>>A Constitutional Convention is playing with fire.<<
My understanding is a convention would be called to address a particular issue(s), not a open free for all.
Example: A convention agenda such as Balanced budget amendment and or abolition of the 14th amendment.
It would not be an open agenda. Anyone else have this understanding or am I in error.
That is the heated debate right now in this 138 comment thread. Some argue that the convention would only be for the specific purposes stated in each state's Article V petition, while others look to the wording of Article V and find no such limitation stipulated.
Since it's never happened before, nobody knows for sure.
You have it right.
