No statesmen today. Depending who is in it, the convention could turn into a runway convention. It might even get a real civil war started. Or the federal gov't seeing that it is about to lose it's power might crush it. No telling what might happen.
I would trust not "1" politician, lawyer, or any other fool to rewrite my beloved Constitution. We would be screwed when it was over, I can guarantee it. Any dumb ass that wants one is just "that".
Our enemies on the left are so much more adept at gaming these sorts of things (think elections) that a Con-Con would be like ripe shite to blow flies. Reference the continual playing/ineptitude/connivance of the repubs for the last ______ years at the hands of the democommunist party.
The actual revision of the constitution isn't as stated in the article. It is actually a process whereby the states and people get to tell the federal government what they can and can't do, anymore.
It is outlined in the book "Liberty Amendments" by Mark Levin who is a stand up patriot.
TPTB is scared shitless that this will actually happen and will do and say anything to derail it.
I'm not surprised that Bloomberg would stir the pot.
Yeah! We need another one! You know, like the one that (didn't) give us the 16th Amendment, yeah! Like that one!
Or not! We can't trust any of these crooked bastard thieves to do anything for the people. I wouldn't trust these SOBs with a constitutional convention. They'll blow away the 2A illegally and say its all good. Then, we'll have another layer of lies to fight.
...oh, and BTW, why would they want to rewrite it anyway? They won't follow this one. Do those dishonest bastard thieves need another document to not follow?
Yep, I was taught in school many years ago that a Constitutional Convention is basically a "do over" with a blank slate. Want to eliminate free speech, sure, no problem. Have an issue with voting by folks who don't own property or don't pay taxes, step right up. It can't be unconstitutional if it's written into the new one.
Want to know what a Constitutional Convention would look like if held today? Read the third volume of Matt Bracken's "Enemies" trilogy. I believe that Bracken hit the dot in the very center of the bullseye. I could find nothing - not the smallest detail - to argue with in Bracken's description of a fictitious Con Con. The title of the book is "FOREIGN ENEMIES and traitors". Get the trilogy. Read all three volumes. They are not only a ripping good read, but also an excellent look at what could very well happen.
Publius Huldah has spend 40 years plus or minus a few studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. See the topic constitutional convention at her blog http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/category/constitutional-convention/ Article V of the Constitution is very short. Liberty Amendments is not based on the Constitution. As far as I know the Southern States did allow States to call a convention for changing their Constitution--see James and Walter Kennedy's book The South Was Right.
Anyone who thinks a constitutional convention can disarm them, might as well sell his guns right now. Sheesh folks, grow a pair.
As to getting a new constitution, that no politician pays attention to, I don't see how that is an improvement on the old constitution, that no politician pays attention to.

They should be careful what they wish for. It might turn out very different from what they are imagining it to be.

And what happens to a state that declines to ratify the new Constitution? Is that a de facto secession?
"Sorry, we're just not willing to live under that kind of government. Seeya."

Read Matt Bracken for one possible scenario......
