I don’t follow this crap closely, but I suspect that some states will vote to RESCIND their support of the amendment before it becomes law...something else for the Supremes to deal with.
And, once again, our future as a country will be decided in the COURTS, something for people here who think sitting out November elections because so-and-so Senator is a ‘RINO’ is somehow helping the country.
Bottom line, NOTHING GOOD comes from sitting out those elections and enabling Democrats to win - it WILL NOT reform the Republican Party (that only happens in primaries) and it certainly will not help the country overall - in fact, if there is another civil war here, it will be due to DEMOCRAT JUDGES who blow off the Constitution.
(and no, civil wars are not fun, even if you have ARs, tons of ammo, and other hardware - read about what it’s really like before fantasizing, there are plenty of accounts out there)
A couple thoughts on that from VIrginia. The Republican voters in my rural district did not sit it out. The polls were crowded the Republican delegate and state senator won easily. But another Republican candidate lost because he was corrupt. Other Repuiblicans and Democrats have been corrupted and Republican rule allowed some Republican corruption to linger. People do not like corruption.
The "swing" counties like Loudoun are no longer swing. They are chock full of brainwashed legal immigrants and libs from other states. Yes, some locals might have sat it out, but not enough to make a difference this time. The partisan hack Democrats were energized in 2018 and this year to a lesser extent. The only thing we have to wait for is the inevitable Democrat corruption and overreach and then they will be thrown out, in some cases by the legal immigrants (e.g. pro-business Koreans).
The Democrats got outside money from the gun grabbers, the globalists and the global warmists. Those groups bought many ads to lie and convince stupid voters. They also correctly pointed out that Republicans voted for private toll lanes with high tolls. None of their ads said the candidates were Democrats. In contrast all the Republican ads announced they were Republican. In a decade or so the Democrats will weaken, but in the mean time they will do lots of damage and probably allow lots of illegals to vote, so it's going to be tough no matter what.
