We probably wouldn’t be concerned about the Supreme Court imo if ordinary citizen voters had never been given the 17th Amendment power to elect senators and the politically correct power to elect presidents.

More specifically, as a consequence of generations of parents not making sure that their now adult voter children are being taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those power so be understood, constitutionally low-information voters abuse their power to vote for senators and presidents in the following way.

Ordinary voters are clueless that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific powers to establish the benefits and social spending programs that corrupt federal politicians now regularly promise to voters to get themselves elected, unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare a recent example.

In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified that the Founding States had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the feds.

”[…] the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)

So regardless that people are playing the blame game, again, it can be argued that low-information voters have been instrumental in unconstitutionally expanding the powers of the federal government by abusing their voting powers.

The remedy for our constitutionally failed system…

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.

Insights welcome.

To: Amendment10

My own state’s GOP is a dump, some legislative members of which helped pass a bill that effectively allows our dead to vote. I’m guessing that means when somebody dies, he’s not automatically purged from the voter rolls.

For all I know, my late mother has already voted for Biden.
