I'm not sure what you are referring to. Article V includes this text:
"...Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article;"
However, the 1st and 4th clauses of Sec. 9, Article 1 deal with the importation of slaves, not a CoS. Therefore, I stand by my original reply.
Okay....you guys can plug all sorts of meaning and explanation and extrapolation of what can or can’t happen into those 143 words, but I have a great deal of trouble in accepting the volumes and volumes of assurances, hypothesizing and even supposing that I’ve seen come out of “the movement.” And when someone does question, he/she is told to “educate yourself” [by those same volumes and volumes above].
Good luck to you guys. More power to you, but I am not going to be on board that train lock, stock and barrel.
