    A constitutional amendment required 2/3s House and Senate AND 3/4 of states. And they don’t have that. This is more bullshit to distract.

    To amend the U.S. Constitution, a proposed amendment must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures (38 out of 50 states). Alternatively, an amendment can be proposed by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures, but this method has never been used.

      This is saying it louder for the people in the back. Musk’s Nazi Salute isn’t getting the message across? Okay, how about this?

        They so desperatly want a hidden militia to come out of the woodwork and coup the country for them

        Those people are either dead from covid, too old to fight for their coup, or are just LARPers and actually aren’t interested in dying for a con man.

          The ones Trump let out of prison were willing to do violence, including killing police officers. They’re a credible threat.

      Ok. How many votes do they need to change the rule governing how many votes a constitutional amendment requires?

        That would also be an amendment to the Constitution.

        The last amendment that passed took over 200 years to get through the process.

          True, but that’s mainly because they forgot about it.

        the same amount,

        The United States Constitution Article V:

        The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

          Depends on the crime. One would think the Second Amendment might cover some crimes.

          I mean, kind of. People only follow laws because they believe that the laws will shield them when it is their turn. Otherwise it’s just ‘those with power do what they want.’

          When regular people stop believing in the law, you get Luigis.
