Why the wasted effort?

They didn't want the lawsuit?

How can you actually post here? That takes typing and thus far, you have not proven to be smart enough to be able to do even that. You must dictate your posts to someone...

Look dumbass, the USSC cannot deem the Constitution unConstitutional. It is not possible. If it is clearly in the document, which it is, it cannot be unConstitutional. An amendment would be needed.

Why are you here floor licker?

Which I why I need to be the despot. I would definitely use lawfare to derail any compact of states that overrides the Constitution.

There are definitely going to be some cowards that cross over. I think Dems will be able to get to the 60 threshold easily on a number of things. I just hope those Senators that cross over get the full Benedict Arnold treatment.

So, interpretations of the Constitution cannot change over time? Is that what you just argued?? Lol ok well the job of the Judicial Branch is to interpret the Constitution and I know this is difficult for you BUT the people reading it determine how it is understood. If they determine the EC to no longer be applicable to a modern society then what recourse would there be to stop them? Boy wonder see yourself out

No that’s not what would happen, there would be republican presidents but their platform would much more closely resemble the platform of today’s dnc while simultaneously the current dnc would look more like the DSA.

They call this the Overton window.

It’s also how they slowly boil us alive without us realizing the water temp is getting catastrophically high.

Correct, and it’s already happening. Trump is literally Hitler for enforcing the border even though both parties used to support it

Yes they did.

The entire purpose of the electoral college is that we are a republic, not a democracy and larger states shouldn't have the right to dictate everything to the smaller states.

You're literally making shite up right now.

We are a republic, not a democracy. You shouldn't even be voting on senators.

They will not determine the electoral college to not be a modern part but a literal Supreme Court could certainly determine that states can follow the compact and choose electors in any way they want

And yet we are voting on Senators, and the 2nd amendment has been questioned and challenged many times along with several other amendments. I don’t know why it’s so difficult to grasp that a leftwing SC could do enormous damage to the Constitution and country. I suspect it’s because the people having the most difficult time grasping this very real possibility are the same ones who cheered the loudest for this outcome, amirite? It feels like buyer’s remorse

You said the founders didn't intend the EC to do what it's doing. They absolutely did.

As for your moving goal posts, most people do not want that crap, nor does the democrat party have any power to do such things right now.

I never said anything remotely close to being against what the Founders intended. I am merely stating what the Court will theoretically argue and that would be an end to it. There is absolutely nothing to stop such a ruling

Oh, well they are wrong.

And again, there isn't anything they can do right now because they do not have the power to over-ride the veto.

Let's hope the GOP pulls it's head out of it's arse in the next 2 years. Because I'm still not going to vote for a neocon in 2028.

Neither will I but that’s the problem if enough voters stay home, even for valid results, it has the same effect as voting for the Left. I am afraid MAGA will stay home, if they do it’s over.

Electoral college is toast. With CA and TX both blue, Dems will abolish it as planned. If they were smart they would leave it though. They could never lose another election with 2/3 of the necessary votes

The new liberal majority SC will simply rule the EC unconstitutional
That would be quite a trick.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows

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.

They are absolutely gonna move as hard left as possible. They are comminist or Muslim and loathe the American idea. Once they have control then the Muslims and communists will battle, they are not comptable.

Y’all continue to overthink this. It only takes a challenge making its way through favorable avenues of the court system and a majority of justices on the SC taking it up. Then, said court opines some bs decision about disenfranchising voters and its muted to the point of being worthless. Nothing could stop them except the notion that “it’s in the Constitution” which is nothing more than empty words by that point. I am sure the Democrat majority Senate would hold the court in contempt and impeach a justice or two lol

You’re right. They're the final arbiter of interpreting the constitution so if enough of them decide to align with whatever these states do we’re screwed.
