There is NO “Constitutional Convention” proposed by MI or Mark Levin, or anybody else today. We hand one “Constitutional Convention” in 1789, and under THIS Constitution, ONLY conventions to propose amendments are Constitutional.
Furthermore, not all Article-V conventions are the same... they always have a Call Topic.
In the case of MI, it is for a balance budget amendment. PERIOD.A BBA amendment convention is VERY narrowly focused, and would produce one amendment.
In the case of the COS and Levin, it is to reign-in the federal govt. PERIOD. A COS might produce a few to a half-dozen or so amendments (term limits, abolish the 17th, and a few others).
All that would emerge is the still intact, coerced union with the Bill of Rights tossed out and the Declaration of Independence deemed seditious, which in context, probably is.
We are a totalitarian state along these lines:

Only one or the other or a combination of two things will change the status quo, or something even worse than the status quo:
1) Overthrow of the Washington government by internal or external enemies, or
2) sovereign bankruptcy and dissolution.
Ping.
Um, no.
His reasoning might be solid, but for the fact that the government operates heedless to the Constitution we have. His proposed Liberty Amendments on the other fall egregiously short of dealing with the most obvious and egregious flaws in the original document. hence, this idea of Levin's has dropped him in my estimation considerably.
