    For these Amendments? I think many of them. You guys will have AL, AK, ID, KS, NE, ND, SD, UT, WY until the sun winks out. All the rest of the states are within 10 points, but let's give you AR, MS and WV on the general principle of eternal herpa-derpism. That's 12 states; 24 Senators. If we're talking a 33% GOP electorate, I'm not sure you'll hold many more.

    And remember we're talking massive state house movements and concurrent gerrymandering, so instead of getting far more Members than you deserve you'll be getting far fewer.

    It's not pretty. You probably don't want to become one-third of the electorate because that results in far less than one-third of power.

        Why not these Amendment proposals? I'm guessing a lot of those would get steam in a lot of the country.

        You missed MT, and I suspect your "AS" is supposed to be "AR". And you might be forgetting OK.

            Or maybe I meant American Samoa!

            Sorry, I always screw up at least one of Alaska, Arkansas, and Alabama.

            I dropped OK and MT after looking at the partisanship split. It's not nearly as bad as I thought. OK I get because there's a city growing and, presumably, literacy, but MT surprises me. Must be all those writers in Missoula.

              Stevens wants to get rid of a doctrine known as anti-commandeering, which says the U.S. government can't force state officials to comply with federal laws.
              So, you want to give Mr. Trump power to force CA to follow Federal immigration law?

                To be fair and consistent, I kinda do. Goose / gander and all that. If we can't be bothered to elect responsible and intelligent federal governments then we get what we deserve.

                Also understand that all the southern voter suppression stuff goes out the window. Not mention the anti-abortion argle bargle.

                We covered this with Orval Faubus. Not to mention the Civil F-cking War. Supremacy Clause means what it says. We tried living under the Articles and it failed, and that was in a United States the population of current day Oregon.

                    The line is "Those talking about how we should have not ostracized him? You didn’t know this kid, OK? We did.". That doesn't say that they ostracized him. That is responding to the people whose immediate assumption is that they ostracized him, and thus maybe sorta had it coming, even though they knew nothing about the people in the situation; the whole point is Cruz was like that without being ostracized, which the people, you know, in the actual ****ing school with him would be aware of.

                    I have no idea if Cruz was or was not bullied, or was or was not ostracized.

                    Here is what I do know. The vast, vast majority of these mass shootings, and certainly almost 100% of the school shootings, involve someone with a connection at the site of the shooting. A student, a former student, maybe an employee. The same with mass shootings in the work place.

                    My guess is that in some of these cases the shooter was bullied or ostracized, in others he only perceived mistreatment.

                    But to ignore the connection that the shooters almost always have to the location of the shooting is, in my opinion, to ignore important facts that may help us become alert to problems before they happen, or take steps to prevent them from occurring. After all, it's stupid to talk about trying to make schools more secure when the shooter is usually someone we expect or demand to be there.
                    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
