      They can’t even pass a budget that should be an automatic process. You really think they can handle a constitutional amendment right now?

        Oh they can pass a constitutional amendment, it just won’t be about term limits for SCOTUS. It would be more like denying access to abortion, presidents serve for life, or some other Christian-Nationalist shit reasons.

      At this point in history, an amendment stating that 11/13 is Chocolate Chip Cookie Day would be impossible. Literally nothing could be popular enough to get past this process:

      “An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.”
