If he can get this passed it is about time to start making politicians into corpses. Neckties, anyone?

The measure may, just possibly, get a majority vote in the Senate. It will certainly not get the 2/3 necessary to pass.

In the utterly unlikely event the Senate did pass it by 2/3, it more certainly would not pass the House.

And if it did pass the House, it probably again could not get even a majority of states to ratify, much less 3/4.

I fail to see why conservatives obsess about this transparently phony effort. It won’t pass, they know it won’t pass, so they’re just going through the motions for political reasons.

I think Reid should be applauded for attempting to amend the Constitution using the proper provisions. It is most certainly better than ignoring the Constitution or “amending” it by judicial fiat.
