A convention with the current level of populism and ignorance in this country would be a COMPLETE clusterf*ck.
As much as I desperately want this showdown, unfortunately I am forced to agree. Too many Americans today just don't understand anything about the basic foundations of this country. In their mind it is; "America means freedom! Derp derp!" And then when questioned in any depth they immediately demonstrate that they think purely in contemporary sheeple of establishment head bobble group think.

The constitution defines federal limits, is the blueprint for the formation of our government and expounds which individual rights it is supposed to protect.
If you are going to beat on someone for not understanding the constitution Metal Face, it helps if you provide an accurate description yourself.

I love this RWN talking point. It's like paying a $99 bill with a hundred and proudly saying "keep the change".
Of course, talking points are much easier than actually reading parts of the Constitution, such as the Commerce Clause, for example.

What exactly would be the purpose of a constitutional convention (AKA a revolt and overthrow of the country) other than getting all the "states rights" nuts in one place so we could arrest them all and send them to Gitmo?
You really don't understand what the Constitution is, do you?
The Constitution defines the limits of the Federal Government. That's it. That's all it does. "This is what you can do in a nutshell" for the Federal Government.
Literally everything else is by definition and specific intent a "State Right", not a Federal one.
If you are opposed to such a fundamental precept of our Republic the only conclusion one can logically draw from that is that you are in favor of total Federal authority. In other words, you want a dictatorship, not a Republic?
Couldnt come up with an answer huh? You could have just said, 'I dunno, sounds fun!'

Nukes are owned by the fed not the states, but I DO believe you would be stupid enough to use nukes in your own yard!
