I suppose it would have to be the 38 states required to bring this boondogle forward in the first place...

It only takes 34 states (2/3) to require the convention, but requires 38 states (3/4) to ratify any amendments. So you believe states like Texas would vote to ratify an amendment that would restrict 1st and 2nd amendment rights?

There's nothing that says there will be states not allowed AND they will all have the right to offer amendments once the Article V convention is approved.

Maybe. The states can either agree to specific topics in advance, or it can be open to any amendment. But they would still need to get a vote of 2/3 of the delegates for any proposal to even send it to the states for ratification.

You do know that each state will only get one vote at the convention, and that there are far more states with Republican legislatures than ones with Democrat legislatures, right? So under that scenario, how do you see the Democrats dominating the convention like that?

You put a lot of faith in Republicans. However, you're the only one that said anything about Democrats...Frankly I can't tell the difference.

I guess you think if a COS is called it's gonna be a done deal, YOU WIN!, before it even begins...
