“You would have to change 20 to 25 votes in the Senate,” says Dr. O'Steen [of NRLC]. “You’d have to replace 20 to 25 senators to pass an amendment even there. It takes two-thirds of both houses of Congress [and] three-fourths of the states to ratify [an amendment to the Constitution], so it’s not practical to think that there would be a human life amendment passing Congress during the next presidential term — and of course, the president doesn’t have a vote.”
There is no chance to pass it, so I wouldn’t vote against an otherwise good conservative simply for not supporting it.
On the other hand, if only a few dozen representatives supported building a wall, that wouldn’t justify pushing a president who opposed building the wall. Given the clarifications, I don’t really know WHAT Fred’s current position is on this HLA issue, so I don’t mean to suggest he opposes it.
