It seems pretty obvious, in this context, that he's referring to this specific instance, and not a completely different scenario where there's popular support enough to get through a ballot question.

The question was "How can an amendment get proposed without a legislator publicly sponsoring it?". You did not answer that question.

Sorry. That's different kind of amendment. I don't think you've read what people have written to you. You are misunderstanding the subject of "amendment to a bill".

PS Intimating is the wrong word. I think you meant infer instead of imply.

>You are misunderstanding the subject of "amendment to a bill"

Probably.

>PS Intimating is the wrong word. I think you meant infer instead of imply.

...no, I don't think they did? They denied implying anything about Ohio.

Incidentally, it seems like the usage of both imply and intimate in this way comes from about the same time, ~1580s.
