So that means 66.666666666666... repeating, yikes!

They did that in Missouri. On legalizing marijuana.......3 votes. First we voted YES by a 58% margin. So Republicans said....nope that is NOT how we want you to vote on this. So now what WE want instead of just voting YES by simple majority......we want to make sure you don't pass this so we refuse to acknowledge you want this legalized and we're gonna make you vote on this again...Only this time you need 60% Yes to pass this. So we voted again and legalized marijuana passed by a 66% majority. That really pissed Republicans off so they said nope--that vote don't count either so we're gonna make you vote again and this time it will be70%

Finally a flurry of lawsuits hit and the Missouri SCOTUS and they told Republicans to know it off. So the measure passed. But since Republicans were pissed that the voters actually had the gall to vote yes for something they didn't want they passed a flurry of bills to restrict where it was sold............stalled off on grow farm permits........and wanted outrageous taxes on sellers. Meanwhile next door Illinois reported a $116 million in state taxes paid on its first year selling legal weed and then Mo Republicans went holy crap...look at how much WE can steal............so now weed is legal and easy to buy. Amazing, huh?

Any comment on this @jackjjackson?
That's nothing. Dems failed to get rid of the filibuster and the nation is also lacking in democracy.

@dale74 She wouldn't have felt desperate enough to have taken the pill in the first place if the laws were not so inhumane.

@SW-User you growing some awful wide assumptions

The legislature passes the laws. A constitutional amendment isn’t required. However the libs are going try constitutional route to attempt to prove a ridiculous point. Not the first time. Likely not the last.

2/3 is required for amending the US constitution and the same in most other states.
But not in Florida. MAGA/GOP are very keen to devolve powers to the states, why not let Florida keep its 60% threshold? Oh wait, because otherwise some liberal amendments might get through, and we can't have that, can we?

And, by the way, I have a diagnosis. You have:
