The National Popular vote

So what is wrong with "mob rule/majority imposed menatlity" as long as it comes about through lawful elections and not via street mobs?

Sure. We can do that. So how loud are you going to cry when the majority rules that teachers can make prayer mandatory in school and give whiney little boys gold stars if they go to Sunday school?

The Constitution does not allow even a majority to violate the Constitution. Otherwise we would have had government sponsored / supported religion of some kind decades or centuries ago.

It is being violated daily with socialist entitlement programs.

It is being violated daily in the name of terrorism.

It is being violated daily for a number of reasons.

How many tax and spend liberals will sell out as Mike Huckabee did for the 3 G's?

It's only a matter of time until you have christians willing to trade spending for their agenda and if you think the TC's and Stephanies of the world can stand up to the majority if that happens, your sadly mistaken Frank.

Ziggy,

I think states using proportional representation in choosing their legislatures is an excellent idea. That would open up the state governments to 3rd and 4th parties and we desperately need alternatives. Then, perhaps, small parties can gain the traction they need to compete nationally.

I don't view PR as being compatible with the electoral college, however, as a majority of electors is needed to choose the President, or else it goes to the House of Representatives (with each state getting one vote--another advantage to the small states).

Then file an action to have the Courts review and rule on it. The Constitution directs the Courts to settle conflict questions involving the law and the Constitution.

I see you're still whining over the other thread Frank.

Get over it and move on.
