We do not have the educated or even more importantly morally grounded people in this country to dare try convening an Article V. Suicidal.
We only need a handful of patriots to make it work. Plenty of people fit the bill. Don’t forget it only proposes amendments. They still have to go out to all the states to get ratified. Just like any other amendment. All this Chicken Little stuff has prevented the one thing the Founders included to get liberty back on track after the system they created got corrupted over time. That is actually a good thing because the bad guys are getting hit from a direction they had not planned for. They focused on getting the District of Criminals to get the lion’s share of the loot and power. To our common enemy the states are a side show.
