Do you seriously believe there is any point to trying to pass an amendment when winning a simple majority election is seriously in doubt?

So what's your point, Sherman? "Lie down and die"?

Or is it, "roll over, you might learn to enjoy sodomy"?

You've been on the wrong side of this issue an awful lot. Is there something you want to tell us?

Yes. It's very simple.

If you can't win a simple majority election, you most certainly cannot get a constitutional amendment through.

That's it.

Now if you can put together a consistent, preferably 2/3, majority in Congress for your position for several elections in a row, and elect sizeable conservative majorities in 3/4 of the state legislatures, then it might make sense to talk about an amendment.

Otherwise, it's like somebody who can't run a mile without collapsing talking about the marathon they're going to run next week.

Might be an entertaining fantasy, and I hope you enjoy it, but it has no basis in reality.
