MODERATORS
Took 13 years to undo prohibition, which unlike abortion and gun rights, was based on a clear and direct constitutional amendment with no arguments about "framers intent" or changes to technology/interpretations of rights over time.
This entire "50 years of cultural shift and overcoming supreme Court decisions" is straight bullshit.
We don't have the same environment now that we did then. We can't currently get an amendment to do ANYTHING at this point. Everything is too divided.
290 votes in the House, that couldn't get 217 to decide their own leadership.
67 votes in the Senate, that can't get 60 to over-ride a filibuster.
38 state ratifications where 25 states can't admit Joe Biden won the last election.
It's untenable, even on topics lots of people can agree on, like, say, term limits for Supreme Court Justices, or barring convicted felons from public office.
And those should be the uncontroversial topics...
