In this political climate, where there is no Republican will to take on ANY difficult issues ... this will not happen.

Of course not. It’s 17x more difficult to pass a constitutional amendment than to win the presidency or a super-majority in Congress.

Why people think an amendment is the solution to problems created by losing elections is a great mystery.

Amendment ONLY pass when there is broad national and regional consensus in their favor.

Yep, will never happen. I don’t think we could have even gotten an amendment passed 10-15 years ago, when we had a larger majority on our side, simply because not enough states would ratify it.
