No, the answer is to build a super-majority in favor of a return to constitutionality. Without this, a con-con can only create problems, not solve existing ones.
Of course, if there is a super-majority of Americans in favor of a return to constitutionalism, these problems wouldn't exist, would they?

IOW, we have met the enemy and they is us. The American people must change to solve this problem. And that occurs in the culture, which conservatives have almost entirely abandoned attempts to influence.
