Yes, this is a major pain when we put in useful things like Headlee & the MCRI.

But it is also advantageous when someone has the hare-brained scheme to institute a "progressive" income tax or RMGN.

But calling a Con-Con will be literally opening up a can of worms with everything up in the air. Or worse yet, politicians who will try to entice you with something (to meet you "halfway" of course), in order to get something that they want.

I've seen enough backroom dealing with Obamacare to know that this is not a way to lead. If your idea is sound and rationale, then it should be able to sell itself without any deals.
