I thought this was nothing new. Besides, IIRC, an amendment would have to be ratified by 2/3rds of the states before it could take effect. I think the last attempt was the Equal Rights Amendment and it didn’t fly too well.

3/4’s of the states, not 2/3’s.

...an amendment would have to be ratified by 2/3rds of the states before it could take effect Would that apply to a repeal also?
