Split decision by SCOTUS on Bunkerboy's taxes.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Because you’ll never, EVER get such an amendment.

In order for an amendment to be added to the Constitution, 2/3 of both houses of Congress (which is absolutely teeming with people who want to be president) have to agree on the wording of the amendment.

Then - in the unlikely event that the above actually happens - you have get the legislatures of three-fourths of the states (and a whole lot of state legislators also have presidential ambitions) to approve it. This can, and generally does take years and years to accomplish. THAT’S why it’s a stupid idea, and why it differs from a state or federal law.

If I thought that it would do any good, and if I could pay you enough money, you could come to the US and teach some of these dumbass chump supporters about the law and the Constitution. But, given that I've seen those dorks wearing shirts stenciled with "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat", I think that there would be a waste all around.

Very kind of you to say, but I think I'll pass. 'You can lead a boor to knowledge, but you can't make him think', as the saying goes.

Brian probably doesn't realize it, but he's doing me a great service.  Whenever he says something suspect, it makes me trot on over to Wikipedia to look things up. I learn stuff I probably wouldn't have done otherwise.
