Since there are no Presidential elections in the Constitution, I don't see how a Federal "right to vote" (for President) can exist.
Yes I watched President Trump on FOX
Im watching online with Toby TV
There are no political parties in the Constitution and there is no right to be a candidate.
This will be decided 9-0 against Colorado, there was no case.
Trump’s press conference was excellent, Presidential, confident and well timed.
What thee TDS rulings all have in common is they help Trump. A 9-0 decision here eliminates this “insurrection” CRAP talking points. It will be HUGE for Trump, this state determination is a huge mistake, total backfire, may even help Trump win by very large margins.
The 19th Amendment *was* the beginning of the end of our Republic. In general, women want government to be like their daddy or husband, to provide everything that they need or want. That is not the role of government, the role of government is to preserve individual rights, both domestically and against any foreign adversaries, that would come here to Impose a tyranny. Women are, again generally speaking, incapable of making the hard decisions that national leaders need to make in terms of allocating resources, and facing potential foreign threats. That is not the world that they, generally speaking, live in and they tend to not be very interested . Men, on the other hand, generally do live in the world where hostility and physical violence are at least a potential event, and are thus more prepared to deal in a rational manner with those issues on a national and international level.
Yes, I am definitely generalizing. I can certainly point to my mother and my wife, as being quite rationalwhen it comes to political matters of all stripes, and my 22-year-old daughter is proceeding along the same road. However, in my nearly 63 years of life, they are outliers. Most women are unable to understand how aggressive certain foreign cultures can be, and by their nature they do not project anything to foreign leaders other than weakness. Regarding money matters, while many women are very wise and practical, but many more just spend with reckless abandon, and expect their daddy or husband to provide and pay for everything. They are divorced from reality, and don’t have a good grasp of economics. As an example, around 2010 I had a conversation with a very liberal, very bright, woman attorney about budget deficits. Her comment was, “deficits, don’t matter, they’ll just print more money.“ I was completely floored by the abject idiocy of that statement. We are now dealing with the beginning stages of the failure of our currency because of the massive printing of additional dollars out of thin air since the Covid crisis started in 2020. Are many men equally idiotic? Absolutely. This is why I think that we need to have some kind of a qualification test for voting, which incorporates a mandate that a person have a stake in society. The original test besides being a citizen was that they owned property. That does not necessarily have to be the test now, but there has to be something that prevents people from voting in politicians based upon promises to give those voters more money. That is the very definition of corruption, and it is not just at the level of the politicians, it is at the level of the voters. But, getting back to the subject to hand, women are most definitely worse on average on economic issues.
yup,They are going to lose.
Agree
who’s going to lose? Trump?
The Florida Supreme Court had no role in the appointment of Electors from the State of Florida - NONE.
The Legislature was in session and was prepared to appoint Electors in the event that SCOFLA ordered the appointment of fake Gore electors.
IN the event that the US Constitution had been followed, after two slates of Electors were sent from Florida, there was zero possibility for Gore to have become President. There was a small possibility that Lieberman would have become VP, and from history it’s not really cear if that would have been a bad thing.
“Imagine how badly things went in Oral Argument for proponents of striking Trump from the ballot if even CNN is admitting it’s highly likely that most - if not all — of the Supreme Court Justices will reject Colorado’s decision to ban Trump from the ballot.”(Video)

But if you let one from one party you have to let the one from the other. That’s equal protection and due process.
Senate trials have no legal precedential value because there is no set trial procedure or rules in that setting
Leaders surround themselves with strong people.
Stars surround themselves with ass kissers.
I have voted or Trump four times (NH primaries 2016 and 2024, general 2016 and 2020) and I plan to vote for him again.
If he is elected I will be pleased.
But his inability to select superstar performers to staff his household, his legal teams, and his administrations is a serious problem, probably a character flaw, and if anything good happened during his second term it would probably be an accident.
There is only Trump and a minor candidate in the caucus. Trump willget 97 or98 percent
How many parties are there?
And where in the Constitution are parties mentioned? And how does that relate to State Legislatures having sole power over appointing Electors?
“Show me proof that what happened on J6 was really an “insurrection”.

EXACTLY!!
You are correct that there is no “presidential election” in the Constitution as we now accept the silly Election Day nonsense every four years. However, if a state legislature DOES establish a popular vote as the mechanism for selecting presidential electors (as all 50 states now do), then anything that is done to impede or undermine certain groups of voters would be a blatant violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Congress can refuse to accept any electors from a state if they feel the state’s selection was corrupt. After the civil war electors from Louisiana and Arkansas were not accepted in one election because of fraud
The above phrase has become the Dim slogan in 2024 and should be avoided at all costs on FR. It is INTENTIONAL MISINFORMATION. This country is not a democracy and never has been. The USA is a Constitutional Representative Republic.
Of course there are presidential elections in the Constitution. You might try reading Article II, Section 1 for starters.
