WTF?
All I said was that these amendments would be ratified today in a nanosecond, and you agreed that that is so.
Does that make YOU a "fervent defender" of the overthrow of the Old Republic?
Why, er, um...no. But the bluntness of your post led me to believe that you were.
If you're merely pointing out the practical difficulties of doing it, well, I agree. But as I said before, just bringing up the subject could lead to a breakthrough. There are a number of possibilities, but until they're discussed, it's not even going to have a chance to happen.
