What part of 3/4s of all states must still ratify any amendments do you not understand? The left can't just re-write the bill of rights.

In effect, Supreme Court has been doing that for decades. Do we have Freedom of Association anymore?

Do you understand what 3/4 means? It means that nothing will come out of Levin’s proposals, assuming they get to that stage, which they won’t.

What part of “opportunity costs” DO you understand? BTW, “the left can’t just rewrite the Bill of Rights”? They have been doing it for decades through the courts - flatly rewriting it so that phrases such as “no” and “shall not” have no real meaning. The courts do that with everything, and nothing Levin proposes will change that. Even if Levin’s fantasy were enacted, it would suffer the same fate. There is no fix by rewriting parts of the Constitution, and Levin’s proposals, most of which I like, won’t happen anyway.
