Walter B. Jones: “Is it not true that a constitutional amendment, as my colleague said in his earlier remarks, certainly the Constitution…”

On the recordMarch 31, 1998
Is it not true that a constitutional amendment, as my colleague said in his earlier remarks, certainly the Constitution is like the Bible. It is sacred. It guarantees our right to practice our freedom, which, again, religion to be practiced freely. If the Constitution is to be amended, if it passes the House, and I want my colleague to touch on this, and the Senate, then it goes back to the States. Would the gentleman briefly explain that process for those that might be watching around this country so they know that they will actually have the final say through their legislative process?
