Article V opponents argue that society is too corrupt to trust to a Convention of States.

I think it's more like our bureaucracy is corrupt. Many political appointees end up embedded bureaucrats. Senators and Congressmen are easily bought and paid for. Where do you think the pool of Article V representatives are going to come from?

Article V convention is no good unless the topics and issues are strictly limited to an agreed upon amendment or group of amendments, new and additional amendments. Otherwise the whole shebang gets hijacked by big monied interests and our favorite, the globalists.

Say what you may, I will never support an Article V convention open to any issue anybody wants to bring up. It has to be limited and the limitations set so that each state has to adhere and be bound by it.

I still can not get my head around the idea of adding MORE verbiage to the Const. when the clear English of the existing is so abused, neglected and omitted; or that simple CLAUSES have been used to usurp and turn Federalism on its head.
