One of the pending Amendments was proposed in 1789 and remarkedly still in the process of ratification - YES 222 YEARS. So LMFAO because, if Joedog could get an Amendment proposed - MAYBE his great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren MIGHT see it ratified. Funny chit there Billy.

I don't see why it is funny. Yes, some amendments have taken many years, others have been passed within a couple.

I feel that if you really think the people will support you on this, go for it. I say that because I'm not worried, you would be lucky to get 15% of the population to support it. It would be less popular than SOPA.

And to pass an amendment, you need 2/3rds of the house and senate to propose one, then it gets sent to the state houses where you also need 2/3rds. You aint getting it.
