ISAIAH 41:11-13
11”Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored; Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
12”You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them, Those who war with you will be as nothing and non-existent.
13”For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’

I’m going to have to stop looking at FR until after the Inauguration.
Every day there are stories posted like this one that make me more and more nervous.

uhh.....it’s in the CONSTITUTION!!
What exactly is their basis for filing suit?
That the Constitution is Unconstituional?
To: drewh
“Leaders of the effort, mainly Democrats, have plans to challenge laws in the 29 states that force electors to support their partys candidate. Those laws have never been tested, leaving some constitutional experts to argue theyre in conflict with the founders intention to establish a body that can evaluate the fitness of candidates for office and vote accordingly.”
So, when did liberals become enamored of the concept of “original intent”. I thought liberals believed in the “living constitution”.

The question here is not to what extent will the left go to undermine the Constitution, but how far can those who still believe in the Constitution and the rule of law be pushed?

Are we about to learn the real reason for Scalia's death?
Was Hillary wins the Presidency Plan A?
Was it just an insurance policy that would only be needed if it became necessary to execute Plan B?

To: SandyInSeattle
Congress and the states simply will not amend the Electoral College out of existence. It’s a complete non-starter. And I would say the same about any attempt to modify how it works. It would have to be a constitutional amendment. No way it would make it through the process. The state governments are 3 out of 5 Republican-controlled. And most states realize they have a vested interest in the status quo.

Even if they succeed, it won't have any effect on the current results. I'm pretty certain the Constitution prohibits anything like a Bill of Attainder or laws with a retroactive application. Moreover, it's pretty obvious than none of these idiots has ever really passed a basic American History course. Certainly, they'd flunk in my class. All my 8th graders understood the necessity for the college on November 9th. That's because I carefully took the extra time to re-explain the concepts.

These thugs want to remove the law which in reality protects both the voters and the electors from criminal intimidation. So then why should these thugs be protected by law?

To: JediJones
When this country was founded there was no consistent method for choosing electors. Some of them were elected, some were appointed by state legislatures, etc. Also, let's remember that the Constitution seems to be written in a way that suggests the founders expected most presidents to be elected in the special election in Congress, not in the initial Electoral College vote.
With all this in mind, it's hard to tell what the founders would think of what we have today.
At least now, if the candidate decides to murder his entire family on live TV after being elected, we have a way for to get avoid putting him in office.
This has nothing to do with the electoral vote. He would be subject to criminal prosecution under the laws of the state where this occurred.

Anyone have any .280 Remington cases they want to part with?
The Apache gunships won't have any problem chewing you up with their M230 regardless of caliber you're firing. Especially since you won't even see them.

The feds have no legal authority over the states’ management of their own electors.
At least that’s the way I see it.
