US Constitution Article V Convention

 The Convention of States has no power to rewrite the constitution, or even to amend the constitution

• It only may propose amendments, just as Congress can
• 38 states must ratify each proposed amendment
• The convention of states cannot propose amendments to any issue it wants
• Previous attempts at calling Article V conventions have resulted in SCOTUS precedents stating that all amendments are limited to the subjects of a convention's petition
• SCOTUS precedent has already established that each state delegation has one vote
• This is a situation where there is potential risk, but also potential benefit. The challenge being to minimize the risks and maximize the benefits

The Convention Process

• JBS writer Christian Gomez disagrees with the vast majority of well-known conservative scholars who have weighed in on the issue, he agrees with respected, conservative constitutional experts on at least one thing about the Constitution: it is the bulwark of protection for liberty in America.
• While the respected and widely published experts believe that Article V's convention process is an essential part of that bulwark, Gomez seems to believe it is some kind of self-destruct button.
• On the other hand, arguing in favor of the states using the Article V convention process, we have nationally renowned constitutional experts with too many letters behind their name to list here.
