The first time America could have used Article V was the First Democrat -Republican war. Itstead it got a bloody Civil War and forced Amendments that made the Federal Government free to implement cosmic justice. You are afraid of a power that Congress has had from the beginning. Notice how most of its amendments have added to Federal power? It's about time to introduce amendments that do the opposite.
We do not have the educated or even more importantly morally grounded people in this country to dare try convening an Article V. Suicidal.
