“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,a Number of Electors”
And that language does not allow the states to force the electors to vote for the candidate they are pledged to?
Insanity. No, it is an Obama acolyte.
The US was established as a Federal Republic not a democracy and the electoral college was the means to ensure it was the states that elected the Executive. The intended way to control it was to control the state legislatures in very much the same way the Senate was selected.
