Article V ping!
That is correct in the extreme.
Unfortunately Constitutional law has failed due to the corruption of a politically motivated judiciary that sees the constitution as not a document to be upheld but an enemy of their beliefs. It is really that simple.

Agree. The scotus is tyrannical. It knows no limits. Like the House, Senate and Presidency, it is a political institution.
The pattern was set some twenty years after the 17th Amendment when popularly elected senators rolled over to the will of a wildly popular FDR.
The 17th enabled the New Deal, Great Society, and will do the same with most of the upcoming Green New Deal.
We need to repeal the 16th and 17th amendments, and we need to increase the size of the House of Representatives. Perhaps there should be a maximum number of people a congressional district can contain, roughly equal to hte population of the least populous state.
Great Britain is a country of 68.2 million and there are 650 members of the House of Commons. The United States is a country of 330 million and the House of Representatives consists of 435 members.
Once we get our folks back in power, we need to increase the number of Federal judgeships.
<> roughly equal to the population of the least populous state.<>
A good place to start. With their enormous districts, the House of Reps is hardly representative.
What would you think of making representatives “dotted line” to the state assembly? They would have their votes determined by the local reps who are closer to the people?

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the governance of any other." October 11, 1798 John Adams
As I related in my post, John Adams wrote much more.
True it is..!! All you need do is use google maps and walk the streets of the third world cities and see all the walls, security gates and concertina wire... Just LOOK and see what our future is going to be when as much as a 25 to 30 percent of the population are common criminals..
The streets belong to the crooks and the people live behind the bars and the walls... :(
No joy at your link.
All these suggestions require the people in power already to legilate against themselves.
Well, that would remove “consent of the governed” by another degree from the people.
If the HR gets too big it becomes even more unwieldy then it already is !
“The revolution was effected before the war commenced.
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people.
This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments,
and affections of the people was the real American Revolution.”
