It's interesting to note that one of the states that has not ratified this amendment is Illinois, where Obama was a former legislator.

When the American Dream Becomes a Nightmare Does it just happen these four states have a disproportionate number of foreclosures compared to the rest of the country or has there been a concerted effort in these states to sell subprime mortgages for the sole purpose of picking up the foreclosed properties for pennies on the dollar and reselling at a later date for extraordinary profits?
