An Article V convention is the fast way to neuter the Constitution. Conservatives have done so well managing to get good people into Congress, they would get just the right people into the Article V convention?
The Constitution came out of a similar convention to "fix" the Articles of Confederation, but we had extraordinary men then. We don't have them now, we would end up without a Constitution, without a Bill of Rights, no 2A protection, no 1A protection for either speech or religion, and we would have something about 900 pages long that only lawyers could understand, instead of a 6 page document that every school child can understand.
An Article V convention is the "easy" way, and we conservatives have been trying for the easy way for at least four generations.
The only way this gets fixed is by hard work and dedication for decades. The problem is not what's not in the Constitution, it's what is or is not in the hearts of the people. Change the hearts of the people and you will change the culture and then it will be easy to get the needed changes in the Constitution.
There is only way way to change the hearts of people, and that is at the cross.
