There have been other movements to convene the states for the purpose of amendments.

Each time, congress stepped in to sidetrack the process.

There is no doubt congress will attempt the same.

I expect rat and rino skulduggery behind the scenes. Individual state legislators will be cajoled/bribed/threatened.

If that does not work, congress will attempt to compromise the amendments, by offering their own watered down versions.

I agree. They pulled it off cleverly in 1913 when we should have had an Amendments Convention to discuss the direct election of senators.

But this time I don't think they'll be able to pull it off. It's a combination of the American people's low opinion of Congress and the ability of the Internet to disseminate information without the usual corporate filters. I see that old 1991 bill of Orrin Hatch's as the way they'll go to "tame" the Convention, but it may not survive the House or the Supreme Court.
