“‘what would happen when the majority of those states turn liberal/Democrat ? what then ?’
If a 2/3 majority of all the states became liberal/Democrat the choices would be either emigration, suicide, or civil war. When you remember that the liberal states tend to be larger, this would mean more than 3/4 of the people becoming liberal/Democrat.”
If they had only the power to veto acts of congress then the effect would be negligible. Democrats would be capable of advocating for smaller government. lol
Seriously I can’t restate it enough, 2/3rd majority is insanely high! If you could get 2/3rd to of the state legislators to act on anything then they could just as easily call a constitutional convention and hold everyone there until 4 more state delegations swing over to a compromise with them.
This is a token jester at best. Reduce the majority to 1/3 or less and you have a realistic chance of the amendment making a difference.
State legislators do not act like people, indeed a great many of them only meet for a short time once every 2 years.
the entire problem is the perverse stretch of the Interstate Commerce Clause ( the pandoras box of socialism )
The idea of letting a 1/3 minority of the states having the power to shut down the federal government is laughable and would be impossible to enact. Two thirds of the states can’t amend the Constitution, they can only call for amendments. It takes three-fourths of the states to amend the constitution, and yet this ‘insanely high’ majority has been obtained dozens of times. The call for a constitutional convention has never passed not because it takes two-thirds of the states, but because people fear a runaway convention repealing the entire constitution.
