'The 19th Amendment was a bad idea': The far-right's wish list for extreme voter suppression

I have probably followed the political far right longer than you.

This radical incarnation has not been even talked about until recently. Rushdoony ideas have only taken hold with a small minority of Christians since he died in 2000. That is basically what Doug Wilson and Joel Webbon are, Rushdoony loonies. They are sucking up more oxygen than they deserve. The NAR was a little bit earlier, in the 1990s, but they weren't pushing for repeal of the 19th. They still don't, and there are a number of women who are prominent in that movement.

It is impossible to change a constitutional amendment except through another one.

The ONLY exception is through a constitutional convention, and that won't happen because of the legislatures.

NOBODY can do anything by fiat. In fact, repealing the Voting Rights Act is far more likely than repeal of the 19th.

Comparing the overturning of Roe v. Wade to this proposal is apples and oranges. Roe was overturned by overturning precedent, while repealing the 19th doesn't involve the USSC but Congress and the legislatures.

There is too much paranoia about what the far right can actually do. Trump declaring the 19th null and void isn't going to happen.

Not even P25 calls for this.
