The Democrats don't like being criticized ... and they want to amend the Constitution to allow the banning of political criticism. Really.
I don't believe this attempt has any chance at all of succeeding. As Ed Morrissey points out in the linked post, it probably won't even succeed amongst the Democratic caucus. Personally, I think every supporter of this amendment ought to be removed from office by the voters – though most likely there aren't enough of them paying attention to make that happen.
Just for the record, let me point out that Hugo Chavez actually got an amendment like this passed in Venezuela – and that passage serves as a marker, as good as any other I can think of, of start of that country's disastrous fall into the thugocratic mess they're in today...
