Choice D is a good one, and would have worked out just fine 100 years ago.

But unfortunately, today states are basically provinces of the Federal Government. So a federal judge would probably strike that state amendment down.

It’s a disgrace that nobody in DC - including the Supreme Court - pays attention to the 10th Amendment any more. And it is, of course, as vital as any of the other amendments.

Agreed. That’s why I said “State Constitutional Ammendment”. So, any group wanting to strike such an ammendment down MIGHT succeed but doubtful. Below is a Google article on the subject.

No. By definition, constitutional amendments change the Constitution and the Court can not invalidate them. Nor can the president veto them. The amendment process is solely the province of the legislative branches of Congress and the states.May 3, 2023
