Serious as root canal. The 13th was "legislating through amendment", an issue that had already been decided by armed conflict and thus, IMHO, unnecessary. Congress did not need to amend the Constitution since there is no mention of its legality as a practice (notwithstanding Art. I, sec. 2 & sec. 9) in the document.

I was going to ask you the same thing about the 19th — even if you truly believe women shouldn't be considered competent to vote, could you envision any scenario in which the repeal of that amendment would succeed?
