State Government Committee Minority Chair Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia) spoke against the resolution, fearing it could end up compromising important constitutional rights.

“I have great reservations about opening up a constitutional convention and all of the challenges that could come out of that, potentially eroding many of our fundamental rights,” he said.

This is what was talking about

Yep, here it comes.

They want you to believe it is safe. That a 'Limited Convention' is a thing... it is not. Lawmakers know that there is no legal mechanism for a 'Limited Convention'. Apparently Sharif Street is actually trying to warn people. Constitutional Conventions are UNLIMITED BY DESIGN. Go read Article V. No state legislature can place limits on a Constitutional Convention. The Constitution is the highest law of the land.

If a Constitutional Convention is successfully called it will be the end of Freedom.

This is the key point that needs to be made in any and every conversation about a Constitutional Convention. The Constitution that comes out of it will almost certainly be radically different than the one we have now. (Even with its flaws.) If anything leads to a secession of states it will be this.

The real smoking gun is the fact that everything they say they want to do at a Constitutional Convention could be accomplished easier with a Amendment. If all they want are a few specific amendments then they should just propose a few amendments.

They say they want a specific change... but they ask for a blank check

They couldn't be more obvious about it if they tried, and yet sheep will buy into the idea.
