yes, I agree, and this wasn’t the best blog to post for what I’m trying to get at. I’m interested in looking at the arguments against an Article V convention in order to strengthen my own ability to defend it.
This may be a better example:

Article V does not bypass Congress at all. Amendment 17 bypasses the states, in fact, where the Senate is supposed to be the body that represents them in DC. Nowhere in Amendment V does it say that Congress has the power to deny the applications of two thirds of the states or deny the calling of a convention.
