Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
Quote:Well ... we have NEVER had in our Constitution direct citizen vote for the President. So ... f*ck the Constitution?
Quote:Who said “direct?” Who said f@ck it? You and you only - bad dodge. What’s the electoral college? What’s an amendment?
Quote:From now on it'll just depend on which party has the right number of congress reps and F*ck citizens voting.
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. (The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not lie an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; a quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two-thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice-President.) (This clause in parentheses was superseded by the 12th Amendment.) The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: And once again, CC can't point to the US Constitutional amendment where the everday US citizen is guaranteed a vote that selects the president. Who determines the Electoral College is determined by each state, and - to point this out once again - there is NO Constitutional guarantee that the citizen vote determines what the states do.

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: And yet - despite many amendments - TO THIS VERY DAY - the Electoral College is how the President is selected, with no Constitutional guarantee that anybody's vote for President counts at all. But what the heck! Eff the Constitution! Right?

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: "because whoever happened to be empowered by the Electoral College saw the advantages of keeping it" Who would that be? And BTW, despite the MANY Constitutional changes to say, slavery, and who gets to vote, the Electoral College is STILL the law of the land. And there is STILL no Constitutional provision guaranteeing that any citizen vote for President counts for anything. ETA: But if you can point out to me that whatever is being done is outside the Constitution, we could have a discussion about that.

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: So, what Trump is doing regarding the elections is Constitutional? I'm kind of waiting for your response. In your very roundabout way, it sounds like that's what you mean. You find it "evil" but not necessarily unconstitutional. Right?

Quote:Originally posted by THG: Ranting and raving claiming election fraud, while not presenting any evidence of it in 50 or more separate court cases so far, is not following the constitution. Improperly trying to throw out millions of votes is not following the constitution. It’s an attempt at a coup. What’s more disturbing though is how many support this idiot.
