        It's a big mistake.When libs get involved they'll ruin it for the real Republic. You didn't think about the things that can go wrong.

        This is the process The Framers of the Constitution provided us. Do you consider the Constitution dumb as well?

        Never been done and can spin out of control. Still need 3/5 if states to ratify and that will never happen. Wasted time.

        We have the Bill of Rights due to the threat of a Convention of States.

        Congress can set any rules it wants for convention. Imagine the rules Nancy Pelosi would set. GOP won't control forever.

        Why would The Framers adopt a process to restrain Congress then, grant them oversight of the process?

        Good question. In fact the word "petition" means 'request' so there's a question as to whether congress would even have to call it.

        That is not what Article V says. It clearly says, "on the application of..2/3rds of the several states,(Congress) shall call a convention
