Martinez is a moron.

The constitution is the supreme law of the land is the only law that cannot be overturned by a simple vote by the voters. That takes a long slow process of a con con and there’s a good reason it’s slow.

If the voters can simply override the constitution we’re a true democracy and can toss that old piece of parchment out right now. Maybe a burning ceremony in DC so we can put it to rest.

A constitutional convention isn't required to amend the Constitution. Nor does amending the Constitution necessarily take a long time.

For example, the Twenty Sixth Amendment, setting the voting age to 18, was proposed on March 23, 1971, ratified July 1, 1971, and certified on July 7, 1971. Less than four months.

Most amendments didn't take but a few years to ratify. Of course there's always the exception to the rule. The Twenty Seventh Amendment was proposed in 1789, but wasn't ratified until 1992, a whopping 203 years later!
