What I find hard to believe is that this idea is getting some traction. It seems that no one has an understanding of the practical hurdles something like this faces. 3/4 of the states have to ratify any amendment. 3/4!! No one has yet discussed how they’re going to get liberal states who make up at least 1/4 of the states to buy off.
Frankly I’m beginning to wonder if this is a push to get conservatives bogged down in an exercise in futility to keep them from doing something useful that might achieve results.
And a final hurdle is that Congress has to set a hearing on what the states do/come up with. This means the Senate gets in the act and Harry Reid can pigeon hole the whole bundle. There has to be control of both Houses by the same party as I see possibility of a done deal.
Even liberals have a line they won't cross. The trick is to convince them that a tyrannic dictator like Obama won't care that they're liberal when he doesn't need them anymore.
It's a matter of reminding them that when Obama came for the conservatives, they weren't conservative so they did nothing...
