The EC is doomed. Won't be abolished, will be proportionalized Colorado-style. Take that to the bank.

It will still give small states more clout, and since it will take small state votes to eliminate it, it ain't gonna happen. Try again.

You can't impeach a judge because you don't like his decisions or ideology. You can only impeach a judge for high crimes and misdemeanors.

And if you decide that blatant disregard for the Constitution fits that category, you can impeach him.

If we had negative-nancies like you back in 1775, we'd still be singing "God Save the [King/Queen]"

If we had folks like you planning the revolution, we would have gotten our butts kicked - the leaders eventually realized the reality of the British Army's general superiority and then learned how to fight it otherwise. Acting like it wasn't superior got a lot of American soliders killed in pitched battle during the early years. The point is, you can say the current reality is irrelevant, but in doing so you're going to get bit in the butt.

Yeah, and maybe I'll win Powerball and retire. Ain't gonna happen. And if, theoretically, it did, how could a judiciary stop it?

The Judiciary does that all the time in stopping laws that Congress passed and the President signed. Try again.

Not exactly. Clinton was impeached; he just wasn't convicted by a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

Last I checked, that consitutes surviving impeachment.

Come back when you can make a coherent point, and you can have the last word. I've got better things to do.
