I'm cautiously optimistic about the idea.

The Convention of the States movement is ** pushing for such a convention.

This time, conservatives want to constitutionally reduce the size of government, make it easier to fire federal employees such as Anthony Fauci, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' director, eliminate whole Cabinet-level agencies, and enshrine a nine-justice Supreme Court.

We should keep our eyes and efforts on this.

This is amazingly dangerous, and could instead result in a horrible expansion of Federal powers, but we're stuck right now.

I'm a bit pessimistic. The government is currently ignoring much of the Constitution and making the Constitution stronger won't solve that problem and may make it worse.

Typically, a convention scares the federal government when it's ignoring state and local needs. With America first figures in state and local governments, there's a window for positive change. Of course, we'll have to guard against schemers who also want a convention, like Soros.
