Tilde Lowengrimm reviewed Six Amendments by John Paul Stevens
Straightforward, reasonable, impossible
These six amendments are easy to understand and eminently reasonable. In fact, they are barely amendments — they mostly just clarify existing text which unreasonable judges have decided to deliberately misunderstand in order to achieve unpopular policy goals. Indeed, it is an indictment of the US and our legal system that we do not currently act as if these clarifying amendments are in place. Stevens provides plenty of context about the events and cases which demand these amendments. But a reasonably-informed person would probably get most of the context just from reading the proposed changes.
