<>think it’s far more likely that well-organized and well-funded leftists would use the opportunity to simply destroy the Bill of Rights.<>

Do your equate delegates to a Convention of States with members of Congress? If so, that is an error. The states will send delegates with commissions that frame their authority.

That should not inspire confidence after the role that GOP controlled states played in the stolen election of 2020.

Those delegates will be subject to the same lobbying and pressure that members of Congress are subject to now. And I don't trust even Republican legislatures to appoint sufficiently conservative delegates. The First and Second Amendments are already under siege by both the Left and RINOs in state legislatures. What would prevent an unrestricted convention from making wholesale changes to both?

An unrestricted constitutional convention with no limits on its scope opens a Pandora's box, with no assurance that we will be happy with the results. We could end up with something even worse than we have now - given the amount of money the Left now has, the support it has from BigTech and the MSM, and the proven effectiveness of these groups in corrupting the 2020 election, conservatives should be very wary of giving such an opportunity to the Left.
