I would point out the obvious contradiction in your position on these issues and the change to a 60% majority needed, to which you pointed out the current system has been in place for over 100 years. Every single thing you want to change in this post have been in place longer than that. Consequently, you need to decide if something being in place for a long time is an argument for keeping it or is it not.
I don't think I am contradicting myself. Expansion of the courts and House actually opens up access to our government. There are logical reasons to increase the size of the House, Fed Judicial Districts, and SCOTUS including workload and proper representation.
There is no reason to change the threshold for amending the Constitution other than fear of losing 2 upcoming votes. Ohio has never gone overboard with amending the Constitution. And to sneak through on an August special election that just months ago the same people made illegal. What is so prevailing that they are shoving it onto the electorate in 3 months instead of placing it on the November general election ballot? An election that far more people would participate in. Oh yeah...the abortion question will be on the Nov ballot. Can't let that happen. And if this new change is so important, why only require a 50% vote for it to pass? Shouldn't a 60& threshold require 60%
