Seventy percent of self-identified “liberals” want to rewrite the U.S. Constitution “to a new American constitution that better reflects our diversity as a people,” according to survey results published in Quillette this week. Seventy-nine percent of self-identified “very liberal” respondents agreed with this suggestion.

Article V ping, but in a negative way. The Left is organizing.

Remember when folks here called any idea of holding a Convention a crazy thought....because the left would subvert/overtake said Convention?

Well, are we going to overrule thier absurd demands?

This is why I’ve been skeptical of any so-called conventions.

The Left is much better at government.

"Rewriting the Constitution" got nothing to do with Art V.

Art V is all about the current Constitution. It's all about amendments to that Constitution. Advantage Conservatives here. Various reasons, chief among them is one-state one-vote.

The left nutjobs in the article are talking about a Constitutional Convention - NOT an Amendments Convention (Art V).

The JBS and the like talk about how dangerous a so-called "con-con" would be. They are exactly correct, and the left would take full advantage of a con-con, or Constitutional Convention.

Luckily for those of us determined to *LIMIT* the current federal leviathan, an Art V or Amendments convention would be limited to proposing (not passing or ratifying) amendments to limit the current run-away Congress, and their misuse of our Framed Constitution. A "rewrite" is completely out of scope, and verbotten.

The best thing to hapen to America would be an art.V convention. The left is more fractured and divided than at any other time in my 65 years.
