I wonder what he means.

Constitution Amendment XII:

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; — The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; — The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; ...

Merriam-Webster:

mandate: an authorization to act given to a representative

Is the Senator from Pennsylvania demonstrating that he doesn't understand the Constitution, or the English language, or both?

ML/NJ

What I believe this horrific so called republican (hardly) senator is doing is getting his face out before the public, trying to assure his next reelection by giving the LEFTIST MEDIA SOUNDBITES due to the fact that he hails from a state that went for BUSH.

He is so selfish, so cowardly (not voting to impeach that intern porking, committer of perjury, bill klinton), so INTERESTED in saving his own JOB that he is willing to trash our President and our party and diminish the FABOULOUS MANDATE OUR PRESIDENT RECEIVED in order to protect his own turf.

He makes me sick.

He is so different in stature from President Bush and his team and the genuinely strong men and women in congress who hold to the ideals/ values of our republican party.

I am so angry at this blubbering, evasive, hurtful, selfish, weak, publicity seeking creep I couls spit.

Shame on this man.

Wish I could tell him so to his face.

I hope someone gives this boob one solid spanking. I am SICK OF ARLEN and JOHN McCain giving the media soundbites in order to play to their favor in return for the press exposure.

Arlen is not a REAL MAN WHO STANDS SOLID WITH THE BELIEFS OF HIS PARTY.

Arlen is a weak man who PLAYS to both sides to keep his job.....and since his state did not go for Bush...he wants to make sure those Kerry voters LIKE HIM.

Poo on Arlen. He joins the weak and the selfish and SHOULD DECLARE HIMSelf a DEMOCRAT and get it over with....we do NOT WANT HIM ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. He is an underminer of our values...NOT a voice for our values.

Arlen has done this before and he will do it again...he is weak...and puts himself above all else.

This man would NEVER sacrifice anything to uphold the values we hold dear.

Enjoy the kisses from the press corp who love your soundbites Arlen....they are as lacking in genuine meaning as your so called membership in the repbulican party is.
