I've conducted some research in this regard, and I consider this possibility of this occurring to be around 5%.

Hmm. I didn't expect Nebraska to want to amend the Constitution but "In the resolution, the Nebraska Legislature, like other states, proposes amendments that will "impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress."" Now I see why they want to. And also not surprised this: "Opponents of the resolution in the Nebraska Legislature argued there would be no way to impose limits on the convention, according to the Omaha World-Herald. They also said there is nothing that details how the convention would be structured, such as if every state would have one vote or if votes would be proportional to population."
That there's literally no structure to the convention. Definitely not surprising.

Interesting. It good to have 2 back ups when elected officials stop performing their duties and thumb their nose at the courts when they try to enforce the laws, or for the times the SCOTUS fail to uphold our laws as written by Congress.
