Let me know when you figure out a way to force the federal and state governments to abide by the law and then we can talk about whether the law should be changed. Until then there is no point in rewriting rules for people who believe rules are only made to be broken.
At present we are in effect operating in the same way as if we had never had a written constitution, it is completely ignored so it matters little what the written document actually says.
Amending the constitution in this atmosphere is the equivalent of a parent who keeps saying, “You kids stop that right this minute or I will spank you” but never does.

The STATES have not, in this generation EVER yet said, "Stop"
The states have been overruled and outgunned for so long that they've become little more than provinces for the "national" government, but that could all change if they understood their power.
This convention gives them the "Paddle", so to speak. We haven't seen what they will make of it. All I can say is, I don't think most state legislators really realize the power they could wield to get this country back on track, and if they did, they would jump at the chance. The last time a group of states got really, really crosswise with the federal government in 1860 it started a war. That is how strongly they believed (even if their cause might have been wrong.)
I think some of these states are ready to fight (politically) against the federal leviathan,and if the federal government decides to ignore or step in and try to take over, the motivation will be EXTREMELY high to actively nullify any fed disruption. I think the more we can educate our state legislators, state senators and state governors on this whole process, they more they will like the idea. And if the fed gov or Supreme court tries to overrule it or intervene, then I truly believe, if the state leadership has been educated properly, they will say:
"COME AND TRY TO STOP US!! GAME ON!!"
