Makes sense this would come from California, for several reasons.

Doesn't a Constitutional Amendment require a two-thirds vote of the States to become law?

I wonder if the Left will try the same sorts of stunts they tried to get the ERA into the Constitution this time. I expect they'll try them, and a lot more, including federal prosecutions against — and removal of — governors that don't go along.

An amendment must be ratified by 3/4 of the states.

No.

3/4. 38 states must ratify.

Requires 3/4ths of the states to ratify. That’s 38 states. Forget it.

Great point. It seems as if there is no chance of this amendment passing.

Simply lock up anyone who refuses to vote for it? Makes sense.

IIRC, it ALSO requires at least 3/4ths of states legislatures to affirm it. It will never pass.
