    So, we get the majority in Congress(Senate&House) and the Presidency I'm all in on a Constitutional Amendment that sets a limit of 9 Justices on the bench of the Supreme Court!

    Unfortunately (or maybe even fortunately) it takes a lot more than just a majority in the House and Senate. It requires approval by 2/3 majority in the House and the Senate followed by approval by 3/4 of the states.

    ....never going to happen.

    Yes... I was aware of the of the requirements to get an amendment implemented. I'm curious why you added (maybe even fortunately) in your comment? Yes... I realize it's a pipe dream.

    And not just the Constitution. The entire government was structured by the Founding Fathers with the clear intent that all changes would be difficult, so that only the minimum, necessary changes could ever gain cooperation between so many competing interests.

    But the Constitution, at this point, is virtually impossible to amend. I did the math a long time ago, but something like 2% of the population of America can prevent any amendment to the Constitution, even if the other 98% wants it, provided it's the right 2%. Even Justice Scalia said that amending the Constitution is too difficult, but at this point, that's very much in our favor, because the left would dump the 2A in a heartbeat if they could.

    Soooo... Trump can just write an Executive Order!!!! LOL... I'm only kidding.... I'm only kidding!!!! I agree it ain't gonna happen. And I further agree it's probably a good thing that it won't.

    Unlike our Reconstruction constitution with 507 successful amendments to date.
