room for the delegates to be crooked.

Unlike the Convention of 1787 instantaneous communication is easily available so there is no need for the delegates to make decisions on their own.

Most likely the convention would be broadcast by CSPAN so all of the country’s patriots can keep an eye on the proceedings.

I would think that any shenanigans would be kept to a minimum.

Now while most of the State’s legislatures are in Republican hands is the time to strike.

You are so naive. As a former COS supporter, I cannot support this now. Just because there’s limitations, Robert’s Rules of Order gives savvy operators wiggle room to advance agendas regardless of what the established rules are going in.

Because the delegates are chosen by the state legislatures, I’m even more convinced that at this time in the history of the United States opening a COS is like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded revolver.
