Mr. Cuban, do you know the enormous difficulties in getting an Amendment to the US Constitution passed? Not only does the original Amendment need to pass a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress, but you need 38 state legislatures to pass it, too. That’s why the attempt to pass the Equal Rights Amendment died—they couldn’t get 38 states to pass it.

Exactly. I remember that battle.

I can remember my father, who was a lawyer, telling me that if that Amendment passed it would mean that boys could use girls bathrooms. LOL!

The left got it done anyway.

But yes the founders made it difficult to pass an amendment on purpose. The Constitution should not be trifled with lightly.
