Was watching Democracy Docket, w smart guests. Two things:
1) The #Callais decision is for minority representation what the #DredScott decision was for citizenship & due process (so #Congress passed the 14th, 15th #Amendments). The fix here is a slog.
2) Marc Elias predicts GOP attacking white districts if represented by a minority. They'll claim that SCOTUS has backed them up, which is true.

Two #constitutional #amendments Americans missed on:
A maximum #wage amendment that no person should accumulate more than $1 million was proposed by representative Wesley Lloyd in 1933. In the wake of the Wall Street crash and the beginnings of the Great Depression many Americans believed that personal wealth should be limited to avoid such an issue from happening again.
An amendment to limit investment income was proposed by Representative J. Buell Snyder in 1933.

The reasons we need #constitutional #amendments are:
1. End POTUS immunity & limit pardon power.
2. Codify "Chevron Deference" & standardize independent agencies.
3. Institute mandatory "Wyoming Rule" for HoR reapportionment
4. Put "civil service" protection in the Constitution.
Sure, what Trump has been doing is illegal, by the standard understanding of law and precedent from ~2015. The problem is that it is all *arguable* as legal.

If this corrupt #SCotUS starts nitpicking #Constitutional #Amendments looking for loopholes to redefine the 1st & 14th amendments, someone better challenge the SECOND. #AWellRegulatedMilitia

What we will see happen:
#Trump
piece by piece, will dismantle the #Constitutional Laws that prevent him from authoritarian acts.
Since changes to the Constitutional #Amendments require a vote of 2 thirds of #Congress
and Trump will NEVER have them
Trump will use the corrupt #MAGA #Repubblicans #Judges of the #SCOTUS
to bypass the Congress. -

Voters in 10 states will decide whether to approve constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights this year.
I predict voters will approve all 10 of these constitutional amendments.

Two more #states have confirmed that #constitutional #amendments protecting #abortion #rights will go before voters in November
-- while reproductive rights advocates in a third state are headed to court to challenge language summarizing their measure that they call "deceptive and misleading."
1. Late on Tuesday, the #Arizona Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit alleging that activists' description of their abortion amendment on petitions they used to gather signatures was legally insufficient. ✅The decision allows the measure, which would guarantee abortion until fetal viability, to appear on the ballot as #Proposition139.
2. On the same day, #Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen certified that a similar amendment had qualified for the ballot. That proposal, known as Constitutional #Initiative128, would likewise
✅protect the right to an abortion until a fetus is said to be viable outside the womb, which is generally around 24 weeks into pregnancy.
Jacobsen had previously sought to keep the measure from going to voters, but the state Supreme Court late last month rejected a challenge she brought.3. Meanwhile, in #Missouri, organizers have filed a lawsuit
👉challenging language describing their amendment 👈drafted by Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, 🆘who has repeatedly used the powers of his office to undermine their campaign.⚠️Ashcroft's summary, which would be postednext to sample ballots at polling places, claims the amendment would permit abortion "at any time of pregnancy" and "prohibit any regulation of abortion," including any laws that might target "anyone who performs an abortion and hurts or kills the pregnant women."
Last year, Ashcroft wrote a similarly 💥slanted synopsis of the amendment 💥that would have appeared on actual ballots but was repeatedly shot down by the courts, including the state Supreme Court, which declined to hear an appeal.
Ashcroft certified the measure, known as #Amendment3, earlier this month.

This fundamental interpretive shift is noteworthy and prompts serious #questions regarding the #RFRA's #congruity with the #Constitution.
#ConstitutionalAmendments like the #1stAmendment must not be #altered or #misconstrued through the #enactment of #ordinary #legislation like the #RFRA. Such #alterations must be viewed as #undermining the inherent #authority of the #constitution and its #amendments, potentially creating #legal #discrepancies and #loopholes. (6/8)
