Thanks. The most common response to my suggestion that the Constitution should be amended to make it easier to amend is outrage.

BTW, the author states the last truly substantive amendment was the 22nd, in 51. I disagree, as the “limiting the president to two terms” was strong custom prior to FDR’s breaking it, and IMO was unlikely to be successfully broken again. IOW, the 22nd codified something that was pretty much the case anyway.

Which leaves the 21st, in 1933, as the last “real” amendment.

I get a kick out of those who propose to overturn congressional or court action by amendment. They can’t win an election for a majority of Congress, but they think they can pass an amendment, which is at least 20x harder!
