To: Amendment10
Otherwise, am I still overlooking something?

The Wall Street Journal lays it all out quite clearly here:

Rewriting the First Amendment
Chuck Schumer thinks he can improve on James Madison

So I still like my election year theories.

And what would those be? If they could, these turds would gladly make political speech subject to the administrative state. Because, after all, non-experts such as Amendment10 shouldn't be talking incorrectly!

Of course, they won't succeed, the hurdles to passing an amendment being too high, but they'll try anyway, because it stirs up the base.

"Because, after all, non-experts such as Amendment10 shouldn't be talking incorrectly!"

Here's my Supreme Court-issued "license" to interpret the Constitution.

“3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.
