[Alas Babylon!]

Don’t be coy. You’re not confused. You know what I meant.

Article V lets the entire Constitution be rewritten.

They could even leave a fifth article out of a rewritten constitution completely.

I’d rather not fix what is not broken.

Article V lets the entire Constitution be rewritten.

This is simply false. No matter how many times you state it, it will still be false.

Again, delegates are NOT entrusted nor commissioned to just show up and vote on "something." They are empowered to present to the convention the specific amendments proposed by the state legislatures. The state legislatures DO NOT just hand them a commission to "hey guys, just vote on something you think we will like."

Even if they DID try something like that, 3/4 of the states would have to approve it. I think your fears have outstripped your researching prowess here.

Again, have you ever read anything at all by Michael Farris? He does a great job of dissecting and refuting this kind of paranoia. He is a sparkplug for this, and is one of the most solid constitutional lawyers out there today.
