NPV is horrible, and constitutional.
With NPV and a couple of Scotus appointments, the rats won't have to worry about suspending elections in order to remain in power. They won't even have to shutdown debate, intimidate conservatives into silence, or sic the IRS, and FBI on their enemies.
Thanks in part to no opposition from the GOP, our descent into police state hell is happening within the limits of our Frankenstein Constitution, and is perfectly legal.
What I don't understand is the trust so many Freepers have in the GOP wing of the Uniparty. If the GOP can't share in power, they will happily settle for wealth. In fact, they probably prefer it that way.
The language in the article posted is too soft. It’s not an end run, it’s not a circumvention, it’s flat out breach and the GOP better start working on prior restraint, and Congress ought to warn the states that the election will be decertified in an event such an attempt happens.
My guess is they want to get this in place before Obama’s final term ends so that when the Constitutional Crises manifests itself he’ll take action on the side he supports. We know what side that will be.
It’s going to make a great debate question during the election cycle, just start putting the questions to candidates. Will you or will you not support such a breach?
After that, there is nothing to stop the offended states from seceding, except military action. I.E another Civil War.
Article I § 10: "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, ... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State..."
Got this message this morning from COS:
