The error would be to have a Constitution modified by the current crop of politicians instead of the one written by the Founders.

It’s already been irreparably distorted by the 17th Amendment and the expansive Commerce Clause.

You just summed up everything Beck said, in one, very simple sentence.

Only a complete buffoon with terminal normalcy bias would be against an Art V convention.

That’s not the reason for Article V.

An Article V convention can modify the Constitution no more than any other amendment proposed, voted on by Congress & ratified by the states can.

All an article V convention does is bypass Congress. The states still have to ratify any amendment that comes out of an Article V convention.
