This is exactly the thing that clause was intended to prevent, groups of states banding together outside the auspices of the federal government to contravene the US Constitution.

Where did you get that from? They intend to seek Congressional approval.

Is that in the text of the law somewhere? I thought the only requirement was that states representing 270 EV had to pass the law for it to take effect. If the law also states that Congressional approval is required, let us know - I am sure that will give some of us a little relief...

Intending to seek Congressional approval and actually having a chance in hell of getting it are two different things. And just the fact that they’re intending to seek it says that they recognize that they need it. I’d say my point is pretty strong.
