“NEVER to a Convention of States!”
Agree. As I understand it, should we ever go to a Convention of States, all of the constitution would be open to debate and up for referendum or even elimination. I’m guessing the 2nd amendment would be the first victim and would be eliminated. And, the 1st amendment would be next, perhaps eliminated or severely limited by adding clauses addressing hate speech, gender specific, bunch of other garbage.
We have plenty of evidence that "our" leaders will cave. Look at the Gov of FL (and other states) who abandoned their base and their campaign promises after some staged whining by the haters. Look at Nikki Haley (and others) who dismantled huge portions of Southern history because they thought it would win them friends. Etc ad nauseum.
I’m sorry, but you understand it wrong, probably because it’s been explained wrong. There have been over 400 applications for a Convention of States since our nation’s founding, indeed, two for the Bill of Rights. What you are probably referring to is a “general” CoS which would be the wrong thing to do, and could never pass 34 states. Heck, we’re having a tough enough time passing applications that deal with the true issue at hand, the outrageously overlarge and too powerful federal government.
