So it was not nearly abolished, if it was nearly abolished it would've passed the Senate exceeding the two-thirds vote required, which it didn't, and then would've nearly been ratified by two-thirds of the state legislatures, which it didn't. It was filibustered and died in the Senate.

FYI, it requires _3/4_ of state legislatures plus the two thirds in both houses of Congress. Otherwise agree with your comment.
