I have to say: that idea gives me the willies!

A new constitutional convention would bring ALL the wing-nuts and moon-bats out of the woodwork. There would be attempts to have Christianity declared as the official state religion of the 'new' America. There would be even more strenuous attempts to have English declared as the official state language. There would be a push for a 'parental rights' amendment' which would give parents absolute authority over the upbringing of their children. [There was an attempt in Colorado a few years back to amend the state constitution with such an idea.]

I am far, far from being convinced that a new constitutional convention would, in the end, generate a 'product' that is superior to the constitution we now have.
