Open up the entire Constitution to be completely rewritten by the jackasses of the voting public and the dimwits that hold elective office today in this country? No thank you!
That would see the end of the first, second and any other
amendments that didn’t fit the marxist plan for utopia.
I want a free country and there are to many who only want
a free ride and free stuff. The truth is not welcome nor
is it a defense against what the present government has in
the works for it’s subjects. We are citizens only for a
short while as the ballot box gets tipped to those hands
reaching into our pockets.
Well, wake up, smell the coffee....it's happening through liberal judges daily - and an over reaching Congress, President and Federal Reserve. The constitution is suffering a death by a thousand nicks each day. God help us when the libs get their solid 5th vote on the USSC.
A Constitutional Convention need not open up the whole constitution - and even if it went overboard, it would still have to be approved by the states. A Constitutional Convention, whose proponents could articulate relatively narrow goals (spending, prevention of a legislating judiciary), could be kept within reasonable bounds.
Further, there are inherent checks on such a convention. In order to get 2/3 of the states to agree to such a convention, the goal would have to be narrowly defined and adhered to as well - since 3/4 of the states must approve before it goes into effect. So your fears are overblown, since the checks and balances on opening and approving such a convention would tend to make any changes conservative (small "c") in nature in relation to the constitution as currently written.
Given the alternative of a slowly mutating constitution, re-interpreted by each new generation of legislating liberal judges, etc; I opt to take my chances on a Constitutional Convention that could add some additional checks and balances to protect us from these sorts of abuses.
