>> I don’t think any of the first several posters have read the Constitution <<
Not just the “first several” but almost all posters herein.
In fact, it’s hard to recall ever seeing so many ill-informed comments about a constitutional matter anywhere on the Internet.
In my OP I asked the person how they figured we were talking about a bill of attainder. I got back an incorrectly reasoned response. I looked at the majority of responses and figured it was going to take more than I was willing to expend.
I just put it in with the misunderstood free speech issue and let it roll.
A lot of people nowadays seem to confuse voting with ‘Republic’. It’s not. Any state could fget rid of it’s presidential election any time it wanted, and it would be perfectly Constitutional.
