A proposed amendment to New York's constitution has been blocked by a judge. Opponents of the ballot initiative say it would have allowed state government to take over parents' rights.

How dare that "extremist" judge try to make us follow the constitution!

"For them to violate the constitution and to want to do that in order to change the constitution is not acceptable, in fact it’s dangerous for the people, for the citizens," Cox said.

Following the decision, Democrats have promised an appeal. Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement, "Our decades-long fight to protect equality and reproductive freedom will not be thrown off track by one extremist judge and I look forward to casting my ballot for the Equal Rights Amendment in November."

I'm failing to understand this... as the State (NY) Constitution can only be amended (by law) with a Constitutional Convention... If I recall correctly, can be held once every 20 years if THAT is approved by voters! Last go round the Dems and Progressives in this state strongly opposed opening the Constitution for ANY changes, because ANY change could be introduced, like adding a 2nd Amendment to it, that isn't there right now... Or more!

Or educate me that a mere voter block passage could amend the Constitution of this retched State... Because if so, then it's in more trouble than you could imagine!
