Since 2/3 of the states would have to radify it after 2/3 of the senate.....it isn't going to happen. (someone correct me if these numbers are wrong).

It's 3/4'ths not 2/3'rds of the states needed for ratification. It is 2/3'rds of both the House and the Senate which are necessary to propose an amendment. I really doubt the senators from the smallest 1/3 or even 1/2 of the states would vote for such a proposal.

Thanks for clearing up those numbers for ratification of the proposed amendment.

I agree with you....doubtless this could ever pass.

The liberals use the argument to get their constituency all fired up.
