The Convention Rules will be written by John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

And.

The Supreme Cabal will validate that. “Article V gives wide latitude to Congress to determine the calling of a convention.” That will be the Cabal money quote.

You want a convention to change the status quo but the status quo holds all the cards in calling a convention. As a result, if there ever is an Article V convention called, it’ll only be because the fix is in.

Additional concerns about an Article V Convention:
1. Congress calls the Convention, not the states. So, even if 34 states call for an Article V Convention, Congress is under no compulsion to accede.
2. Rereading Article V, it APPEARS that amendments are approved by the delegates, not brought back to the state legislatures. Probably a better mechanism.

I would add one rule. No delegate (commissioner) may be a state employee nor hold any elected or appointed office.

Interesting hallucination you seem to be having there. Do you hear voices too?
