Article V will only work as far as our leaders allow it to work. Our constitution is fine, it just needs to be defended.

You wrote: " Our constitution is fine, it just needs to be defended."

That's what every liberal lawyer and activist judge says! You are playing right into their hands.

The Constitution is beautifully written but it's the vague and often ambiguous language of the Founders that liberal jurists twist and contort in their tortured interpretations to create new powers and broader jurisdiction for the federal government that the Framers never intended, the very same language that an Article V amendment convention can clarify.

And your statement that "Article V will only work as far as our leaders allow it to work" is nonsense. It's legal, it's peaceful, and it's a forum for debate. It can do nothing more than PROPOSE amendments, then it adjourns and every delegate returns to their lives.

Only after that will it then up to the 50 state legislatures to determine whether or not any of those proposals will ever become the Law of the Land.

"Our leaders," whoever those boogeymen may be, will have virtually nothing to say about it.

how do you defend the constitution when the judiciary took away taxpayer standing? you have no means of redress and as we have now learned, no representation.
