The Absurd GOP

[Thumpalumpacus]

There’s a tremendous difference between overturning a prior Supreme Court decision and repealing a Constitutional amendment, especially when Democrats have an overwhelming majority in the Washington legislature.

I mean, these loons aren’t thinking this through. Republicans are in the minority in both houses of the state legislature, and they want to give the legislature the power to elect senators.

Aside from that, they'd need to convince the legislatures of thirty-eight -- count 'em, thirty-eight -- states to repeal that or any other part of the Constitution.

As an aside, I wonder if the current SCOTUS would assume the power of deciding that a Constitutional amendment is unConstitutional? Remember, the Court under Marshall assumed the power of deciding on Constitutionality without having that power derogated in the document itself.

I suspect Thomas and Alito, perhaps others, would be very happy to apply de rigeur originality even without having its imprimatur for the court itself. But as Jackson said, "Let them enforce it." Swings and roundabouts, hey-ho.
