Trying to read this author is like trying to listen to Michael Savage; you know there’s some interesting information there, but the presentation is so annoying you just want to slap the twit spouting off.

People who know what they are talking about don’t need to use hyperbole, insult, and drama-queen language.

And regardless of what this hyperventilating author says, we are well advised to be wary of a convention; it might be the saving or our republic, it might get hijacked to become the death of it. We *could* conceivably get rid of the 16th and 17th, rewrite the 2nd to be utterly unambigious as to constitutional carry and being able to own and carry nearly everything, and slap a line-item and balanced budget amendment in there, but then you still have to get 3/4 of the states to ratify it, good luck with that.

OK. 10 points marked off for style.

Content?

Actually, there is nothing in the designated process for an article V convention about how it “could be” hijacked to rewrite the entire document.... any more than Congress just showing up one morning and doing so themselves, getting a simple majority vote and then saying to the Senate and the states “we don’t need another vote from you guys, nor even a 2/3 majority here. This is the new law.” That is just about as likely a scenario as the one you are proposing.

I will tell Michael you said “hi” if I see him.
