The Los Angeles Times has published an editorial arguing that the Electoral College shouldn’t be allowed to choose the next U.S. president, on the grounds that it is unconstitutional.
Needless to say, Kenneth Jost’s argument is a very bold one, since the Constitution explicitly creates the Electoral College and describes how it works; the system was even refined with the 12th Amendment. But Jost, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center, says that’s no barrier to having the Supreme Court abolish the Electoral College by fiat.

Go to h311, LA Times.
If Hillary had won no such commentary would of been made by the LA Slimes. Enough of the sore losing already.
Hmm, since it has been in the Constitution from the beginning, I would say it has proven to be Constitutional. Stupid editorial board, but since it is from the LA Times, that does not surprise me in the least.
And the masks contunue to slip....
The far-left has become unhinged enough to reveal that they are enemies of the Constitution and the Republic.
Part of the Constitution cannot be unconstitutional by definition.
Try it, Obamaholes.
See how important the SC justices are, will be.
The Electoral College is unconstitutional, eh? Amazing that no one realized that until Hillary lost.
The only reason people like him are still alive is because breathing and heart pumping are automatic. If it wasn’t they’d be too stupid to do it themselves.
But passing out state and city funds to anyone who “seems poor” with no questions asked as to their immigration status is constitutional??
No judge has the power to abolish it by fiat. Article VI forbids it.

Right California. The rest of the country voted for Trump, sucks to be you, so just STFU and live with the system that has worked for 240 years.
What’s chilling, is that this clown actually TEACHES law school courses.
So, these moonbats in La La Land think THEY know BETTER than the Founding Fathers?
Yes, let’s have a bunch of moonbats and illegal aliens in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and a handful of other major cities choose the president. Not.
fake news.
For a moment I read that as “The LA Times is unconstitutional and should be banned.” I like that version.
He’s right. The Constitution is no fire-wall if 5 on SCOTUS making a ruling on whatever.
Insane!
I guess that this clown professor never took a class in Constitutional Law...
