Constitution? Wazzat?
Don’t think CONgress change the Constitution via a Bill.
NO WAY will I ever support this nonsense on the EC. It is the only thing standing between me, here in Alaska, and the welfare hordes of NYC.
“More than a century ago, we amended our Constitution to provide for the direct election of U.S. Senators,” he added. “
And just look how that’s “worked out!”
I often wonder why I have to provide a thumb print to get a drivers license, but if I have to show an ID to vote I’m being repressed? The only thing I can come up with is government corruption.
Let’s do away with congressional districts and make them at large elections too. That would put Cohen out of a job for sure
Now they gotta change the Constitution without the Senate, Supreme Court or the Executive branch's help.
Those are changes to the constitution. They require more than simple legislative bills
They will never get two-thirds in the House. This is kabuki political theater.
“Outdated electoral college”? Because all of this country would be just fine with california and new york deciding presidential elections. He’s just a tad out of touch.
If the margin were real, legal votes, they would have the beginning of an argument. Wisely, the Founders set up the EC to offset the tyranny of pure democracy.
You can’t just introduce a bill to make a change to the constitution. Frigging idiots.
So the dems would be saying today Trump won the presidency if he would have had the popular vote but Hillary won the electoral college? they’d be demanding change if that happened?
Socialists. godam socialists. Rope and lampposts, people.
The Fools on The Hill have become the Loony Toons in the Loony Bin.
RATS are really good at stupidity. Pure unadulterated crap.
A damn stupid mistake we must never allow to happen again.
Grandstanding BS. They might as well try to eliminate the executive branch with a congressional bill, BWAAAhahahah, no can do.
How about a bill that imposes a $100,000 fine upon any Congressperson who authors and submits a bill that specifically contradicts black and white wording in the Constitutuion that they swore to uphold when they took office?
If patriots supported PDJT in working with the states to politically “force” the corrupt feds to surrender state powers that they have been stealing from the states back to the states, and also put a stop to the feds stealing state revenues which the feds do by means of unconstitutional taxes, then Dems and RINOs would lose interest in DC imo.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” — Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"The “Holy Grail” of organized crime is to control government power to tax." —me
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically competing, corrupt voter unions, union dues paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.” —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
Stopping the feds from stealing state powers and state revenues would be made permanent if patriots also supported PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments imo.
