Assuming that the GOP wins in 2012, the voters in the states that have already passed this weenie law are gonna be APPALLED.

Don't count on it. I read it over when it managed to squeak through one house here in Michigan. They left themselves an opt out just in case a GOP win was pretty much assured. That way they could back out and force the GOP to win the hard way. All they had to do was opt out 6 months before the general election but the law would remain in place for next time.

States cannot opt out and have the law remain in place for next time.

The bill says:
“Any member state may withdraw from this agreement, except that a withdrawal occurring six months or less before the end of a President’s term shall not become effective until a President or Vice President shall have been qualified to serve the next term.”

If a state withdrew, it would have to re-pass and re-enact the bill to have it be in effect for the next presidential election.
