The Constitution being torn up to fit Democrats. Imposing bill to rid itself of being a republic.

[driftdiver]

Well it would save a lot of carbon credits. After all only about 4 states would be required to get the win.

[proxy_user]

He is doing it right. No court rulings or backdoor deals.

Of course, he’s unlikely to get 3/4 of the states to ratify it.

[Don Corleone]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

[Crazieman]

The end of America already happened with the 17th amendment.

This is all window dressing.

[tbpiper]

I always thought he flew one shuttle mission too soon.

Once again, these morons think they’re smarter than our Founding Fathers. The only way you can prevent California and New York from deciding our presidential elections is the Electoral College. But, hey, we’re about to seat a Kenyan-born, illegal alien as president, so to hell with the Constitution. Libs know better.

[PurpleMan]

Sheesh. It’s a proposed amendment. Not the first time being that the 12th amendment changed presidential voting by the electoral college in 1804 and the 23rd gave electors to DC. in 1961.

I don’t want to see the EC go away but “we (or they) the people” have that choice to ratify it.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Go to hell, Bill.

[river rat]

Now that the nation is inhabited by perhaps the lowest forms of humans, with the least admirable abilities or most unable to fend for themselves -— we want to undo MORE of the Founder's wisdom who greatly restricted those who could vote.

Now is NOT the time to remove the mechanism set up to prevent mob rule by the most populous states....

[Anti-Bubba182]

One thing, nobody will have to go to Iowa or New Hampshire again, just turn out the numbers in your strong areas, including the dead vote, and you can't miss.

[advance_copy]

So Nelson thinks he’s smarter than James Madison. Well, I got news for him, he’s not, not by a long shot.

[river rat]

In the Congress we have today - there are NONE wise enough to question the wisdom of our founders..

NONE.

[Eye of Unk]

Sounds to me like desperate attempts to skirt around the POTUS eligibility issue.

Whats next, a military coup? Though I doubt Hussein O will get much support from American Armed Forces.

I am almost able to accept concepts of out of the blue scenarios right now manufactured by Obamas handlers, something massive to divert attention away from his dual citizenship problem.

[The Great RJ]

Imagine a presidential race being fought like the current Franken/Coleman race in Minnesota? We could be without a President for years of litigation.

[kbennkc]

Fine . Me and my animals will secede from the Union . We won't make the same mistakes the south made because we are keeping it quiet .

[Will88]

“U.S. Senator Bill Nelson will again introduce a constitutional amendment in January, to abolish the electoral college. Nelson had introduced it in June 2008 as SJR 39, but it made no headway.”

Well, don’t do a half-assed job of it, Nelson. Include in your amendment that the U.S. Senate should have its seats apportioned based on population. Both the two senators per states, and the electoral college come from the same need to compromise when the union was formed. Or, heck, just abolish the U. S. Senate and base everything purely on population and popular vote: a U. S. House only and popular election of the president.

[clintonh8r]

Ths load of crap thinks he represents me.

[PhilDragoo]

[TomGuy]

If this ever did change, the smaller states would become insignficant regarding presidential elections.

Now, many of them become important in the election.

We do not need NYC, LA, Chicago, and a few other major cities determining the president.

The Founding Fathers had more sense than the entire crop of politicians in Washington.

Leave it alone, Senator Nelson.

[upchuck]

According to this story in the Tampa Tribune of December 22, U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D) will again introduce a constitutional amendment in January

Sorry. Just a clarification.
