Makes sense. But how would delegates to the convention be chosen? Not sure I’d trust 21st Americans over our Founders.

RED STATE DELEGATES CHOSEN BY RED STATE LEGISLATURES
Barnett:
The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the United States. Article V of the Constitution provides two ways for amendments to be proposed and two ways for them to be ratified. Congress may propose Amendments to the States, or the States may petition Congress to declare a constitutional convention to propose amendments. While there have been resolutions in favor of Constitutional Conventions, Congress has always preempted them by proposing the amendments themselves. Once proposed, an amendment can be ratified by a three-fourths vote of either the State Legislatures, or by State Convention. The amendment can specify how it is to be ratified: only the Twenty-First Amendment was ratified by State Conventions.”
BY THE WAY THE TEA PARTY KNOWS ABOUT THIS BILL. What a rallying cry it would provide.
