Leave it alone. Our side can’t stop anything that the swamp is doing right now. This silly convention talk makes the left extremely happy as they control all voting and systems. The outcomes always benefit the statist it seems.
Our side can’t stop anything that the swamp is doing right now.

In too many instances “our side” doesn’t really want to stop what the Swamp is doing. Our side is often not on our side. Just sayin.
This is an erroneous comparison, for congress is popularly derived and thoroughly corrupted from its designed purposes. An Article V convention will be new, fresh, uncorrupted and federal, just like the only other remaining federal institution from 1787, the familiar Electoral College (EC).
Like an Article V amendments convention, the EC is extra-congressional and completely controlled by the states. Not only congress, but the executive and judiciary have no more authority to regulate or participate in the deliberations or parliamentary rules of an Article V Convention than they do to control the EC. Both of these federal institutions derive their independence from discrete sources in the Constitution itself. Like the EC, and unlike congress, an Article V convention is temporary, and neither can be made subservient to any branch of the government. This renders the Article V convention distinct from, and superior to, the three existing branches.
