I wonder if they could get 38 state legislatures to go along with this idea.

Reading the article, his plan is to run it through congress and then hope for enough Supreme Court justifies who believe the Constitution is "malleable" (as they did with Obamacare) to just rubber-stamp it as good to go.

No constitutional amendment needed.

50, read my comment below the article. Giving one state more Senators would require approval from every state, which is why they are coming up with nutty ideas, 38 would be hard enough but they know they would never get Wyoming or North Dakota to consent to being made irrelevant in Congress.

Anyone who thinks the little states, population wise, are going to give an inch to the large populated ones is nuts.
