So the solution to Marxists not reading the constitution is to let the Marxists write a new constitution?

An Article 5 convention would not permit the writing of a new Constitution - it is only for the purpose of proposing amendments to the existing Constitution. Each of those amendments would still have to be ratified by 38 states.

Yea, that's how it get's rewritten. For example the 18th was repealed (rewritten) by the 21st.

They could propose new amendments to clarify the language of the first and or the 2nd.. I dare say that WILL be on the agenda of some.
