Those who are impatient to rip the document to shreds always favor a Constitutional Convention to the more traditional amendment process provided by our Founders.

I remember the "con-con" effort in 1995, spearheaded by (then) Gov. Mike Levitt (sp?). Fortunately, there were enough awake Americans to rattle their statehouses to stop the nonsense.

Remain forever vigilant.

Absolutely! It is amazing to me how a document prepared over 200 years ago can still be so functional today, socialist protestations aside. I cannot even begin to imagine the utter chaos of a constitutional convention, what with every politically correct interest group out there trying to get their agenda recognized in a new constitution. This would be our worst nightmare!
