A Constitutional Convention is risky, of course; but, (IMHO as just an interested bystander) better than continuing to leave it up to the nine oligarchs comprising the Supreme Court to, in effect, amend the constitution as they see fit.

A Convention of States is not a Constitutional Convention. It can’t rewrite the US Constitution. It can only propose amendments to the Constitution and repeal of existing amendments, the 17th for instance.

No one is going to rewrite the Constitution. The states are simply going to propose Amendments that will pass with either 3/4 of the state legislatures ratifying or conventions in 3/4 of the states ratifying.
