The Freepers that are against an Art 5 CoS have a bad case of “normalcy bias”.
I prefer to look at it as a burst of common sense, really. There are many, many other ways of doing this, but the fact is, Article V supporters don't feel it necessary to live up to the responsibilities we have as Americans. They would rather FedGov take the responsibility.
The best part is, I keep hearing this nonsense that somehow, we're going to get amendments passed that can't be ignored. Well, after today's obolacare ruling by SCOTUS, it's painfully clear SCOTUS will ALWAYS rule in favor of the feds, even when the law is completely clear and there is no chance of mistaking what it says, yet here we are.
Article V is certainly a tool given us by the Founders, but it opens the door to more. Be careful what you wish for, and if you think passing new amendments are going to fix anything, keep in mind the FedGov is going to do what they want, when they want, despite law, and SCOTUS WILL back them up on it.
