    Michigan’s constitution allows for a rewrite every 16 years.  We have an opportunity to make revisions with a “con con” in 2026.  The last con con was in 1962-3.  Let’s start our list of revisions!

    Update:  it’s too easy to amend the constitution by a 51% vote of the electorate from an amendment proposal by petition.  It should be 66% or better!  We can wait for CONCON 2026 or propose an amendment sooner.  The repeal of Props 12&3 should happen first.

    Sorry I posted twice, although I have another thought!  The irony in the fact that the death penalty was abolished by amendment at the constitutional convention in 1962-3, while murder in the womb was added to the constitution in 2022-3.  Makes me weep!  I suggest repealing the death penalty so that dealers in fentanyl can be prosecuted for dealing in weapons of mass destruction.
