Poes Law. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/12/2012 01:42:55 PM
It was left to the states to decide how electors are chosen. The states have since decided to hold popular elections to choose a slate of electors. Tomorrow Massachusettes may decide to do it by Rock-Paper-Scissors. It is completely up to the individual states.

The currently used method is completely Constitutional. Eliminating the electoral college is not.

Note the :P at the end of my comment. Though if we want to be technical about it, eliminating the electoral college is wholly constitutional via Article V.

SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia is brilliant, just brilliant - Anonymous2000 - 11/12/2012 05:09:19 AM 1251 Views
WTF does "I don’t care what their intent was. I care what it was that they intended" mean? Joel - 11/12/2012 09:03:23 PM 772 Views
Yeah I read that twice to see if that was right *NM* Dark Knight - 11/12/2012 09:36:55 PM 359 Views
Part of me pities Scalias decline, because he could once nimbly and convincly argue black is white. Joel - 12/12/2012 07:09:56 PM 750 Views

Florida state law does not and did not prohibit statewide recounts. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:45:52 PM 723 Views
Spoken like a true lib.....I could have written that for you. Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 05:08:42 AM 774 Views
The people of WA and CO just decided pot should be legal; think Scalia agrees? Joel - 12/12/2012 07:25:11 PM 746 Views
FreshMints decided that the almond aroma of radioactive arsenic is very pleasing... HyogaRott - 12/12/2012 08:09:39 PM 780 Views
I am aware of Scalias "logic," and his rejection of it about a year later with Robamacare. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:51:16 PM 752 Views
But you didn't. Dannymac - 13/12/2012 04:06:05 PM 760 Views
Yup, yup; the Constitution is all about majority rule WITH minority rights. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:56:15 PM 729 Views
Your whole rant lacks any logic HyogaRott - 12/12/2012 03:46:34 PM 797 Views
+1 - logic is not his strong suit. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 04:21:09 PM 313 Views
His comment references the authors (NOT words) intent in both negative and affirmative. Joel - 12/12/2012 06:45:02 PM 726 Views

Only nominally. Joel - 16/12/2012 03:54:38 PM 745 Views
I was stumped by his phrasing as well A Deathwatch Guard - 12/12/2012 09:31:53 PM 636 Views
But we must go by his words and his understanding of their meaning, without interpretation. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:40:23 PM 736 Views
The SCotUS is no place for raging homophobes. Mndrew - 13/12/2012 04:48:30 AM 888 Views
Sorry you don't like it, but what he said is true. HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 03:11:42 PM 786 Views
Lol. Homophobia is synonymous w/ homonegativism. It's not meant to convey a true phobia *NM* kHz1000 - 13/12/2012 03:28:01 PM 429 Views
Only for people who don't know actually know how to read and understand words. Nice spin though. *NM* HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 05:54:29 PM 307 Views
So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? Jeordam - 13/12/2012 09:56:15 PM 825 Views
Re: So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? kHz1000 - 13/12/2012 11:16:46 PM 762 Views
-phobe : Greek -phobos, adj. derivative of phóbos fear, panic HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 11:32:14 PM 784 Views
Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 01:30:24 AM 714 Views
xenophobia is the fear of the alien... WTF are you trying to say? HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 03:03:09 AM 775 Views
No. You are patently, objectively incorrect. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 08:39:00 AM 691 Views
An aside. Stephen - 14/12/2012 01:21:32 PM 775 Views
Don't believe me, ask a Greek it is after all THEIR word. I gave you some extra capitals, happy now? *NM* HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 02:56:09 PM 427 Views
stop being obtuse moondog - 14/12/2012 05:10:41 PM 754 Views
Hmmmm lets see, people misuse a word, perverting its meaning... HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 07:29:11 PM 716 Views
If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:23 PM 716 Views
Re: If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it. Novo - 15/12/2012 12:12:18 AM 826 Views
Always good to have your backing. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/12/2012 03:50:14 AM 378 Views
and if everryone jumps off a cliff to splatter on the rocks I should just be a good little lemming. HyogaRott - 15/12/2012 07:13:27 AM 649 Views
actually, you have already chosen stupid by pretending the word means something it does not moondog - 15/12/2012 03:34:35 PM 685 Views
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, my friend John would strenuously disagree. HyogaRott - 16/12/2012 06:50:19 AM 797 Views
and you are a small-minded buffoon who can't come up with real arguments so you resort to nitpicking moondog - 17/12/2012 11:48:25 PM 716 Views
Double post. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:50 PM 334 Views
