Answer this question:

If the 0bama Regime is now ignoring and disregarding our Constitution, what makes you think he or any other democrat will comply with any Amendments that come out of a Article V Constitutional Convention?

That question has been answered numerous times before on FR.

Answer your question by answering how the Federal Government will evade the following example Amendments:

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXVIII

To restore effective suffrage of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:

************************************************
Section 1.
A Senator in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.

Section 2.
The seventeenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
************************************************

and

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXIX

To redress the balance of powers between the federal government and the States, the following amendment is proposed:

************************************************
Section 1.
Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than twelve years nor more than eighteen years.

Section 2.
Upon a majority vote in three-fifths of state legislatures, specific federal statutes, federal court decisions and executive directives of any form shall be repealed and made void.
************************************************

The above are structural amendments that leave all power for their enforcement in the hands of state legislatures and voters. The Federal Government can do nothing because there is no constitutional power to do anything against these types of amendments.

The constitutional scholars, law professors and state legislative leaders that are pushing the Article V Convention forward are not stupid. They are far ahead of the curve in every respect.
