Would be a tough argument to make on its own. Article 2, Sec. 1:
quote:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
Much to the chagrin of Democrats the Supreme Court has based many of their recent major decisions upon the intent of the framers of the constitution . Hopefully this will govern their deciison on this issue.

I actually think the best argument against the NPV Compact may be found in Article 1, Sec. 3, Clause 10:
quote:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
