Article V was given to us by the Founders as a means of recourse. I get that. Problem is, when they did so, there was no uniparty, and no backroom 'negotiations' between the alleged opposing sides in the alleged name of 'bipartisanship'. You obviously have not read much on the writing of the Constitution. There were a LOT of "backroom deals" struck to get the Constitution passed.

I have two exceptional books on how the Constitution was written and passed by the 1787 Convention.
- Decision in Philadelphia by Christopher Collier & James Lincoln Collier
- The Summer of 1787 by David Stewart
Both books are indispensable for understanding what happened and how.

There were a LOT of "backroom deals" struck to get the Constitution passed. To an extent, sure. But you're telling me they will be akin to the backroom deals made by the uniparty today? Can you promise me that those sent to represent the 'right' side of the issues won't cave?
