ILLINOIS GOP - It's time for MARK KIRK to go! Pray for a bold, principled candidate to take his place in 2016.

According to the Idaho case in federal court that killed the ERA in 1982, the only way a ratification window can be changed is to re-introduce the amendment in Congress and get two thirds of each House to approve it.
The method used in 1979 to change the ratification window via majority vote of each House and the signature of the president was ruled a violation of Article V and thus unconstitutional.
Also, the votes aren't there in Congress. It will die in committee.

It's time for MARK KIRK to go!Well, OK. Should we send Roland Burris back?

No conservatives held their nose for Kirk. He won because the IL Rats knew it would be a waste of time and money campaigning against him.

He’s up for re-election. Kirk will be running against Tammy Duckwork (D) for his Senate seat.

Can one of the noseholders explain to me how a Democrat in an R jersey is better for us than a real Democrat?

I’d rather have Duckworth than Kirk. The IL GOP is worse than useless.
