Our Constitution has many defects, the worst of them being how very undemocratic its amplification of small states is. For that reason, the method of reforming or replacing the US constitution guarantees that a Constitutional Convention would only make things worse.

Each state sends an equal number of people to the ConCon and Republicans control most state assemblies that would be choosing the representatives. We would lose many constitutional protections and gain theorcraccy.
Now Koch has been funding efforts to get a ConCon for years because he wants to get rid of environmental regulations so he wants to attack the commerce clause. The six on the Court that will eviscerate abortion rights are there to eviscerate the commerce clause, too.
One way you KNOW Cenk Uyger is a chaos agent is his pushing for ConCon. There is no way a constitutional convention with people chosen by today's state legislatures would come out with something we want.
