... and that's why there is going to be an attempt to ram-rod this through.

I don't know the number in the Senate or HoR or the number of states that would ratify, but let's say that it's 70 in the Senate, 295 in the HoR and 40 states would ratify. Again, just for example's sake ...

Fifty years ago, it probably would have been a clean sweep (100, 430, and 48 -- pre-HI and AK). And they see that before long they don't stand a CHANCE of getting 2/3 on either side of Congress, much less 3/4 of the states. So their strategy, imho, is to push it through now, and it -- unfortunately -- would stay as a Constitutional amendment until -- like prohibition -- it could be repealed.
