I am all for fixing our country but I fail to see how amending text on a document that is pretty much ignored by the courts and executive branch is going to change things. YMMV.

Good point.

The only worthwhile amendments are structural, such as those proposed by Mark Levin

Bingo. Failing to follow the current rules won't be fixed by changing the rules - only by changing the people in charge.

And trying to get changes in while the current folks are in charge, will result in getting their changes in, not ours. It doesn't matter what rules you create for this convention, they will be ignored. Some establishment figure will come in with a complete new document and have that forced through - like the Patriot act was ready and waiting for 9/11.

So work to get people in who follow the rules as the first priority.

You’ll always fail if you never try. But I get your point. They’re going to try anyway and participate in the process. Hopefully, those in this country will be courageous enough to fight for the Constitution.
