Did anybody else notice this trend?

When it comes down to amending the Constitution, there are two patterns.

Under Republican rule (figuring since women gained the right to vote), nearly every amendment proposed has been WHAT YOU CAN'T DO. You can't burn a flag. You can't have an abortion. You can't have to men marry (or two women). You can't drink alcohol. About the only one of late that was "what you can do" was the "line-item veto", and that was found unconstitutional.

Democrats seem to support WHAT YOU CAN DO amendments, or even just keeping the constitution as it is. You can vote if you're 18. You can vote if you're black or a minority. You can drink alcohol.

2. Don't forget ERA

The ERA didn't get many Republican votes.

3. The Line Item Veto was only passed by the repukes because they never

dreamed that Clinton would win a 2nd term.

But the SOCTUS came to the rescue - should have been an omen.

5. slight correction

there was never a constitutional amendment passed on the line-item veto. Obviously, it had been passed, it could not be ruled unconstitutional.
