You really think a new Constitution or new amendments will mean anything to the same politicians that ignore all the rest of them?

I don’t

The only worthwhile amendments are structural, like those proposed by Mark Levin.

Even Adams and Franklin realized that declaring independence wasn't enough; that they needed a document that made plain for all to see the acts of tyranny.

If, as you suggest.. it does nothing more than expose for all to see the way the politicians see the rule of law and the Constitution, it will serve a purpose.

It will justify what some say is the inevitable conclusion: armed conflict, civil war, revolution.

Having followed the procedures in Article V and then having it ignored, will lay the groundwork for legitimizing any armed rebellion that follows if and when some states resort to defending their sovereignty as a last resort.

Nor do I. But your comment totally misses the point and shows that you do not understand what the convention would accomplish. If done effectively, it would render their current MO ineffective.

I simply take the stand that doing nothing will continue to accomplish nothing.
