“unprecedented”

as opposed to having a majority of liberal activist supreme court judges repeatedly ‘amend’ our constitution by reinterpreting and misapplying law

Never get 38 states to ratify even if they get 34 to agree to call for a convention.

I got the strange sensation when reading this article: I could almost smell the AP’s fear...

But can enact those structural changes only if 34 states ratify them. How likely is that?

A COS can also decide to do ANYTHING else it wants - all with zero oversight or limits by ANY agency, legislative edict, or even courts - up to an including throwing out the US Constitution and substituting a brand new document in its place (much like happened with the First such calling of a Convention that transitioned the US from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution.

It is quite literally impossible to put any sort of restraint or limits to a COS -

As much as I would absolutely LOVE having term limits for Congress (and a few other protections) enshrined in the Constitution - the danger is a very real problem that many seem to either be ignorant of - or just don’t care.

Under a COS - you can bet the farm that the 2nd Amendment will be one of the first things assaulted (assuming the COS delegates - led by the vast number of delegates of the most liberal states don’t just trash the whole Constitution to begin with).

Huge mistake. Look at all the infiltrators in DC. A convention will be filled with infiltrators who will pull their usual tricks. Remember how they let true conservatives lose, including throwing the HOR Republican majority, rather than implement the Deplorable Agenda. If they get it through a Constitutional Convention, and then manipulate results in enough states, the damage can never be undone.
