I’m not convinced that in the current political climate the amendments that would likely come out of such a convention of states would be amendments I would support. I suspect they would be amendments that would explicitly give the federal government the powers that it has arrogated to itself, making it nearly impossible to undo.

That being said, the court made the right decision.

Actually, it wouldn't disappoint me if the COS met and adjourned without sending recommended amendments to the states. It would put to rest the fear of a "runaway" convention. Now, as long as the convention did not adjourn sine die, it could agree to meet again, say the next year, without thirty-two more state applications.

No, they didn't.

The right decision was to refuse to hear the case, on the grounds that it was a political question outside the scope of any court's authority.
