Sounds like barratry and conspiracy to me.
First of all, if the framers intended to apply that absurd assertion, they failed to place it in the body of the Constitution or anywhere in the Federalist papers. They labored over those documents for 15 years!
I have failed to find "vote their conscience" and "popular vote" anywhere in the Constitution.
Further, very clearly, so that even idiots can understand it, all rules for citizenship and elections are the Sole Power of the States, and reinforced by the Ninth Amendment.
No common bill, passed by any bicameral Congress can eliminate or expand on the Constitutional limited enumerated powers.
That's what the clear Amendment process is for.
Snowflakes. They knew the rules going in.
I don’t see where they would have standing to contest a law which wouldn’t affect their votes, unless they said they wanted to vote for Stein or some write-in. Plaintiffs must show a personal interest in the suit in order to assure the court they have a real interest in winning the case. You generally have to show real injury to have standing. This is why Michigan stopped the recount for Stein, because she couldn’t show she would have a personal gain from overturning the vote.

The Blueprint: How the Democrats Won Colorado (and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care)
It’s been blurbed by everyone from liberals... to conservatives including former Gov. Bill Owens and Hugh Hewitt- this is an even-handed take, not a takedown, and is well worth your time.”
- Gabbur
“Every conservative should read ‘The Blueprint.’ It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the Left has built its machine.”
- Red State Blog
“...Provides fascinating insights into one of the most sustained and coordinated political efforts in recent history.”
- Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire
The right don't like big government, unless it's THEIR big government.
the answer is NO vote as you are obligated to do...and then give up your assignment....you are worthless.
Methinks that your senility meds need to be increased, honey...
It's the Left that's doing all of the unhinged whining.
the minute that California residents came pouring in.....they are tying to change Colorado into the hellhole that they just escaped from......amazing !!!
I think that would be true only if it were so decided by the Supreme Court. A decision by the federal court in Colorado would cover only Colorado; an appeal would go to whatever circuit Colorado is in and would cover only that circuit.
Sure, NOW they are, but prior to the election, there's been far too much whining and moaning about term limits, an issue the right USED to be strongly opposed to.
“The Constitution puts the method of selecting electors in the hands of the states, but it doesn’t say states can dictate what the electors do. “
Yes it does because states can demand that electoral selection is contingent upon the elector being faithful to the will of the people. Several states actually have this encoded in law. Unfaithful electors will be removed and replaced. So yes, states can and do dictate what the electors must do.
Well all the idiots who screwed up CA left and brought their idiot children with them.
I hope Polly and Robert understand that they will have to go home one day.

You must have a different version of the U.S. Constitution than I do, Skippy...
To further clarify things, THE HISTORIC CONSTITUTIONAL HAND GRENADE, THE 17TH AMENDMENT, MUST BE REPEALED.
If you can't see what they're doing, you're among the confused. They want to weaken the link between the results of a statewide election and the electoral college. Look past 2016, my friend. It is very obvious.
“When did Colorado get so effedup?”
Well, Colorado has been marching to a different drummer for decades, but all the transplants from California over the past 30 years have sent it over the edge.
When YOU, Dear Elector, go to the voting booth on election day, you have the right and responsibility to vote how ever you want, for whatever reasons are important to YOU.
But, when you vote as an ELECTOR, you are there to represent the PEOPLE of your state, and THEIR will because you go as a representative. You are not there for just YOURSELF.
>>>>They both say Trump and Pence are not qualified. <<<<
What are the Constitutional qualifications for President? Those are the only qualifications you, as an elector, need to concern yourself with.
