Mayer On The Constitutional Convention
Here is an article I wrote for the San Francisco Daily Journal regarding the legal and political issues raised by the calls for a constitutional convention. Among other things, I question the constitutionality of AB 4, the statute currently before the Legislature that would prescribe a means of selecting (not electing) the delegates to a convention. I also other a suggestion as to how the scope of such a convention could be limited.

Californians are angry! We believe California’s system of government is fundamentally broken. Our prisons overflow, our water system teeters on collapse, our once proud schools are criminally poor, our financing system is bankrupt, our democracy produces ideologically-extreme legislators that can pass neither budget nor reforms, and we have no recourse in the system to right these wrongs. It's time to get involved http://pfx.me/eJ
