You should have read further. The article clarifies that it would only be the first step to repealing the amendment.

[Congressman Billybob]

I know the article said this was the first step. What I am objecting to is the use of the word "repeal." Congress CAN repeal any law, that Congress passed in the first place. Congress can never repeal any Constitutional provision.

This point is so basic that no writer on national politics should ever get it wrong. And if the writer is to ignorant to get it right, the editor ought to know better. John / Billybob
