The New District Map Thread

[JohnFKennedy]

Can the Supreme Court dodge a senate vote and amend the Constitution itself?

No mention of it in the Constitution. All it says on ratifying amendments is:

Article VI (Amendment Ratification)

The Senate may propose new amendments to the Constitution. In order for an amendment to be passed it must have a majority of the vote of a public poll administered  by the President pro tempore of the Senate, as well as two-thirds vote from the Senate.

It would save a lot of time and confusion.
