    Stop hand wringing in here. It’s fucking stupid, and a PR play. You need 38 states for a constitutional amendment, and that isn’t happening however you slice it.

      We have witnessed, already, the breakdown of democratic society and the rule of law in this country. You need to stop looking at everything through that paradigm because they are just gonna steamroll straight through that shit. They already have.

      Just shoot however many states are missing govenors in the head, as the SC has ruled the president can order anything illegal. Repeat until passed.

      The US has rotten so much on the inside over the past decades, that this decline of the nation is inevitable. Question is only, if people will let the fascists control the decline until the country lies in rubbles, or if people will fight to create a new nation.

      It wouldn’t even get that far. You need either two thirds of both House and Senate or for two thirds of the states to call for a constitutional convention just to propose an amendment.
