. it still REMAINS A FACT that overcoming or otherwise ignoring a CLEAR CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION would be much, much more difficult than overcoming most any other change.. True but if you don't get a strong coaltion behind the idea you'll never even get a fuzzy constitutional prohibition let alone a clear one. And if you don't maintain it eventually it will be worked around or appealed. In the end you have to get and keep the people behind it. Its not like other prohibitions in the constitution haven't been ignored. "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." - H. L. Mencken Also a clear, solid, no significant loophole, constitutional amendment is the least likely type of structural barrier to ever pass. Much more likely is an amendment with loopholes, and the most likely is some non-amendment scheme.
