Quote:Ok, 50 minus 12. :) That's 37 + Texas.You're counting any state with a representative who proposes something like this as a state opposing the bill. That's dishonest. The states are democracies - you need a majority of the representatives to invoke their collective power. Just because some schlub proposes something does not mean it will go anywhere. Just look at all the crazy crap Dennis Kucinich has proposed over the years. Would it be reasonable to say "United States Congress Seeks to Impeach Cheney," just because it was proposed? I would say it is not, and nor is it reasonable to put this tally at 38.
Edit: At the very least, many of these states have Democrat-controlled legislatures. How exactly are the Republicans going to swing that?
Give me a ring when 38 states actually amend their constitutions to forbid this - then we'll have some real fun at the SCOTUS. Until then, this is just hot air.
