A COS can recommend structural changes...

Right, and that’s it’s current appeal.

Everyone can fantasize about how the convention would save us by adopting their pet amendment(s).

The real work is building broad and deep support for the specific changes that will be proposed - and those that won’t - but that’s really hard.

All this focus on process instead of substance is fun but puts the cart squarely in front of the horse.

Agree. Its up to the states to reassert their sovereignty. Thanks to a couple of early sixties scotus decisions that did enormous damage, state senate districts (one man one vote) are of near equal populations that disregard rural interests. It is entirely possible our democratized state legislatures will not step up to the plate and do what is necessary.
