If I wanted to be a Congress of maximum chaos, I would do the following:

1. Make each proposed amendment follow the ratifying convention method.
2. Organize in each state to demand separate conventions for each amendment , on the grounds that each deserves its own attention and focus with their dedicated experts.
3. Demand that each ratifying convent be held simultaneously, so as to divide the states' attention and expertise. This way, influential state politicians cannot participate in the ratification of all the amendments.

When people balk and push back, as expected, tie it up in the courts for as long as possible. Make people disgusted with the politics of it. Use that disgust to push for rejecting all the amendments. It sounds like a plan that McConnell is an expert at coordinating.

#1 and #2 would be legal. #3 would not.
