If they claim the 14th is illegitimate but make no such claim about the 13th and 15th, it's just what @urmums401k said. If they claim all 3 are illegitimate they're a fucking confederate sympathizer and should be tarred and feathered as such
no this is great because if original popular sovereignty is the basis of legitimacy then she's definitely endorsing the idea that the united states itself is completely illegitimate. the constitution was imposed on the american people without the support of the necessary supermajority of those same people, since a supermajority of them were explicitly denied enfranchisement by that very constitution.
How tf is an amendment illegitimate? It’s an amendment. It amends the constitution
I’m going to introduce an amendment to the constitution that reads, “this amendment is unconstitutional”. Boom. Instant constitutional crisis.
paradoxical constitutional shenanigans let's goooo
