Again, difficult to answer as worded. I answered as if the question were "*Is* it unconstitutional?" because the provision certainly is. Well it ever ultimately be *found* unconstitutional?--with this SCOTUS majority, and the even more lopsided right-wing majority we will be stuck with after a couple more Republican presidencies? That's another question altogether.

I think the constiution should be the first requited reading course in grade school, with teachers that can correctly inturrupt it, our country is founded on freedom of speech, the press, and the right to a' constitutional convention', when was the last one held? how many of you don't know about this?....(eating sugar makes you dumb, did you know that?)... it's a update rebooting for the country, so we can keep up with the times we're living in, the 21st century has technology that should be used to replace the congress of fat greedy cats to "We the people" with computers and we can read, write and vote on them...globally too.
