The con-con or convention of states as it's being marketed is a fools errand. It is naive and simplistic to believe that adding words to something that is already being ignored will fix the problem. The Constitution is not broken. It's the voters. I don't want a BBA because like the Clinton surplus they will simply move items off the budget or simply won't pass a budget as they do now. Talk about fear mongering that will be done using a BB as the excuse. Also how will the right control the nature of the amendments. There are 29 states with left leaning legislatures. Oh but of course a large majority of states will ultimately have to ratify any amendments. Remember the 16, 17, and 18 amendments. They got ratified and only one was repealed. There is no protection against unwanted measures and unintended consequences with this foolish effort. I don't want term limits either since when someone worthwhile is elected and reaches their limit my right to elect representatives of my choice would be infringed by being denied the ability to vote for my choice. No the simpletons are really lining up behind the "wise men" on this one!
