The reason the Founders put the provision for the states to amend the Constitution there in the first place was to give states recourse if the Federal beast became too corrupt.Those will not see the light of day. Too much power in D.C. to let that happen as things are now. Lifetime politicians and unelected government people are formidable with many backed by lobbyists and elites. And an endless fiat currency capable of printing what they need until it collapses. The ideas are sound and good. We once were that.

Nebraska Becomes 17th State To Call For Article V Convention Of States
The Nebraska legislature passed a resolution on Friday calling for an Article V convention of states, making it the 17th state to do so.thefederalist.com
We are half way there! For the first time in US history, states may soon amend the Constitution!!
What amendments do you favor?
As for myself, both these amendments would have close to 80% approval rating among Americans.
1. Term limits for those in Congress
2. A balanced budget of some sort.
I think that is where you start.
You have the wrong idea. A COS would not be "open" to the Washington swamp. It would be totally under the control of the individual States. All amendments coming from a COS would still need independent approval by 38 of the States.I don't know if I want to open the constitution though. Look at the whack jobs that are in power now and you want to open our founding document up to them. It could go either way.
The Constitution worked reasonably well for about 150 years. Of course our Founding fathers could not anticipate the challenges of the 20th century. We have a pretty good idea of how the Constitution was attacked and now we need to learn from history and amend it to meet these challenges.Why would anyone think amending anything would be any different, nothing changes if the fed is left intact, if the states ever get to an Article V convention, the very first thing done should be the immediate dissolution of the US federal government!
Very libertarian. But not politically practical.A Federal government, abhorrent as it is, is necessary in some limited fashion. I would simply restrict it's power to overseeing the national defense and not much more.
The point I think you are failing to realize is that those swamp critters come from the individual states and at the present time the balance of power favors the liberal/progressive/commie factions.

Amendments to the constitution do not need to open the entire document. The constitution has been amended numerous times, twenty-seven to be exact. The latest successful amendment dealt with when congressional pay raises take effect. There have been thirty-three attempts to amend the constitution.The Constitution worked reasonably well for about 150 years.

Unless you are referring to Congressmen and women, the Swamp are those individuals comprising the Federal Bureaucracy and residing mostly in DC and surrounding States, and to a large degree are graduates of liberal, eastern Ivy League universities.The point I think you are failing to realize is that those swamp critters come from the individual states and at the present time the balance of power favors the liberal/progressive/commie factions.

Of course I am talking about congress--they control purse strings and legislation and currently the majority party of both houses and the presidency favors the democrats. As far as the bureaucracy goes--the democrats control that too. Look at Biden's appointments to key positions.

The balance of power as measured by the number of red and purple States is currently favoring Conservatives.
A COS bypasses Congress, the Bureaucracy and the Swamp. Republicans will regain control of both the House and the Senate in 2022 and will regain POTUS in 2024. But this political change will be no more effective in effecting change than was Reagan and his Republican Congress. A COS is the only path forward with any chance of turning back the leftward tide.Of course I am talking about congress--they control purse strings and legislation and currently the majority party of both houses and the presidency favors the democrats.

Do you actually believe that the congress exists in a vacuum and just appears. They come from the states. Who do you think put them there.A COS bypasses Congress,
No and of course Conservative voters put them there. But the Republican Party is slowly undergoing a change and old guard Republicans are slowly being replaced by "tea party patriots".Do you actually believe that the congress exists in a vacuum and just appears.

Yep. We need to Amend the Constitution to put the US back on the right-track.A COS bypasses Congress, the Bureaucracy and the Swamp. Republicans will regain control of both the House and the Senate in 2022 and will regain POTUS in 2024. But this political change will be no more effective in effecting change than was Reagan and his Republican Congress. A COS is the only path forward with any chance of turning back the leftward tide.
Yes. Next question?
