| I could not agree more, obviously. I don't know how Ohio got this way but we are going to pay for it.... | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I believe that constitutional amendments SHOULD require some form of super majority. The US framers knew the Constitution would have to be amended. They also knew it should never be amended frivolously or haphazardly. National requirements are two thirds of both Houses shall propose Amendments to the US Constitution, or, by the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, calling a Convention, proposing Amendments. THEN not valid until ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof. Pretty significant hurdles. Intentionally tough I don't believe states should go below, for example, 60% super majorities within a state to amend its constitution-- in the legislatures, and from a voters referendum. But 75% would be better. Seems malpractice or at least unwise to go lower than 60%. Can get to be too lax, if otherwise lower. My two cents. Sorry Ohio, but Mark and others are calling you out. |
