Amendments to the Constitution draft -- results
4:45 PM
Those of you who are avid fantasydrafts.blogspot.com fans might have noticed that a certain demographic of beer-obsessed shut-ins felt some contempt for our choices in the last draft. So we thought, let’s draft something we know really, really well.
Since we’ve already drafted Simpsons characters, we decided to go for our second-favorite thing besides TV, namely, FREEDOM!
Behold the mighty Amendments to the Constitution draft. Any readers who aren’t comfortable with the handy Constitution Shorthand deployed here (“what the hell is ‘suffrage’?”) are advised to consult the full text.

so someone picked an ammendment that was just enacted to repel a previous amendment before the actual amendment? weird.
repeAl, jackass
Yeah, like anyone would want to "R" her.
I think he probably meant "rappel."
A little known fact, but the 88th Congress wanted to erect a two hundred-foot piece of parchment containing the text of the 7th amendment. With the help of trained professionals, the lawmakers then wanted to "repel" down the face of the amendment. Sadly, the measure was never let out of the House Fun and Games Subcommittee.
Boy, the amendments sure start to go downhill towards the end there, don't they?
Also, I think our Inexplicably Mean Commenter died. RIP IMC!
I'd still like to have seen someone take the "28th Amendment" (Banning recognition of marriages or civil unions between anyone other than a man and a woman)as a late-round "draft and follow" pick.
The 28th Amendment is going to ban flag burning. Like some anonymous commenter is going to tell the guy in the SIX THOUSAND DOLLAR SUIT what the next Constitutional amendment is going to be. Come on!
I feel like the first imaginary amendment to go in this crowd probably would have been the ERA
We definitely need to pass some more amendments. A million (bleep)ing amendments!
