The new amendments themselves would reduce the ability of the leviathan to overstep its bounds - term limits for Congress, term limits for SCOTUS, judicial revue powers for the states as examples. Those are fundamental changes to our current system that would put limitations on the leviathan from the outside, instead of relying on compliance from within.

Violations of these new amendments would be black and white instances of defiance. There would be no way to spin it otherwise. If a congressman refuses to step down in violation of a clear constitutioinal amendment on term limits, then at least the treachery and treason will be out in the open. If that happens then they are asking for civil war and will likely get it. If that’s the case, then at least the inevitable will come about because our side pushed the issue and forced the traitors to make an open break rather than sitting by passively.

As far as Congress trying to stop the Article V convention from even getting off the ground. Same thing. Their role in the process is very limited. If they tried to interfere, we would have a black and white instance of defiance on their part, at which point that will be as good a time as any for the battle lines to be drawn.

There have been hundreds of applications from the states for an Article V convention. I doubt that a few more will move Rome-on-the-Potomac to actually call a convention as per Article V.

As expressed in our Declaration, we have the God given right to frame our government when we please. IMO the states should convene now without the call from congress.

The Supreme Court today just ruled, that just because an article says something it doesn’t really mean they have to follow it.

I guess you can have your convention if you want too - but get ready for piles of lawsuits that will be run through the corrupt court system, entrenched bureaucrats and politicians who don’t like you or what you’re doing and all kinds of new laws stymieing your efforts.

The problem is the system is corrupt from top to bottom.
You can’t use the corrupt system to fix itself.
