Let's assume that a repeal of the 17th amendment is passed, and a state chooses to replace their sitting Senator with someone else.

Are you suggesting that the current Senator would somehow ignore that and insist on staying on in the Senate?

What if term-limits amendments pass? Would a Representative or Senator refuse to vacate once the term limit is passed?

Is that what you mean when you ask about ignoring more amendments?

Understood. But they do pretty much exactly what they want, ignoring the Constitution you want to amend. My concern is more about the First and Second Amendments that they’re already ignoring.

I’ve also seen analyses that indicate once a convention is called, what’s to keep the states from sending delegates who want to do more than just consider new amendments? What’s to keep them from voting on whether to repeal the First Amendment and/or the Second Amendment? Nothing.

The bottom line is things are already bad enough, and given the demographics of our nation nowadays, I have zero faith that the convention will be comprised of just patriots. A runaway convention would be an unmitigated disaster. The Left’s wet dream.

I mean, there’s a reason that scumbag Soros thinks this is a great idea.
