At the end of the 18th century, that means that 4 of the 13 states representing less than 10 percent of total U.S population could forbid any change sought by the rest. Today, 13 of the nation’s 50 states can disallow constitutional changes while containing just more than 4 percent of the nation’s population.

And yet here we are with 27 amendments to the constitution.

His objection would be a moot point if the left “allowed” states to opt out and not be oppressed by their stupid, destructive, and borderline genocidal ideas.

IE, go ahead and implement your grand schemes in the states that “want” them. We’ll sit over here and point and laugh when they are exposed as the failures they inevitably will be.
