While I sympathize with Grammer’s feelings on the issue, I still think that the amendment route is the wrong way to go about this or any other issue.

Amendments are attempts to skip around the legislative branch and government. It’s trying to skip around the elected officials whose job it is to represent their voters and the voters issues, and amendments are a form of direct democracy, and as we all know, direct democracy is not a winning format for governing.

If amendments and direct democracy are how the people wish to govern, then, let’s get rid of representative government.

We pretty much did that when they allowed lobbyi$t$ into the halls of government.

Based on what you wrote, I presume that you oppose the 19th Amendment.
