Article V lets the entire Constitution be rewritten.

This is simply false. No matter how many times you state it, it will still be false.

Again, delegates are NOT entrusted nor commissioned to just show up and vote on "something." They are empowered to present to the convention the specific amendments proposed by the state legislatures. The state legislatures DO NOT just hand them a commission to "hey guys, just vote on something you think we will like."

Even if they DID try something like that, 3/4 of the states would have to approve it. I think your fears have outstripped your researching prowess here.

Again, have you ever read anything at all by Michael Farris? He does a great job of dissecting and refuting this kind of paranoia. He is a sparkplug for this, and is one of the most solid constitutional lawyers out there today.

Okay. I went and reread the Constitution on this. I see that is to provide amendments to the original document (as indeed all amendments do).

So, perhaps I am being hasty in my judgment.

Over the past several years, and my long life, I have become very suspicious of politician’s panaceas to problems...

As I said, conservatives tend to conserve rather than change.

Still, my warning! The power of the Deep State/DNCMedia/Communism/Leftists is very, very strong. They are led by a Dark Lord who hates God and His Creation. Good will prevail, but Evil has to almost triumph before this occurs... I read about it in the Holy Book.
