[Moseley]

Others have said that Congress has a limited administrative-only role in an Article V proposing convention process. You make it sound as if Congress has supreme authority over the process. Article V says that Congress' only role is to call the convention when enough states apply, and to select the method of state ratification of proposed amendments. Everything else in between, is for the convention itself to decide.

Says who? Here is the acid test: What happens when it is NOT done that way? To whom will you go to complain? What will you do to sop it? Who will enforce the vain and empty hopes you cling to?

If the DC insiders don't obey the clear words of the Constitution now, what makes you think they will follow your empty wishes that are not written down anywhere?

Because the states will ignore them and hold their convention anyway. Or their first order of business will be to set aside Congressional restraints and vote in their own rules.

Congress only has the power to call the Convention and specify the method of ratification.

Everything else not written down falls to the states themselves to decide via the 10th amendment.
