‘When?’

Every time we amended the Constitution.

“‘When?’

Every time we amended the Constitution.”

Great so we do something 27 times over the course of the last 222+ years, 10 of which were done in the first few years, as part of the initial compromise. 1 of which (the 27th) was part of the original 12 proposed as part of the same compromise and took 200 years to get the necessary 2/3rds.

You must be nuts if you think this is even remotely comparable to the rate at which congress can pass laws to get around our rejection. Indeed they could easily pass 20 abusive laws in the time it would take us to get 34(2/3rds) state legislators to act to repeal just 1.
