Tea Party members and freshmen,
have demanded nothing short of changing the Constitution to include a

Makes damn good sense.


It's a terrible, terrible idea. It's allows no flexibility, and it's a

It requires two-thirds of both houses of congress.

Anyone suggesting amending the constitution in this political climate
is either stupid, crazy or dishonest.
