[Political Junkie Too]

You really think a new Constitution or new amendments will mean anything to the same politicians that ignore all the rest of them?

Even Adams and Franklin realized that declaring independence wasn't enough; that they needed a document that made plain for all to see the acts of tyranny.

If, as you suggest.. it does nothing more than expose for all to see the way the politicians see the rule of law and the Constitution, it will serve a purpose.

It will justify what some say is the inevitable conclusion: armed conflict, civil war, revolution.

Having followed the procedures in Article V and then having it ignored, will lay the groundwork for legitimizing any armed rebellion that follows if and when some states resort to defending their sovereignty as a last resort.

Jefferson and those guys also did not think that document would be worth crap after a generation or two. They thought new revolutions would be needed every so often.
