The only amendment I want to see added is the Equal Rights Amendment. I thought it died many years ago, but according to the web page, it seems to be viable. I didn't read it closely, however, just did a quick search for it.

Dubya's move is purely political, a calculation to create a reaction in people who don't know what the Constitution is all about (you gave a good description, Don!).

The full text of the Equal Rights Amendment:

Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

That wording is particularly sublime at a time like this, isn't it?
