Well, it is an alternative and even more radical action now in the Constitution. The same number could compel the calling of a convention of the states to consider an amendment.

This is one of those things for which merely the “threat” and the fear of it actually happening may be important.

Since the rise of the administrative-judicial state, amendments have become unworkable - they can regulate and issue decisions much faster than we can ratify amendments.

I like the Repeal Amendment (perhaps it should be 3/4 instead of 2/3), and I think we need another amendment to allow states to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
