Constitutional Convention

For background on what it is. Keep in mind that 34 states need to call for one and 32 have. Only 2 to go.

What are your thoughts and are you for or against it?

Horrid idea! If we need to amend the Constitution it better be for a damn good reason and we can do it one amendment at a time. No need to convene in an attempt to change the Constitution entirely.

They could get there decide to scrap the entire thing and start over from scratch.

Our judges, elected representatives, and bureaucrats won't pay any attention to a new constitution, either. Everyone knows they will go on doing whatever the hell they find convenient anyway.

I don't like the idea. I don't like either extreme of the political spectrum and a "compromise" isn't really possible. So, what would we get out of a CC that's better than what we've got? My guess is nothing.

I really don't think anyone we have today could come up with something better than was set up by the founding fathers.

It's a recipe for disaster.

A con-con will be the opening salvo of a shooting civil war.

Not even the people that are supposed to uphold and protect our Constitution think the document is any longer relevant.

and like I said before, they won't think a new document will be relevant, either.

The disease is in the heads of "progressive" managers who feel the relevant power is their own.
