I get it, but there is still a very long way to go. Currently we need 34 states to call a Convention, thus far only 19 have done so. While it's being discussed in more than enough states, it still needs to pass into law. Each year the debt continues to grow so fast should be that much more impetus for enough of the remaining states to join in, but we're still likely looking at another decade (at least) before we get there.

No doubt a long way to go. I think the effort could gain momentum if some new converts to understanding how fricked we really are started throwing their weight behind it.

Another thing to think about is that a COS is limited by only what the delegates want to pass. We want to think it would be common-sense things like "the definition of 'a natural-born citizen' is defined as any person born of at least one parent who was an American citizen at the time of their birth". While that could (and really should) happen, we could also get something like "elected federal officials receive immunity for any traffic laws broken during their time in office."

Well, who cares if some weird shite is turned out of the convention? I don't think that would happen but even if it did, it wouldn't matter until 38 state legislature's vote to approve the whacko proposed amendment. I think the bigger risk would be about getting something with teeth that addresses the size, scope, power and funding of fedgov versus some watered down mess that solves problems on paper only.
