Article V is a great way to make the changes that we need. However, because there are a lot and different issues are important to different people (and states), which ones get priority? You'll have a limited amount of time to make a big impact so it's important to ensure that the right issues are addressed. I think the following could be on the agenda and these are not in any order of priority.
- Clarifying language in the Second Amendment
- Congressional term limits
- Balanced budget
- Possible update to the Fourth Amendment
-
In theory, it could work.
In practice, I believe we would come up with a solution equal in quality to our current Presidential candidates.
I think the best thin we could do now is pass some sort of resolution reaffirming our commitment to the Constitution, as it stands.

In terms of clarification, the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause need to be clarified back to their original meaning, then 90% of what FedGov does devolves to the states.

In terms of reality, you'll need some way to get judges to uphold the rule of law. If you fix these, they're going to figure out another Clintonian way to inject their personal preference into the law.

Why do you think that?

That's like passing a law or executive order to enforce existing laws. I doubt that would have any effect other than being symbolic.

Would you be in favor of "unincorporating" the Constitution?
