Anyone want to comment on post #26?
A lot of the procedures involved in the election of president and vice president are hard coded in the Constitution in Article II, and the 12th and 25th Amendments. They are a matter of black letter law. The rest are based on acts of Congress.
The federal courts have no authority in this matter. The state legislatures do. Congress does.
I won’t dispute that and I”m too lazy to google, but that’s hardly comparable. It was a local election, maybe there was good evidence of vote fraud, that could happen and in a small race (that is a race with very few people voting) it could control the outcome.
I won’t address whether I think awarding the seat to the loser was the right thing to do without finding out more about it. But this is not comparable to a nationwide vote. Pres & VP are the ONLY votes taken of the entire nation, everything else is voted for on the state level even if it’s a federal office. And there are many protections built in to the constitution, the electoral college, what to do in case of a tie, etc.
In fact, I think the most recent season of the HBO Comedy show “Veep” went through every single one.
About the only thing that could keep Trump of of the WH now would be a large number of “faithless electors” and I just don’t see that happening.
Everything they are saying about Trump they said about Romney and, aside from business success, the 2 guys have pretty much NOTHING in common. So, only the lefty choir believes their preaching any more. And re-electing Pelosi speaker is just pathetic.
The times they really are a changing, again. My kid is 30, those kids are coming into their own. And actually very few of them need coloring books and a “safe space”. But I would say to the dems, you’re doing great, don’t ever change!
