Publius Huldah Misses it on Article V. Convention

Interesting article. It's not that I am not favorable of Publius Huldah, for much of the writings are very good. But I disagree on the Article V. Convention angle. Simply said, Article V. Convention is something given to us by the Founding Fathers, there is no way it can become a runaway convention because of the necessity of State ratification, and even the original convention wasn't a runaway. The State Legislatures gave the delegates the authority to have the convention and the States Legislatures later approved of the Constitution by ratifying it. Article V. Convention is only for the purpose of proposing amendments. It still takes 3/4 of the States to ratify. 14 States, or so, a very small number, can stop any amendment from becoming a part of the law of the land. The federal government is scared to death of convention because they can't control it. It would be our way to ensure the law as it is written, through amendments, clearly (more so that it already does) limits the authorities of the federal government. We must remember, also, that according to Article V., there is only two ways to propose amendments: through Congress, or by Convention of the States. To be against convention is to say that you only trust Congress to be the only ones allowed to propose amendments, and that, my friend, is a very dangerous position to take when we are seeking to limit their activities and authorities.
