Dear Joes plan to limit SCOTUS only requires a constitutional congress then ratification of a majority of the states. Something that has not happened during the life time of any American. Dear Joe hopes that his pinky swaer to make it right for their cause will be enough to change the world. Democracy could die if anyone other than a democrat is selected.
Anon 2:36pm: it has happened in 1919, 1920, 1933 (twice), 1951, 1961, 1964, 1967, 1971, and 1992. Not a lot of folks 105 or older, but a few. Plenty of people older than 32.

ReplyDeleteYup, that would require an amendment.

IIRC, EITHER constitutional convention, or passage by 2/3 of both House and Senate, AND ratification by 38 states' legislatures.
ReplyDeleteJhiao Bribem is unlikely to have the lifespan to see (assuming that he does, presently" see" and comprehend that which he has seen...) that happen.
