If you can’t get 3/4ths to pass an amendment now, what difference does an Article V convention make??

Specifically, what power do you think an Article V convention provides your ideas?

You don’t need an Article V convention. Simply introduce your Amendment(s) to the US Congress now. There is simply no difference.

There is simply no difference...

There is a difference. Congress is not going to reform itself. That's why a means around them was devised in the first place. The ratification of 3/4's of the states is the only thing that is the same.

A convention of states, even if it can agree on nothing, or its suggested amendments go nowhere, will show put to rest the silly fear of a runaway convention.
