it's technically possible in the same way that it's technically possible to repeal every other amendment
but the only scenario I see that happening in is if racial relations get to borderline civil war tier
and in that circumstance, we'll see actual civil war before a repeal of the 15th
14th is worse
Repealing the 15th is probably as hard as repealing the 13th.
You'll probably have a better time repealing the 26th or something.
And as FLanon said, the 14th is the worst.
It fucks up the entire country by not only adding an enumerated power for civil rights and giving the Congress the authority to combine it with its commerce authority and other such BS via the Necessary and Proper Clause, but the Supreme Court has fucked it up by making it effectively bind the federal and state levels of government to the same restrictions on power.
Just because the Second Amendment guarantees a federal right to own and use nukes and battleships doesn't mean that it was intended to preserve those rights for states--in one amazingly telling example.
But the theory of Trump being normalized could work out, he's definitely going to need to make some more presidential moves, not as much cucking as just doing stuff a president would do, just overall being more likable. Lot of ways to do it, he could get a dog, go to the world series, but it doesn't really cost him anything politically.
Another example is that states were originally allowed to establish and restrict religion.
And now that they've even made it so that liberal states can pass "rights" and the federal government can be forced to enforce them nationwide, the Fourteenth Amendment is operating in a means far from that which was originally intended.
One of the most hilarious examples of Fourteenth Amendment overreach was that SCOTUS held that the Fourth Amendment created a "right to privacy" which guaranteed married people the right to contraception, then ruled that because unmarried people were not receiving equal protection, the Fourteenth Amendment also applied to unmarried pepole.
NEW: Rep. Tom GARRETT -- a GOP freshman from Virginia -- is considering not seeking reelection and has abruptly parted ways with his chief of staff
Hopefully this results in Virgil Goode taking his seat back

Yes?
Pls whitepill
"Considering"
If he didn't, that's a good sign.
Let me check
Yikes
This is R+6 district
Oof.
But if Gillespie won it, I would say it would stay with the Republicans.
Guess what city this district compromises of
Charlottesville
AAAAAAAAA
Well, let's start freaking out if he actually retires.
These representatives are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, if Barrett retires, you should adjust the Crystal ball
Definitely.

Zyklon Ben at it Again
Alright, things look good.
Gillespie won by a decent margin, so if that guy retires I'll either put it at lean or likely Republican.
I thought he lost
He did lose
In that district, though.
