I'm getting increasing numbers of e-mails from folks I consider sensible promoting the call for a Constitutional Convention. Obviously these well-meaning individuals don't understand what it means. There is nothing in the Constitution that controls what a new Convention could do to our Founding Document. There are absolutely NO RESTRICTIONS on what the delegates can propose and the amendments they can approve.
Does anyone really think that our current flock of politicians on both sides of the aisle, not to mention our pernicious president with his billionaire buddies like George Soros, can do a better job at rewriting our founding documents than men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Mason, and the other giants of history? Consider a new Constitution that incorporates the long-dead Equal Rights Amendment or a gay rights amendment or a gun (and smoking) ban. No, a Constitutional Convention is a REALLY BAD IDEA. There is no controlling what it can do!
Pass this on and don't jump on the bandwagon when you don't know the tune they're playing. You may find yourself in the middle of a hard rock drug fest with the descendants of Woodstock.
