Squaw no realize white man live in Republic not Democracy.
Squaw need to stop speaking on things she know nothing about.
Big Chief Yellow Hair chosen from amoung all tribes. Not just Oneida and Spanish squatters.
And this is what passes off as a law professor making over $400,000 at Harvard.
Our constitution puts limits on any unchecked power, including the arbitrary will of the people. Power at the national level is divided among the three branches, each reflecting a different constituency.
Power is divided yet again between the national government and the states. James Madison noted that these twofold divisions — the separation of powers and federalism — provided a “double security” for the rights of the people.
What about the democratic principle of one person, one vote? Isn’t that principle essential to our form of government? The Founders’ handiwork says otherwise.
Neither the Senate, nor the Supreme Court, nor the president is elected on the basis of one person, one vote.
That’s why a state like Montana, with 883,000 residents, gets the same number of Senators as California, with 33 million people.
Consistency would require that if we abolish the Electoral College, we rid ourselves of the Senate as well. Are we ready to do that?
Commies would prefer only New York and California decide elections, that way the Commies stay in power forever
AMEN and AMEN!!!
Hey Fauxcahontas, after you delete the millions of illegal aliens that voted in Kalifornia and other states, the other fraudulent Dem votes, and the Broward witch destroying Republican ballots, Trump EASILY out-polled the bitch in legitimate votes.
Thank God the framers of the Electoral College had the foresight to predict the kind of slimy tricks the DNC has pulled in an effort to subvert the Constitution.
US Senator Warren needs to study the Constitution and history of the USA. What does/did her indian ancestors say ?
The phrase “healthy democracy” plays better with the useful idiots on the Left than does the term Republic. The real danger in her suggestion is that the candidate who wins in California and New York wins the election, and it won’t be a Republican.
“Healthy Democracy”?
I didn’t think even she is that stupid and she wants to live in the WH? Sheesh
We don’t live in a Democracy you idiot.
Good thing we're a Representative Republic.
So Lizzy is good with MOB Rule?
Great, time to deal with the criminal Invaders, Islamic fanatics and crooked politicians...
Buckle up Liawatha!
Elizabeth Warren - for your information the United States is NOT a “democracy”. It is a Republic.
Also for your information, the founding fathers set up the electoral college as a way to prevent a few states with large populations to RULE FOREVER over citizens of the smaller states.
The way I see it, the Electoral College’s purpose is the same as the US Senate - to preserve sovereign States Rights by limiting the power of large-population States.
So if you want to eliminate the EC, you should also want to eliminate the US Senate.
We aren't a democracy, healthy or otherwise.
As a tribal member, she should know the Chief is elected by the elder representatives.
Go back to your TRIBE, Elizabeth! And stay OFF the Firewater this time!
If that is what Senator Warren thinks, then she can sponsor an amendment to The Constitution to change the Electoral College. It’s worked for over two-hundred years and it should be left alone.
Was your party showing us what a healthy Democracy looks like when your elite picked Hillary over Bernie?
If Hillary getting 3 million votes over Trump was 100% legal, which I doubt, greater minds than Pocahontas were smart enough to put an Electoral College in place so each state could be equally represented. If they held the vote again today, Trump vs. Hillary, we might get a true vision of who got the popular vote from “we the people”.
