Right-Wing Dream To Rewrite the Constitution Is Close

HuffPost: “Between 1973 and 1979, 29 states called for a convention to consider a Balanced Budget Amendment, a proposal that economists have repeatedly warned would hamstring the federal government’s tax-and-spend authorities.”

“In addition to the states that have active Balanced Budget Amendment resolutions on the books, six states have passed calls for a plenary convention to consider general changes to the document.”

“Combine them, and the necessary two-thirds of states have filed petitions, meaning Congress has an obligation to call a convention.”

Well, you can’t really combine the two but the point is still worth considering.
