ST this is a specious argument. The old constitution is for a moral and just people. The objective of an amended constitution is to provide legal means to combat a corrupt and I dare say criminal political class. Presently we have a criminal federal court system, a criminal executive, and a congress with enough criminals in it to protect and defend the other two criminal branches. All aided by a propaganda media that deceives and manipulates the public. And your argument appears to be that the present constitution is OK as. The activites of the federal government refutes your argument in in its entirety. You are worried about the imposition of tyranny, sorry, it is already here. We need to use every means available to restore a moral and just government and responsibly exercise every peaceful means to do so. Article V is that means and it is the only chance this republic has. In the end it will be used.
No “ink on paper” is going to make a difference with the people we’ve got out there now. “Old or new” ... until you change the people, it’s still going to be ink on paper.
