  16. Only in a loose manner of speaking. The U.S. Congress
  17. could for example pass legislation which outlawed
  18. discrimination in employment and housing on the basis
  19. of sexual orientation, and this law would supercede
  20. the Colorado state constitution. However, Congress does
  21. *not* have the authority to amend (or "un-amend") a
  22. state constitution per se.
