How about a Constitutional Convention?

VERY bad idea.

A Constitutional Convention opens a Pandora's Box you do NOT want to be anywhere near.

Such a gathering could (and chances are WOULD) set the stage for a wholesale vacating of our founding document.

That is already well under way.

The idea of a Constitutional Convention USED to be a very bad idea, in the days when the Constitution was largely respected.

With the ongoing, bipartisan ignoring of our founding, cornerstone Document, I’d say a Constitutional Convention is NOW a toss-up as to whether its a bad idea or not.

Instead of the slow dismantling of the Constitution that is taking place now?

It could be argued that Chief Judicial Legislator Roberts drove the final stake in the heart of the Constitution.
