1. He can rant and rave all he wants, but the haters will never get 3/4 vote of the states

4. They won't get the 2/3 of the House or Senate needed to send such an amendment to the states

And, I suspect, Boehner and McConnell, will do all they can to keep it from coming to a vote to protect their members from having to go on the record.

Jindal is a trip. The more he talks, the stupider he sounds.

6. They don't need 2/3 of the states, they need 3/4 of the states

After it gets 2/3 of the House and Senate.

7. It's 3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify, 2/3 vote in each house of Congress to send to states.

Article. V.

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

3. There should be

a Constitutional amendment or clarification of existing law that keeps shit-for-brains shills like him from ever being eligible to hold office - even as dog catcher!

Freaking asshat!

5. If that's their last hope they might as well just give it up now.

No way do you get two-thirds of each house of Congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures to go along with that.

8. I would prefer the Equal Rights Amendment myself. nt

10. And this is the same guy who urged Republicans to stop being the party of stupid.

Apparently he's too stupid to take his own advice.
