I don’t trust lawyers and politicians of any party to have a constitutional convention. And as the left lies cheats and steals elections on a regular basis a constitutional convention will be a fun challenge for the Saul Alinsky crowd. And the do nothing republicans will just throw their hands up as they are professional losers.

Look before you leap.

I could not agree with you more, well stated!

A constitutional convention will give the left the opportunity to rewrite the most basic law of our nation exactly the way they want it and the GOP will just play dead for fear of being scolded by the media or losing their privileged status in the beltway.

The Constitution is like any other good law, you cannot rewrite it to get people to obey it, it needs to be enforced just as written.

Article 5 conventions are not Constitutional Conventions they are a conventions of the States to propose ammendments to the existing Constitution that must then be ratified by the states just as any other ammendment.

They cannot rewrite the Constitution only propose ammendments for ratification. Just like Congress has previoiusly done.

It appears you do not support self-government.

Study a subject before you slam it.
