You never know which states might change in political outlook somewhere down the road. Some of the "blue" states you listed were at one time pretty much conservative and Republican. On the other side of the coin, some southern states now "red," were once one party Democrat states.

Agree that most, if not all, of the constitutional amendments that may be up for consideration would not get through 38 state legislatures now. But planting the seed is only a first step. Remember that just about all successful political movements (for issues, candidates, or even parties) in the history of the country were not successful on the first try. These movements had to take time to plant their ideas in the public's collective minds before they achieved their goals.

You make an excellent point. Its rare that anything in politics gets through the first time. Building consensus takes time and effort.

I stand corrected. I don’t pretend to be a fan of the strategy, but it isnt going to hurt anything by giving it a shot.
