The constitution convetion route only leads you in a circle back to where you start because it still does not allow you to leave.

I disagree. I think it's the best way to leave. Secession is already a proven failure. With a convention, you set the terms of ratification. If you don't like the terms, you walk out. With the whole system up in the air, it's the best time to leave.

As I said, any states who leave will need foreign alliances as protection, but I would think those could be had.

I'm in favor of scrapping the Constitution. I see it as a failure.

But you have not ended the original constitution so according to you you are still bound by it. No change.
