The left has figured out that they can remake the United States to their desires by appointing judges who will ignore the constitution.
The genie is out of the bottle and liberals aren't gonna change their ways, their desires are what motivates them.
It is asinine not to use a weapon to defend yourself on the basis of "gee, I've always avoided using that weapon before".
When there is nothing left of the US that you used to know will you soothe yourself with proud reflections of "well, at least we didn't take the extreme measure of taking the framers up on their inclusion of an amendment process to save ourselves".
We need to fight fire with fire. We need to realize that these are different times that require meaningful action.
The Fathers foresaw plenty even if only in the abstract, they couldn't have imagined all these judges who are hostile to the constitution. I even expect that they would have felt the 2nd amendment was enough of a deterent to judicial tyranny and would be shaking their heads and covering their faces if they could see what we have allowed this country to become.
It's time to amend with a vengeance.
We need to fight fire with fire. We need to realize that these are different times that require meaningful action. You want an amendment that declares our government has the power to dictate the 'rules' about marriage?

But they did.. They wrote in checks & balances on the judicial system that aren't being used for political reasons.. -- You want to change that balance by amendment? - I see a dangerous precedent.

A majority in this country want more gun control.. Are you willing to see them amend our constitution to reach that goal?

Such 'vengeance' can backfire, imo.
