A law journal just floated a wild idea to add 127 more states to the union. And it’s all constitutional.
We have a president who lost the popular vote, a Senate where the “majority” represents about 15 million fewer people than the “minority,” and a Supreme Court where two justices were nominated by that president and confirmed by that unrepresentative Senate.
An unsigned note, entitled “Pack the Union: A Proposal to Admit New States for the Purpose of Amending the Constitution to Ensure Equal Representation” and published in the Harvard Law Review, offers an entirely constitutional way out of this dilemma: Add new states — a lot of new states — then use this bloc of states to rewrite the Constitution so that the United States has an election system “where every vote counts equally.”
Another Harvard delusional is not paying attention.
We went through this debate, had petitions attempted twice in California. Discussed in New York, got no where. The author needs to spend less time mis-educating students and more time discovering current history.
