we need a constitutional convention badly.
Very dangerous, that. Look what happened last time we had one. They were sent to the convention to make a couple of tweaks to the Articles of Confederation, and they misused their authority to throw the entire previous constitution out and start from scratch. Could you imagine what kind of new constitution they'd give us if they had an opportunity to do that today?
Much better, therefore, to work simply towards forcing government to actually live by the restraints contained in the current Constitution. If we only did that, 98% of the problems that have plagued us since about 1913 would disappear. All we need to do is to clarify the Fourteenth, and repeal the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments, and add one new amendment that simply states that the Bill of Rights actually means what it plainly says, as does the remainder of the Constitution, i.e., there are no emanations from penumbras.
