pnac... When you read Article V you would realize what a challenge it would be to get "...the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States..." (34 states) to agree to a Con-con? And then "... when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof..." (38 states) to actually agree on a constitutional amendment? When is the last time 34 states agreed on anything? Let alone 38 to ratify?
I think 32 states have voted for a Con-Con, it was sold as a "Balanced Budget"
Amendment. Ohio almost voted for it last year, or would have if someone had not caught it. Much mischief afoot.
