House are on a search-and-destroy mission. They are now seeking out every opportunity to introduce to defund or harm + no matter how far afield their measures are from the bills being discussed.

How ideological foes united on ideas for amending the Constitution

It began when we convened three teams of well-known law professors — conservative, libertarian and progressive — to draft new constitutions
And after a week of dialogue, deliberation and compromise, the ideologically diverse delegates agreed on proposals for five pathbreaking amendments:

@RayEau @bigheadtales @thejenniwren @prodygy @marcelias @democracydocket @DavidPepper nope (not a faux pas) just a ridiculous very OLD OUTDATED constitutional amendment. There have been more proposals for on changing the than on any other subject. The American Bar Association polling showed 81 percent of American’s polled favored abolishing it in 1987.

Speaking of the toot thread: a qualm I have with Blight’s analysis is his invocation of an 1868 fundamentally different from the 1789 one. Unfortunately, I don’t think even Eric Foner’s excellent The Second Founding manages to make a convincing case that the US political and legal tradition irrevocably changed with . Indeed, Blight shows that today’s debacle seems to stem from the fact that those did not exorcize the Constitution from its original flaws.

@democracydocket Seeing as many state constitutional amendments are brought in and supported by outside interest groups, I don't see what the issue is for raising the bar. While living in Colorado, an amendment was passed to make it more difficult for groups to put amendments on the ballot. Too often, I've seen amendments added that rightfully should have been legislative issues. Elect representatives that do their job and amendments become less necessary.
