Over at Free North Carolina* there's a post on the dangers of a Constitutional Convention, something that political true believers of all stripes occasionally invoke as a magic cure-all for whatever they think ails the body politic, despite (or without acknowledging) its inherent riskiness.
Heck, a runaway Con-Con is practically the entire backstory of the third book in the EFAD trilogy.
Anyway, there's a video in there and in the middle of it is about fifteen minutes of Laurence Tribe plainly and engagingly describing exactly why a Constitutional Convention would be a bad thing at this precise point in history, and for once in my life, I found myself agreeing with practically every word he said. (Well, it was the second time, actually. The first was when he warned his fellow progressive pinko lefties that the "collective interpretation" of the Second Amendment was a farce and endangered all those other amendments they love so much.)
Any political issue that makes bedfellows out of Tribe and the Birchers is one worth a moment's pause.
