But supposing that a COS does write a smorgasbord of amendments, some of which might actually be acceptable improvements (like mandatory term limits). The States can, in theory, pick out the "good amendments" from the "bad amendments". Maybe something decent could get approved.
The Government largely ignores the Constitution we have now. People tolerate major impairments to every one of the ten amendments in the Bill-of-Rights. Why would adding more amendments make any difference?
There are too many people who passionately want a Socialist Government and they will not be persuaded otherwise. Moreover the Socialists control almost all of our major cultural and political institutions right now. They won't voluntarily give up those positions.
We will get a revised Constitution after the next Civil War. Hold on to the COS proposals. They will be needed for the rebuilding that comes afterwards.
I keep hearing about Leftists hijacking a COS. Delegates are agents with commissions. Not-hijackable.
Since, as you say, the government largely ignores the Constitution, then a COS can do no harm.
The only worthwhile amendments are those that reform corrupted institutions, beginning with repeal of the 17A and, for instance, Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments.
But, for argument’s sake, let’s say you are right, and a COS somehow goes nuts, then at least the Constitution was amended through the Constitution instead of a shifting majority of nine lawyers or the Administrative State.
The government isn’t ours. We will continue to lose more of it with every passing year unless we stand up and reclaim what is OURS - our beloved Constitution.
Oops. I missed your last para.

Really? You’re willing to roll the dice on the outcome of revolution, then a COS? A COS before the bayonet is far safer.
