I’ve been seeing this CoS pushed by Levin and others for a couple of years.

I’ve NEVER seen anything about what their ultimate goals are if such a CoS was actually successful.

Anyone here familiar with what the hell they want?

Yes:

Amendment to repeal the 17th (direct election of Sinators)

Amendment for Congressional term limits (eg, 12 years, any combo for Rep terms and Sinator terms)

While the “balanced budget amendment” is older, and on a different path, the current COS may advocate for some financial-related amendments in that vein.

Term limits on federal judges

Basically, what the States themselves view as limiting the power of the feds, and restoring federalism - that has been increasingly usurped over the last century by congress. And, amendments that congress itself would never think of coming up with.

The following link seems to list ten “Liberty Amendments” that Levin proposed in his book of the same name (with commentary on them by the author of the linked blog page)

Well, I read through the list, and the blogger disagrees with most of them. So at least it gives another viewpoint of them.

I clicked on a recommended link on the page [amend-it dot org] and Bitdefender blocked it saying:
