re: #18 palomino

Cain is so politically illiterate that he doesn’t even know that the prez has no formal role in the passage of const. amendments. There would be nothing for him to sign under any circumstances. It’s all done by Congress and individual state legislatures.

If he thinks he can sign a Congressional act overturning Roe, he’s once again misinformed. Congress doesn’t have the power to overrule SC decisions, regardless of what Perry and Cain fantasize about.

It’s amazing how people like Cain throw about the notion of Constitutional Amendments as though it were an “easy” and “overnight” process.

The Constitution of the United States

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
