A Con Con -- short for a new "constitutional convention" -- would be an unprecedented assembly of representatives nationwide in order to rewrite the Constitution as permitted by its Article V.
It is expected by many that the media and a relatively small number of people would dominate the process, with predictably liberal results.[1]
As Chief Justice Warren Burger stated:[2]
- A constitutional Convention today would be a free-for-all for special interest groups, television coverage, and press speculation.
