Those precedents are the worst form of judicial bullshit. “It only seems to say that if you are pedestrian enough to have the immature perspective that the clause was meant to b taken literally.”
As for Congressional approval, yes they said they will seek it. Good for them, cause it’s a Constitutional requirement. No matter what any stupid justices say.
Whether Congress would approve of it is another, interesting question. I can’t see the small-state Senators being so stupid as to do so.
In that the entirety of your argument?
