So. Constitutional Convention. Let's talk.

39. The conservatives also want a CC for entirely different reasons

The fear of some people on both sides is this: does it have to stick to an agenda, or can it do any damn thing it wants, once convened.

Most Conservatives want congressional term limits and a balanced budget amendment. Many want a RTL amendment. Progressives want to end the EC, and end corporate personhood. Many want a reproductive freedom amendment.

At some point, the nation needs to decide whether the President is or isn't above the law (perhaps amend to say he can't fire the AG without unanimous support of the SCOTUS); needs to decide on some way to force Congress to give up or down votes on judges (I think 90 days is sufficient); and should consider substituting the word "media" for "press" in 1A.

None of this will happen.

I think maybe you could find 37 states to agree on a balanced budget amendment. I guarantee you could find 37 states to say that the feds can't pass unfunded mandates. beyond that, it's hard to find agreement on much.
