There is no unacceptable risk to Article V as you suggest. The controls going in are too tight, the history is too clear, the ratification arithmetic is too overwhelming for any miscarriage that you describe.

The left does not need an Article V convention to succeed in the mischief you describe, they are doing it every day and you and I are powerless to stop them apart from an Article V convention.

[Jacquerie]

Within the past few years, the executive and judicial branches have established precedents that no election can reverse. Both branches have assumed Article I Section 1 powers to legislate.

Article I Section 1 created the American republic. ALL legislative powers therein granted were to reside within a congress of the people and states.

When legislative power is assumed by the unelected, despotism is established.

Everything else is irrelevant until this fundamental contradiction and offense to republican government is solved.

Fear not Article V. There is nothing to lose.
