States Constitutional Convention

I'm scared half to death to think about the states convening a Constitutional Convention to write a new Constitution.  Good God!  Just think what it would be like with the hundreds, or maybe thousands, of screaming liberals invading the convention and throwing it into total chaos with their insatiable demands for every liberal cause you can visualize.  I foresee nothing of substance could be accomplished, and we would end up with something so totally and grotesquely liberal in nature it could never be proportionately applied to the nation as a whole.

The Constitution we have NOW has served us well for over 200 years.  Why do away with it for something of unknown quality?  What is needed is to ENFORCE the Constitution we now have.  The current government and even those preceding it all the way back to the Wilson Administration (1918-1920) have trampled on the Constitution to some degree or another.  The current Constitution provides for a mechanism to alter it by amendment.

I throughly endorse the proposed 28th Amendment to require members of Congress to abide by the same laws we do, but fear it would be of little effect.  Members of Congress and government routinely ignore the provisions of the Constitution and have for years on end, so why think they would be any different with the 28th Amendment?  The Constitution requires that Congress pass an annual budget, but have gone without a budget for six years?  It's a joke!  Many IRS people are years in arrears for payment of their income taxes.  It goes on infinitely.  

The only hope is to find some way to make ALL voters have skin-in-the-game.  As long as voters can get free stuff and no consequences, then they will vote for the free stuff.
