Great story of persistence! I’m happy that my home state, Colorado, was one of the first to ratify.

How about age and term limits for the justices first? That’s what America needs now so we don’t have the old, incompetent fools sitting on the bench earning lots of money and getting more for favors while doing nothing.

"Shock of shocks!" Love the history on this story, Gabe. I'm wondering if you feel that this amendment vote is the best way the House could be spending its time right now? If so, why; if not, why?

Very Good "real news" video! Keep this video, Gregory and this topic present and moving. (I hate to say 'viral', but it should be burning up the airwaves [or electro-magnetic frequencies].

Excellent story, Gabe! This is a gem of obscure governmental history which reminds us, while not an easy thing to do, change can happen if the dedication and motivation hold strong. THANK YOU!

Increase the size of Congress; I’ve written about it on SubStack.
