It doesn't work that way. They have to declare what issues they are going to talk about, and pass them locally the way they would pass laws. And every change requires 2/3 of the states to ratify.
Very few issues are on the table. They can't just show up and say "hey, wouldn't it be a good idea if?"
And that's exactly what happened last time. The only convention of the states ever to occur in the United States was a runaway convention that replaced the Articles of Confederation with the US Constitution.
Imagine what kind of psychotic globalist totalitarian document 3/4 of states would replace the Constitution with today. Actually, scratch that: Imagine what kind of psychotic globalist totalitarian document they'd write, which included its own "51%" ratification criteria. "Oh, but the Constitution says they can't do that!" The Articles said they couldn't do what they did either.
The risk of a Constitutional Convention is unlimited, and we only have a loose hold over half of the states, whereas the enemy has an ironclad grip on the other half and major influence in our half.
