The states are coordinating restrictive language. Only amendments that limit federal power can be discussed. The legislatures can immediately recall rogue delegates. One state, one vote.

So what if 16 states decide they don't want to be censored or limited to th eamendments you want and decide not to play. No convention.

Hopefully some “blue states” may not like being bullied by DC either. Especially if more money flows out of the state to DC than comes back in. In any case, the Founders included Article V and it is amazing that they did so. The time is now to use it. To the hand wringing naysayers that continue to insist there is no use in trying because it will not work anyway, or that it might turn into a “runaway convention or Con Con-please either get educated or refrain from making comments that do not apply.

You are correct. So that is the worst case scenario. Is that a reason not to try?

2/3 to request; 3/4 to ratify ANY amendment—

QUOTE from COS:

Ratification of any proposed amendment requires the approval of 38 states. It only takes 13 states to vote “no” to defeat any proposed amendment, and the chances of 38 state legislatures approving a rogue amendment are effectively zero.
