Yes, but you know as well as I do that some of the delegates would propose, and maybe even pass, Amendments institutionalizing some of the rampant socialism that we are currently experiencing.

If you want a Con Con, make it a clean one. Have an amendment firing all members of the current Congress, as well as repealing the 16th and 17th Amendments and abolishing the Fed.

This is not a Constitutional Convention. Read up on the link in the story and Article V of the Constitution. It is a way of bypassing Washington altogether.

Politicaly we could not acomplish such a thing in the current political landscape.

Of course its worth noting Constitutional or not, theses socialist programs will contenue untill they collapce.

The only thing adding them to the constitution will do will make it all that more difficult to get rid of them when their financially dead weight upon everyone.

The way to get rid of Social Security like most socialist schemes is to privatize then volenteerize them. We can’t do that if the left are successful in enshrining the failure in the constitution.

It would become like the post office, political dead weight constantly revived at great expense to the tax payer.
