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 1277 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 799 Views
Yeah I read that twice to see if that was right *NM* Dark Knight - 11/12/2012 09:36:55 PM 375 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 782 Views

Florida state law does not and did not prohibit statewide recounts. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:45:52 PM 748 Views
Spoken like a true lib.....I could have written that for you. Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 05:08:42 AM 795 Views
The people of WA and CO just decided pot should be legal; think Scalia agrees? Joel - 12/12/2012 07:25:11 PM 772 Views
FreshMints decided that the almond aroma of radioactive arsenic is very pleasing... HyogaRott - 12/12/2012 08:09:39 PM 802 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 781 Views
But you didn't. Dannymac - 13/12/2012 04:06:05 PM 779 Views
Yup, yup; the Constitution is all about majority rule WITH minority rights. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:56:15 PM 772 Views
Your whole rant lacks any logic HyogaRott - 12/12/2012 03:46:34 PM 822 Views
+1 - logic is not his strong suit. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 04:21:09 PM 331 Views
His comment references the authors (NOT words) intent in both negative and affirmative. Joel - 12/12/2012 06:45:02 PM 752 Views

Only nominally. Joel - 16/12/2012 03:54:38 PM 775 Views
I was stumped by his phrasing as well A Deathwatch Guard - 12/12/2012 09:31:53 PM 656 Views
But we must go by his words and his understanding of their meaning, without interpretation. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:40:23 PM 760 Views
The SCotUS is no place for raging homophobes. Mndrew - 13/12/2012 04:48:30 AM 912 Views
Sorry you don't like it, but what he said is true. HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 03:11:42 PM 807 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 451 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 328 Views
So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? Jeordam - 13/12/2012 09:56:15 PM 843 Views
Re: So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? kHz1000 - 13/12/2012 11:16:46 PM 784 Views
-phobe : Greek -phobos, adj. derivative of phóbos fear, panic HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 11:32:14 PM 807 Views
Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 01:30:24 AM 733 Views
xenophobia is the fear of the alien... WTF are you trying to say? HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 03:03:09 AM 798 Views
No. You are patently, objectively incorrect. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 08:39:00 AM 717 Views
An aside. Stephen - 14/12/2012 01:21:32 PM 805 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 445 Views
stop being obtuse moondog - 14/12/2012 05:10:41 PM 777 Views
Hmmmm lets see, people misuse a word, perverting its meaning... HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 07:29:11 PM 739 Views
If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:23 PM 738 Views
Re: If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it. Novo - 15/12/2012 12:12:18 AM 852 Views
Always good to have your backing. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/12/2012 03:50:14 AM 397 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 676 Views
actually, you have already chosen stupid by pretending the word means something it does not moondog - 15/12/2012 03:34:35 PM 707 Views
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, my friend John would strenuously disagree. HyogaRott - 16/12/2012 06:50:19 AM 818 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 741 Views
Double post. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:50 PM 357 Views
