Just what do you think this discussion is about?A simple amendment will change that before the ink is even dry.An amendment is as much a part of the Constitution as the rest of it. Congress cannot simply cancel one.Cancel? It is called "Amend". It is just as legal as the 2nd. Amendment itself. It can ... and will be done.
"Quickly"? "Any time soon"? What the hell are you talking about?It's not really possible to quickly pass a new amendment, which is what would have to happen to do away with the second.
It can be, but it's not likely to be done any time soon. Remember that you have to get the states to agree, and in this case, it simply didn't matter how many people in large urban centers want it to happen, a handful of people in enough lightly populated states can prevent it.
You can't amend an amendment without passing a new amendment. You do know that, right?
