With the assistance of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, 1996 presidential nominee Bob Dole and 1984 vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro, University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato is holding a mock Constitutional convention later this month, the
Examiner reports.
It's all designed around the premise of his new book,
A More Perfect Constitution, in which "the oft-quoted Sabato
puts forth 23 proposals to improve the Constitution, and suggests that
Congress and the states should set about convening a convention sooner
rather than later."
Said Sabato: “This is my career book. I’ve been thinking about it since
the 1970s. I’ve been writing it for five years. Maybe because I live in
a house designed by Thomas Jefferson on the U.Va. campus."
