"Now some may think ... “but Congress can amend the Constitution”. Think about this. Will the present makeup of Congress amend anything to express the Will of the People? The answer is absolutely not, they won’t even get it into a committee."

Note that either the states or Congress can propose an amendment to the Constitution to the states. But only the states can ratify a proposed amendment. So Congress cannot amend the Constitution without state approval.

You are correct and thanks for reminding people of basic constitutional provisions.

But people will agree overwhelmingly that Congress will never propose an amendment to give power back to the States.
