Article 1, Section 3, Clause 3
“No State, shall, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF CONGRESS, lay any Duty of tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, ENTER ANY AGREEMENT OR COMPACT WITH ANOTHER STATE, or with a foreign POWER, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
Yes I agree on both points. There is wide latitude, but only a trained lawyer could agree that allowing people outside your political body make decisions for your group is representative government. On the other hand, the members of the Supreme Court are all trained lawyers.
New Mexico has become inundated with the invading illegals.
“They are Progressives.”
NO THEY ARE NOT PROGRESSIVES!
I hate that word.
They are REGRESSIVES! They want to re-institute the old authoritarian past where tyrants and kings ruled the land and people belonged to the ruler and were not free.
I wish people would not use the word progressives since the true progressives were the Founding Fathers to devise a new style of government that recognized the people as sovereign and not the other way around.
So, Trump won Ohio by 9 points, and, in this scenario, Ohio’s electors would have had to cast their votes for Hitlery if this compact had been effect in 2016, (in spite of that fact that Hitlery stole the popular vote with illegal voters)?
This is how civil wars get started.

You are wrong. They are “Progressives” because they see themselves as a movement to change humanity by “progressing” us to a higher level, the New Man. They have called themselves Progressives for a full century, so for communications purposes, we use their own term. Calling them “Regressives” (which they don’t think they are because they see those old authoritarian days as something that “Old Man” did) is just name-calling and prevents any possibility of conversation.
On a superficial level, they seem to be succeeding in changing minds (Millennials), but the hypocrisy of their movement is exposed in how these “New Men” choose to interact—by resorting to “old Man”, authoritarianism.
Don’t get mad at the word. Use it. Show them their hypocrisy.
Note: the Founding Fathers were progressive, but were not Progressives. You can see this by the Bill of Rights. They understood that the nature of Man would not change in the new nation and they put safeguards in place to keep the old European lust for power in check. A Progressive foolishly believes that you can change the nature of Man in the absence of divine action. This is why I call them Progressives, as they wish, because it proves the folly of their beliefs.
Usually....both.
Actually, it did run out of time, and Congress extended the deadline. Even that was not enough.
These days, though, the government just acts as if it had passed anyway.
The time period for ERA was extended. Also Elizabeth Schlafly took up the call to defeat the ERA when 28 states had approved. Seven more approved however 5 unapproved ( word?) and she changed the course of that amendment. Think 35 states will vote to do away with the electoral college?
Convention of states necessary. Don’t have the votes... .even if. Right?
But this is what happens when a liberal FedGov lets states violate stuff like immigration jurisdiction , allowing ‘ sanctuary cities’: precedent.
No more, no more.
The irony of this idiocy will be that when Trump wins reelection in 2020 with electoral AND popular vote majorities (like Bush in 2004), California, New York, and Massachusetts will end up casting their electoral votes for Trump!
The libs don’t want international borders. Nor do they want state borders. They’re trying to find a way to lord over all of us deplorables.
