“So how exactly would what you suggest happen? Lay it out, step by step. But you can’t.”
Yeah... I can. The same way half the original constitution gets the finger flipped to it. One Supreme Court ruling and we are off to the races. And that is one example already.
The Supreme Court simply grabbed it’s power to rule on constitutionality. It isn’t in the Constitution.
The Interstate Commerce Clause is wildly abused. Issuing and setting the value of money is in the Constitution, the Federal reserve is not.
They will take an afternoon to rule that a con/con. And NOWHERE does it restrict the convention of states to only the topics in the application. Once they are seated, they can do anything they please... including repealing sections of the original.
That's really pretty funny! Do an internet search on "United States Constitution" some time, and take one minute to actually read Article V. The part about any changes to the Constitution needing approval by 3/4 of the States is quite interesting!

The 1787 convention originally met to only amend the Articles of Confederation. Instead, they junked the whole thing and wrote a new constitution, so there is precedent.
