Monday’s (July 2, 2018) op-ed by Daniel Wirls of UCS C was such an inspired solution to one of the Constitution’s worst provisions (that is: lifetime tenure of Supreme Court justices) that it would justify a constitutional convention all by itself. Throw in gerrymandering, voter suppression, voting convenience, gun control, DACA, and on and on. I would suggest an amendment making it a federal crime to do anything that restricts the vote for any class of voter, such as eliminating Sunday voting, extreme gerrymandering, voter ID, same day registration, motor voter registration, and so on. Republicans are doing everything they can think of to keep the poor and colored from voting. Small ”R” right-thinking people must do everything we can think of to increase their participation in our elections.
