I’m not divining the motivations of the people, I’m pointing out historical truths. Approximately 11,539 proposals to amend the Constitution have been introduced in Congress since 1789, 27 have passed. No divining there, simple historical truths.

B.S. again!

You just accused me of "Studiously ignoring" the fact that the last Amendment was originally proposed at some previous date. I did nothing of the kind.

Furthermore, now you are redefining the terms of the debate because your original "opinion" that Amendments don't pass, has been disproved.

You're not a very honest poster are you?!

That’s not BS. That’s the truth.

As of December 16th 2014 the number is 11,623. Given that they average 100 year and we’re already half way through this one, figure it’s closer to 11,670. The fact that the ONLY amendment to pass in the last 40 years had been sitting around for 200 is also a fact, and important to understand.

I’m 100% honest. You just find the facts inconvenient.
