2. Leading Article V scholar uncovers FASCINATING new evidence for limited convention
“A common tactic among opponents of an amendments convention is to label it a ‘constitutional convention,’ and then claim that a constitutional convention is inherently unlimited,” notes constitutional scholar Professor Robert G.
