Rep. Joseph Morelle of New York, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, sent a letter to colleagues informing them of his intent to file the resolution, which would kickstart what’s traditionally a cumbersome amendment process.

“This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do — prioritize our democracy,” Morelle said in a statement to AP.

    Yeah part of being an effective legislator is drumming up support for your legislation, which is exactly what this looks like. When your job is literally writing policy into reality, “strongly worded letter” can be anything from a hollow complaint to legally actionable constitutional law.

      I like you. An upvote isn’t enough. Thanks for saying important points I never see and we need more of. For saying something that is clearly your own formed opinion and not parroting what figurehead or social media bubble is saying
