“It is time to repeal the First Amendment protections afforded the press. “

It’s in the Constitution. You can’t repeal it.

Well, technically, you can...but only with an amendment.

Not easy to get: Congressional resolution, then 3/4 of the states to ratify it.

I did not mean me, as in I was going to do it all by myself.

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
