Excellent article. It looks like Ms. Bottari hit the lemmings' hot button! People won't stop talking about an Article V convention, an amending convention, a constitutional convention, etc. being the same because it's a distinction without a difference. It's loud and clear the Delegates to such a convention, as direct representatives of the People and based on our unalienable right to alter or abolish our Form of Government as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, para 2, would be able to do whatever they decide to do: change the rules; rewrite and replace the Constitution; change the ratification process; whatever. They say the plan isn't to rewrite the Constitution, but to RESTORE the original intent of the document as ratified in 1789. How about enforcing the Constitution we have, using the Federalist papers to interpret it? Instead they are listening to the courts now which are the same courts they'll run to when the federal government ignores their "amendments." Hello?
