RE Fantasy talk? In your first sentence you say that such an amendment will be ratified and then you reverse yourself. The idea that there will never be another amendment to the Constitution is the real fantasy talk. I think that it will depend on what kind of public support such an amendment would get.

No, that amendement wont even get through a congress let alone the states. The idea is DOA..

If congress wont even pass it as a law how can it possibly be a successful amendment?

LOL. Now you are getting silly. If Congress doesn't pass a law, there is no way it can be challenged in the courts. Again, reread what I sent to you. I said a Constitutional amendment was the last resort if SCOTUS upheld a challenge to a law passed by Congress.

How redistricting could keep the House red for a decade
