I don’t remember details but I feel like I read a while ago that there’s a pending amendment that some blue states want to de-ratify. If there’s open question about whether de-ratifying is a thing, then this might be a strategic move to get the courts to establish that it is.
Edit: looking up unratified amendments I see there aren’t that many and none seems to fit the description I was thinking of so I guess my memory is just wrong. But still I do wonder if it might just be a case of putting an old question to bed.
We’re setting up the “Mr Burns’ diseases” system. We’ll just have every constitutional crisis in existence all at once, and they’ll balance each other out! 🤦♀️
