Convention of States is the only constitutional solution? When they don't follow the constitution in the first place how is that going to work?

Not to rehash all the arguments pro and con on a con-con, but there is indeed another constitutional solution not mentioned here. Nullification.

He does give one hope.
So far, the current government has trashed the Constitution. What's to keep it from doing the same with the now government, whoever they are? I don't know if there's a strait jacket big enough to fit the Hulk. Which is what the government has become.

The US Constitution was written to protect citizens against an oppressive gov't. Period. I think the provision for Convention of States is great! I hope the young people of this country take the bull by the horns and use this to save our country and dissolve the Federal Gov't.

Remember the key feature of an Article Five Convention: new faces. New voices. The new boss will definitely not be anything like the old boss. That's how this will work.

I am worried about such a convention because the people largely have less understanding of freedom and of the proper role of government than they ever in our country's history. I don't see it is going to be easy to get through that to more freedom supporting results.

The idea of some sort of Constitional convention is a bad idea because it opens the genie in the bottle with no way to it back. As to who represnts the States is another problem. The idea was originally the the House represented the People, the Senate the various States. Progressivism subtley got an amendment passed to strip the States of their power.

Since everyone here seems to think that a Constitutional Convention would not solve the problems with the government and Congress the only thing left is the following: "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."
We will have to go back to Thomas Jefferson Statement and that the apathetic American citizen will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into a armed revolution.
