And that’s followed in quick succession by Beck who doesn’t understand it any more than Barton does.

Not only does the Senate and House have to pass an amendment by a 2/3 majority, but the states have to pass by 3/4. If you think there wasn’t wheeling and dealing, you haven’t done your research.

Shit, considering that the Emancipation Proclamation which only freed slaves in rebellion against the Union was controversial within his own cabinet, you can be damned sure that outright abolition was a tough road too. Of course, this is David Barton who claims the Jefferson Bible was only written so Jefferson could easily explain religion to the “savages”. He also thinks John Calvin matters more to American values than Jefferson too. He’s a hack.
