For the Supreme Court? Or for the revision of the 14th Amendment?

How do they expect to change the constitution?  Never happening unless they appoint SCOTUS judges like Aileen Canon and I doubt she gets past Lisa Murkowski.

Yeah well Trump and Murkowski hate each other so he has no chance.  Mitch already said the filibuster is not going away.  
 

If the Rep. choose Scott as majority leader I would not be shocked to see Murkowski go Independent.  Who she caucuses with will be interesting.

I think it is an anachronism that needs to go away.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Amendments are only additions to the Constitutions.  So If I'm correct they can be dropped.

Amendments are changes.  Can the Constitution be changed.  Sure there is a process for that change.   Good luck with that process.  They cannot be dropped

Literally any part of the Constitution can be “dropped”.
