If you look at the site, you will find their rationale for using compacts among the states as the constitutional basis for the arrangement. There is no doubt that they are trying to circumvent the need for a constitutional amendment to eliminate the electoral college and allow direct election of a President and VP. It needs to be stopped now.
Wow, even more nonsense. That dog doesn't hunt. The Constitution is the compact between the states that all have agreed to, including the supremacy clause. Some states amongst themselves cannot make a side deal to subvert that bargain that all made in direct violation of that same supremacy clause as well as the clause governing the process of amendment. It is a fundamental tenant of legal construction that where the law provides a way to do something it thereby precludes all unmentioned ways to do the same thing.
The constitutional requirement for amending the constitution is an inevitable (not to be evaded) procedural right possessed by we the people. It isn't in the power of some of the states among themselves to agree to waive that process.
Exactly correct. A stinking end-run around the requirement for a constitutional amendment. This is really fetid and flies in the face of our sacred constitution...but, as we all know, the Progs have for 100 years detested the Constitution, so it is no surprise. What IS surprising is the strong Republican support in various state houses and state house committees that the author cites. That is extremely alarming. It clearly demonstrates how degraded our civics education has been the past 50 years.
