The constitutional theory today is that if an Article V convention takes place — triggered by agreement between 2/3s of the states, Congress cannot interfere. It’s a straight up or straight down State vote of 3/4s of the States to pass an amendment without any vote needed from Congress.

"if an Article V convention takes place — triggered by agreement between 2/3s of the states, Congress cannot interfere."

Pretty much what I said. The states don't need to beg. They have the power, if they will use it.
