This was a comment from "BerlinWallCrosser", and I thought it was something worthwhile we should dig on. First I'd heard of it!!
Posting now because I'm headed out for the day and wanted to get some eyes on this. If true, this is MASSIVE. Berlin said we could verify the number of states - so perhaps y'all would like to pick this ball up and run with it? ;)
I can't help if you see political conspiracies in matters of mere documentary facts. All I know is that you haven't any evidence the official account is untrue. The official evidence is that the amendment (which I despise) was truly ratified by more than the required number of states. You don't like it? Too bad.
