I listen to local political shows to see what they're talking about, but this conversation with Rod Arquette and Greg Hughes yesterday was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I don't expect them to ever act in good faith, but Jesus Christ this was colossally stupid.

This would need a 2/3 vote in Congress and ratification by 3/4 of the states, which is 38. Lee has passed just 12 bills during his time in Congress. This idea ain't going anywhere.
