it's technically possible in the same way that it's technically possible to repeal every other amendment

2018-05-23 19:35:40 UTC  

but the only scenario I see that happening in is if racial relations get to borderline civil war tier

2018-05-23 19:36:09 UTC  

and in that circumstance, we'll see actual civil war before a repeal of the 15th

2018-05-23 19:39:51 UTC  

14th is worse

2018-05-23 19:42:57 UTC  

Repealing the 15th is probably as hard as repealing the 13th.

2018-05-23 19:43:29 UTC  

You'll probably have a better time repealing the 26th or something.

2018-05-23 19:43:38 UTC  

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.

2018-05-23 19:46:08 UTC  

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.

2018-05-23 19:46:18 UTC  

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.

2018-05-23 19:46:22 UTC  

Another example is that states were originally allowed to establish and restrict religion.

2018-05-23 19:48:31 UTC  

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.

2018-05-23 19:49:45 UTC  

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

2018-05-23 19:55:18 UTC  

Hopefully this results in Virgil Goode taking his seat back

2018-05-23 20:00:29 UTC  

Yes?

2018-05-23 20:00:35 UTC  

Pls whitepill

2018-05-23 20:00:53 UTC  

"Considering"

2018-05-23 20:01:09 UTC  

Also, did Gillespie lose this district in 2017?

2018-05-23 20:01:22 UTC  

If he didn't, that's a good sign.

2018-05-23 20:01:28 UTC  

Let me check

2018-05-23 20:03:45 UTC  

Yikes

2018-05-23 20:03:59 UTC  

This is R+6 district

2018-05-23 20:04:07 UTC  

Oof.

2018-05-23 20:04:25 UTC  

But if Gillespie won it, I would say it would stay with the Republicans.

2018-05-23 20:04:31 UTC  

Guess what city this district compromises of

2018-05-23 20:04:40 UTC  

Charlottesville

2018-05-23 20:04:47 UTC  

AAAAAAAAA

2018-05-23 20:05:12 UTC  

Well, let's start freaking out if he actually retires.

2018-05-23 20:05:33 UTC  

These representatives are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

2018-05-23 20:05:35 UTC  

Yeah, if Barrett retires, you should adjust the Crystal ball

2018-05-23 20:05:51 UTC  

Definitely.

2018-05-23 20:41:25 UTC  

Alright, things look good.

2018-05-23 20:41:53 UTC  

Gillespie won by a decent margin, so if that guy retires I'll either put it at lean or likely Republican.

2018-05-23 20:42:19 UTC  

I thought he lost

2018-05-23 20:43:14 UTC  

He did lose

2018-05-23 20:45:11 UTC  

In that district, though.
