Texas Governor Abbott calls for amendments to U.S. Constitution
By Jon Herskovitz AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) – Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for a conference of the states to add new nine amendments to the U.S. Constitution, saying the U.S. Congress, the President and U.S. Supreme Court are eroding the rule of law in the country. Speaking at a conservative forum in Austin, Abbott, a Republican, said the federal government, courts and president were overreaching their constitutional bounds and he wanted legislation authorizing Texas to join other states in calling for a “Convention of States to fix the cracks in our Constitution.” Amending the constitution, however, could prove difficult.

Since the forming of a new convention…
would it be legal/possible to have each state create these new amendments to their own state Constitution, instead…so we wouldn’t have to do the convention thing, which could be subverted, by treason?
This way, the state could keep track of what is going on and it wouldn’t affect anything in the other states, like trying to keep track of what a whole convention could try to subvert?
