(CNSNews.com) –   Republicans added to their historic 2014 gains in the nation’s state legislatures with the addition of five state House chambers and two state Senate chambers in last week’s election, while Democratic control was reduced to levels not seen since the Civil War.

Republicans are now in control of a record 67 (68 percent) of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers in the nation, more than twice the number (31) in which Democrats have a majority, according to the bipartisan National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).

“That’s more than at any other time in the history of the Republican Party,” according to NCSL. “They also hold more total seats, well over 4,100 of the 7,383, than they have since 1920.”

And if the economy crashes, who do you think will get the blame?

And if the economy crashes, who do you think will get the blame?

The same ones who would even if it doesn't.

Time for an Article 5!

Think I saw on Twitter that the GOP still doesn't have enough for an article 5 or Amendment.

I think the number is 38, so we would have to "cross the aisle".
