BTW. Since many libs think it's a waste of time to try this, then why are they worried about it all. It would take 75% of the states to pass an Amendment. So it's a very tough deal.
So why the negatives on it. If it fails it fails. Yet if it passes, would you be screaming bloody murder even if 75% of the states approved it.
Isn't this country about the WILL OF THE PEOPLE?
If one passes by that margin, then wouldn't that be what this country is supposed to be about?
No, its about the rule of law.
The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy; its citizens are subject to the rule of law, not men as men are incapable of ruling justly.
What you advocate is the elimination of the rule of law and the imposition of the tyranny of the majority simply because conservatives arent getting their way in the courts.
Thats not justification for abandoning the rule of law.
Take this reckless nonsense, for example:
3/5ths of States or Congress can override SCOTUS decisions
Why bother to amend the Constitution with such a change, just throw the Constitution and its case law in the trash, dispense with the Republic, and subject our civil liberties to the capricious fears and prejudices of the majority.
