Second, no sovereign people in history ever met to do themselves harm.
That is why there should be an Article V Convention. All the stupid, silly and harmful results since the first Constitutional Convention have been from our “elected representatives” being somewhat immune to societal scrutiny on a timely basis (the next election is often years away).
Is there a Governor or two that could try to wreck Art. V convention, sure, but right now at least those that have some identity as conservative are in the majority.
If State’s Convention somehow goes off the tracks, there is the 2nd Amendment as a fall-back position and every politician recognizes that at minimum we have the arsenal ability if not yet the desire for such sovereignty reclaim exercise.

Well said. There is a tremendous difference between the people acting in their Article I electoral and Article V sovereign capacities!
