I refer specifically to Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments.

The most important one restores a senate of the states, through repeal of the 17th Amendment.

His amendment proposals are structural. They cannot be gotten around through "living and breathing" nonsense.

I don't think a Convention can be limited as to what it considers. I firmly believe that the 17th Amendment guaranteed the present all consuming because it eliminated states as sovereign entities with representation as States in the federal legislature. States cannot defend their interests. The 17th should be repealed or rather should never have been ratified. Seriously, I don't think anything done to the Constitution beyond repealing the 17th is relevant to the State as it exists. We are way past that point. A serious attempt to repeal would meet massive opposition by the entire DC establishment and might bring on the the actual formal scrapping of the Constitution.That said the 17th Amendment should be repealed. The sooner the shooting starts the more likely it is that the Patriots will win it.
