There are proposals for a “Convention of the States” by a number of political entities, with various aims, both from the left, right and center.
A mock convention of the far right adopted proposals on August 4th, 2023.
Before we look at the proposals themselves, I have a question. Yes, it is possible the far right could elect enough delegates to a Constitutional Convention to gain operation control of such convention. But at the end of the day, they need the ratifications of 38 States to actually get such proposals in the Constitution. How the hell do the plan on doing that?
California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois and Vermont are essentially out of reach for ratifying such amendments. Twelve States. Which means they would have to get the ratification of every other State, which is a practical impossibility.
Now the very first proposal relating to Congressional term limits could possibly be ratified.
The second relating to the size of the Supreme Court, not so much.
The fiscal restraint proposal is unlikely to be ratified.
The commerce clause proposal is unlikely to be ratified.
The State “veto” proposal is essentially a rehash of a proposal from the Southern Manifesto, again, not likely to pass.
They did compromise on the Federal lands proposal by exempting anything that was a National Park prior to July 1st, 1976, but still not going to be ratified.
Whether you agree or disagree with these things, and I partially agree with some and partially or fully disagree with others, there is no chance of ratification by 38 States, with the exception of the Congressional term limits proposal.
I do think the Constitution needs some revision and updating, but only consensus proposals have a realistic chance of getting the ratifications of 38 States.
Which is why such a large number of States is required, so that far left or far right proposals cannot be shoved through with a bare majority of States.
Proposals like these make for a nice Manifesto, but have little chance of ratification.
Of course, it is quite possible that if a convention is summoned, delegates of the left might have an operational majority, leading to equally ridiculous far left proposals.
Ideally, neither the far left or far right would have an outright majority in such a convention, forcing consensus proposals.
