I was just thinking, “this will move us closer to Civil War II.”

Only this time it won't be over control of the Mississippi River.

No. She works for a private company that does computer forensics for hire for both prosecuting agencies and defense.

At which point the American government, as created by the Founders, will be no more. We will be a defacto democracy, rather than a Constitutional Republic. This will permanently keep whoever can promise the most people "stuff" in office.

It's a damned shame. The Founders really knew what they were doing, in crafting the Republic. The end is near.

Yeah, it really doesn’t make any sense. I asked her once why she thought so highly of Hillary; what had Hillary done to warrant that support? She couldn’t answer with anything substantive. She just said Hillary makes a good senator and the people of New York love her. I asked again, “but what has she done?” She couldn’t answer. This, of course, is all part of the reason why my family considers me a “right-wing extremist”; because I am informed and I ask questions...questions they cannot answer.

U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein is informed it takes three-fourths of the STATES to ratify a constitutional amendment...

And if the electoral college was abandoned you couldn’t bribe a candidate to go to Vermont in the winter to stump.
They’d all go to Calif. N.Y. Penn., Florida and any other place with loads of folks.

Like in Crocodile Dundy, you’d have to go up and grab the crotch on this on to determine its gender.
This is one ugly woman.

She looks like a gangster in that pinstripe suite holding the “evil” AK clone with the ammo drum.

I thought it was a photoshop at first!

She is a gangster of the worst kind.

Thanks for the laugh. I'm glad I didn't have coffee in my mouth.

Thankfully, it takes 2/3 of the votes of both houses of congress plus 3/4 of the states legislatures and a signature by the president to ammend the constitution. Ain’t going to happen DiFi.

“...it is an attempt to tinker with state law in order to influence the outcome of national Presidential elections.”

The breathtaking duplicity of this whore never fails to amaze. In one phrase, she describes her own efforts to do nationally what she won’t allow to be done in her own state.

Feinstein / Blum profiteered, troops died.

I have a feeling were headed toward another civil war, but the next one will be rural conservatives vs. urban liberals.

Agreed, but I don't think the rural/urban distinction is irrelevant. Liberals and Conservatives hate each other regardless of their locations.

A Constitutional amendment that would abolish the Electoral College would almost guarantee a Second Civil War. Imagine recalls nationwide.

Feinstein... the "small" states will not be happy with you... if not for the Electoral College... these "small" states would be trampled and thought of a second class citizens by folks running for president.

Uh, nothing short of a constitutional ammendment will abolish the EC... this is just grandstanding.

The President has no formal role in the amendment process. There's no way three-fourths of the States would ratify such an amendment. Interestingly, the last two times the States voted on a proposed amendment the proposal was rejected. The first was the ERA, the second was a 1978 proposal that would have granted the District of Columbia full representation in the Congress. The States will defend the Constitution against such a proposal, even if the Congress doesn't.

This would effectively mean the Rats only have to stuff the ballot boxes with EXACTLY ONE VOTE to take the White House.

....Or they would only have to throw away ONE military vote. (They’ve got that down pat, too.)

The masters of ballot box stuffing want to make their crimes easier.
