So, DU, I'm curious to know how you'd amend the constitution? I'm going out on a limb and thinking that you'd take a different approach than Greg Abbott.
So how would you amend the constitution?
According to this Mother Jones article, the Governor of Texas wants to add nine amendments to the constitution, including (but not limited to):IV. Prohibit administrative agencies—and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them—from preempting state law.
V. Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
VI. Require a seven-justice super-majority vote for U.S. Supreme Court decisions that invalidate a democratically enacted law.
