And yet none of that rebuts what my objections.

A) They are extremely unlikely to do a better job than the founders
B) If it won’t be enforced like the current one, why waste the energy?

[Jacquerie]

The goal is to return to the federalism of the framers.

The changes will hopefully be structural, such as repeal of the 17th and term limits.

There have been changes to the original intent that need to be undone, i.e. the direct vote of Senators.

Of all the proposed amendments, this, IMHO, is the most quixotic. You will never get people to vote in favor of taking away their right to vote.

[Baynative]

"You will never get people to vote in favor of taking away their right to vote."

Yet, a great many people are willing to simply give away their vote either to an influx of illegal new citizens through amnesty, or a President who simply feels that the representatives elected by the people are nuisances to be ignored or passed over by Executive Order.

A diligently conducted COS can be the tool to remedy this trend as the founders intended.
