        @aterkel @cristianafarias Maybe a stupid question, but isn't a constitutional amendment constitutional by definition?

        @jonathanchait @aterkel It begins with a proposal. And since the proposal is rooted in anti-immigrant sentiment, it's ostensibly illegal.

        @cristianafarias @Popehat @jonathanchait @aterkel That’s entirely irrelevant. The means by which the document’s amended is clearly laid out.

        @aterkel @cristianafarias This is very bad legal analysis. SCOTUS would never rule that Constitution self-limits amendment via amendment.

        @Globalizer360 @aterkel @cristianafarias SCOTUS has no authority to prevent any amendment, and if they rule so, they must be executed.
