There is no provision in the constitution for voiding an amendment. The only thing you can do is pass another amendment to repeal or modify it.

They say that politics is the art of the possible so with 66% of retired Americans depending on social security for at least half or more of their retirement it would be political suicide to try and get rid of social security. Since we just got control of the federal government I would hate for us to lose it because of this.

I want to see a wall built, Muslim immigration stopped, and jobs come back to America. I don’t want to piss away the chance to accomplish these goals to fight a battle we cannot win.

Prohibition was passed, and voided, by A. The 16th *may* have allowed taxation w/out app., but other Rights specified are still in effect (4th, 5th, A1S8, etc.)...

Well, shame on the 66% believing in fairy tales of govt promises. Being older and, hopefully, better educated, they had many a year to realize the fallacy of those from elected lips.

Personally, I don’t care re: ‘parties’ and this supposed ‘political suicide’. How many MORE votes would one get from the younger generation by returning THEIR *FREEDOM*??

The only thing the GOP\(R)NC *have* done is routinely pissed away ever chance the (C) have given ‘em. Just look at the 1st thing they tried to push out of the gate. THAT was the ‘most important’ thing to begin championing??

Anyone thinks looking to GOVT to cure the ills of GOVT is a fool.
