Wyoming lawmakers oppose Constitutional Convention
I didn't know about this and I don't like the sound of it.
Of course, you can read about it and form your own opinion...

Bob Unruh writes about it at WorldNetDaily.com:
"DeWeese wrote in his alert, 'In truth no restrictive language from any state can legally limit the scope or outcome of a [Constitutional] Convention! Once a Convention is called Congress determines how the delegates to the Convention are chosen. Once chosen, those Convention delegates possess more power than the U.S. Congress itself.'
'DeWeese is right,' Baldwin added. 'If called, a modern Constitutional Convention could declare the U.S. Constitution to be null and void, and could completely rewrite the document. For example, former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger once declared, 'There is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The Convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda.'"
