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 should scare the hell out of anyone with a room temperature or higher IQ.

Once that door is open they can change anything in the document. We don't need a Constitutional Convention to eliminate cabinet level agencies. Just an executive with balls.

This whole thing is subterfuge to get rid of the bill of rights. I guarantee it.

"We had to give in on the second amendment in order to reduce the size of government". I can hear it now. This will truly be the end of America.

This is the correct answer. Hillary Clinton was/is also pushing a Constitutional Convention. Once convened, they will strip away 2A for sure, and create amendments that are 25,000 pages long to structure a modern panopticon.

What stops the next president from bringing those agencies back?

The people not being dumb fucks and not voting for democrats or RINO's? Nothing I guess but would they?

That would be helpful for a constitutional convention, too.

Nothing I guess but would they?

If "they" are the people, maybe. If "they" refers to the hypothetical next president, that is a potential danger. I'm aware that a constitutional convention has risks, but so does relying on a coming great man, executive orders, or anything else.

What stops the plethora of bad actors from getting control of the Convention of the States movement, and using it to gut the Constitution, tear up the Bill of Rights, and create another commie/socialist utopia like Venezuela?

Most realistically, it would be conventions rarely actually occuring, but the threat of a convention makes the federal government act. Like I put in the post, a Soros-backed convention effort already exists. That means it's better that rival efforts exist to sabotage his efforts and if they were really lucky, actually make positive changes.

The argument that something could go wrong is understandable, but it implicitly favors inaction and giving tactics to the left.
