We don’t need a new constitutional convention. That would be extremely dangerous.
There are no men of our time who would act with the prudence, care, and foresight of our founding fathers.
A free republic would not remain.
You’re misunderstanding. This is NOT a Constitutional Convention.

Exactly... whomever would be calling for a Constitutional Convention at this time is basically asking to completely undo the Constitution and remake it in the Democrat's image of what they think it should be...
You can imagine where that will go.
“There are no men of our time who would act with the prudence, care, and foresight of our founding fathers.”
Agreed. Or at least none with any visibility.
What if we had the numbers to strip down the constitution and go back to the original? After 2010, I think it really could be done. With suitable modifications guaranteeing universal suffrage, there would still be opportunities to limit the federal government’s scope with airtight language (no “general welfare” clause, a much more limited “interstate commerce” clause) and perhaps add permanent limits on federal taxation and spending.
