Will Republicans Pushing for a Constitutional Convention Succeed?​

A conservative movement aimed at garnering enough support to rewrite the Constitution has been gaining momentum in recent years.

Would this go the way they might hope, or would it backfire?

What? The Republicans want to amend the 2nd Amendment to mean what they want it to mean and that it doesn't now actually say?

Yawn, the Article V convention movement has been around for years. The difference in the Article V strategy points out both means for amending the Constitution. The second method takes it out of the hands of the Congress:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

Perhaps they would like a more clearly defined separation of Church and state ... as in abolition of religious words and practices by any form of Government. The motto and the currency for starters.

The movement is about limiting more precisely the power of the federal government. Mark Levin wrote a book on it.
