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 bill’s opponents - including Baroness Grey-Thompson - say their #amendments are crucial to add #safeguards to a private members’ bill that is vague, unsafe & poorly-drafted."

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.
