Don't worry. It'll never make it into the Constitution. Somehow the election will get all screwed up, and they'll simply forget about it.

Seriously - the Pig Amendment is positively rediculous.

But, then again, when I lived in Louisiana, I found out the state Constitution required that automobile license plate fees be fixed at $3/year. The Amendment was put in place in the 30s, and at least in 1985 was still there.
