Which would it be?

If you wouldn't repeal anything, pick the amendment you'd repeal if you had to pick one.

Which perspective is this from:

If I had been around at the time I wouldn't have wanted it passed?

Or, If I could repeal one tomorrow which one would it be?

Its important because I'm not really anti any particular amendment and if I have to pick one I'll just pick one that is now de facto moot  if we are looking at it from the now perspective.

I also assume that we aren't allowed the 18th since its already been repealed.

And no, you can't pick the 18th.

Although it wouldn't abolish the income tax, it would arguably end the practice of tax returns, though that might go to the Supreme Court, since the feds would probably argue that a voluntary method of getting your money back isn't taxation.

Well, the third amendment has been pretty useless so far.  Though I suppose tampering with the bill of rights might be considered sacriledge.

Think of the implications of ridding ourselves of that amendment.
