“It’s not the same Constitution that the 13 colonies made. The Republican-Democrat war amendments centralized power in Washington to outlaw slavery and discrimination. The Income tax has made slaves out of everybody and the direct voting of Senators has made even the existence of the Senate itself pointless. Repealing those alone would be worth the price of admission.”

You are correct of course but IMO this thread is pointless as the OPs concern has been addressed so many times over posting it again appears more like trolling than an attempt at serious discussion.

Not trolling. Look how long I have been a member.
I have undoubtedly missed previous postings on the subject. In fact, I thought I was all-in on the original premise .... not afraid of a “runaway convention”.
However as each state legislature approves a COS, the “magic bullet” concept seems to be in doubt (as a previous poster replied).
If precisionshootist doesn’t want to have a serious discussion, that’s not my problem. I would actually like to have the case made that it can accomplish what is intended. If it turns stupid I can ask the mod to lock the thread.
Or we can just not post to it, if there is nothing to add.
