They can completely rewrite the US Constitution. And I think they can then approve the rewrite without any states voting.
This is an immediate catalyst to breakup of this nation- I pray it never comes..!
They could.

How could they do that? Somebody would have to ratify the Constitution. And as things stand, it would probably be state conventions.
I don't think we need a new constitutional convention or a new Constitution. But if the country's as divided as everybody says it is, where would you get the kind of agreement necessary to scrap what we have and replace it with a new one?
What happened in 1787 happened because the franchise was still rather narrow. Voters tended to have similar interests. Nowadays, it's less likely that there'd be such agreement about fundamentals.
