They’ve been talking about this forever, it’s not gonna happen.
CoS is unnecessary. Just nullify bad law.
Simple.
I posted this because I heard an interview with the guys running this campaign. They said they were gaining traction.
I spoke with a couple of strong advocates of this last summer. They could not satisfactorily answer this question?
You can’t control your state legislators.
You can’t control your Congressmen.
You can’t control your Senators.
You can’t control your governor.
So how are you mysteriously going to control the delegates to this convention? If none of us ordinary people can become presidential delegates to the conventions, or if we can’t shape the primaries so the right people win, how are you going to control who gets to this convention?
My friends argued that it was in the “structure” of how everyone is chosen, etc. But it was in the “structure” of the Articles of Confederation that it required a unanimous vote to change them-—yet the Founders changed them anyway IN SECRET, first thing!
I know people are deeply committed to this idea, but if this were to happen today, I guaran-damn-tee you that among the delegates would be people like John Kasich, Minion Romney, and every single party “fixer” and insider you’ve ever seen.
“Well, we just wouldn’t ratify it.” You might not have a choice. THEY would set the rules, not you.
It would do everyone well to remember Benjamin Franklin’s warning about the Constitutional Convention: “For God’s sake, be careful who are those men!” We lucked out once. It won’t happen a second time.
