Support For 19th Amendment Decreases Sharply

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As tempers flared among girl congressmen on Capitol Hill yesterday, all male congressmen found themselves in unprecedented agreement that the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was clearly a mistake.

Stern-faced congressmen glanced at each other in silent unity as multiple girl congressmen erupted into a shameful shouting match during a House Oversight Committee hearing, with all the men sharing the same sentiment that granting women the right to vote and hold office was a severe miscalculation.

"Yeah, the 19th Amendment was a mistake," said Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin. "Back in 1920, I don't think our predecessors had the foresight that this would eventually be the result. We've got to do something to roll things back so we can silence the hen house here."

In a surprising moment of bipartisanship, congressmen from both sides of the aisle agreed. "There's no point in debating it at this point, we all know the 19th is destroying the country," said Arizona Republican Paul Gosar. "It's time for all of us men to come together — Democrats and Republicans — to right this great wrong in our nation's past."

Male congressmen reportedly had their staffers hard at work making plans to meet together at a bar later to get some peace and quiet and iron out some legislation for a change. "It would be nice to get some work done," Raskin said. "We can't even hear ourselves think with all those dames squawking like crazy."

At publishing time, male congressmen were preparing a new motion to have the girl congressmen relegated to a special soundproof girl congressman area.

"I agree with repealing the 19th Amdt. Always have."

************************************************************

The Democratic party would cease to exist without women voters. The 19th amendment was an asteroid strike against civilization.

All of the Progressive Era amendments (16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th) were bad ideas...although the 19th was inevitable given the Zeitgeist.

The Sons of the American Revolution, for reasons that escape me, takes pride in the fact that the man who cast the deciding vote for Tennessee to ratify the 19th amendment (it was the 36th state to do so) was a member of the SAR and later its national president.

Never heard that analysis of the 19th but I like it a lot.

Re: 5 - LOL!

Now, the never-happy foot stomping crowd is whining about women voting.

They all know the 19th Amendment is never going to be repealed.

Those three amendments in essence canceled the Constitution. It didn’t fly apart immediately but the process was begun and disintegration continues apace

“ They all know the 19th Amendment is never going to be repealed.”

Which is a damned shame.

LOL - there was a war on. And it was a scandal anyhow. Plus the Code Duello was still in (unofficially) so there were consequences to acting like an idiot.

Maybe that's what we need . . . pistols at dawn.

The caning incident was a couple of years before the Civil War started (although there was already violence in Kansas Territory).
