I enjoyed your observation about the written and unwritten Constitution(s). We really are living with just a thin framework of our founding document. My proposal is to scrape away ALL the rot and corruption that makes up the unwritten Constitution, leaving only the rock solid framework. We can replace what laws and regulations that are "Necessary and Proper" after the dust settles.
I fully support an Article V Amendment Convention but I'm now having doubts that this will be enough, unless a new Convention is held every month. I can think of dozens of Amendment proposals off the top of my head, from repeal of the 17th to imposing term limits to a balanced-budget provision to clarifying the "anchor baby" clause of the 14th.
Drastic times are coming and everybody knows it. I swore an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and that oath had no expiration date. But I will support the written Constitution much more happily if the unwritten one is burned away.
No disrespect meant to you, FRiend, just an honest disagreement.
Still, the practical law that we live under is what one man, the prez says it is. Five lawyers will continue to amend the constitution as well as attempt to amend Natural Law as their social justice whims dictate.
Anyway, as for a regular convention, I posted some thoughts here.
