America needs Mob Rule.
Oh wait, ... America needs MORE Mob Rule.
State Compact attacts Federal
Likewise
County District Compact attacks State & their compact
... Counties get moving ...
What next if states try to adopt this?
“What next if states try to adopt this?”
Dissolving the Republic...
it is fascinating, imho, that the proponents of this scheme deliberately avoided any of the several constitutional means for getting what they wanted
Most other analyses miss the key issue emphasized here: Can the states bypass the Constitutional amendment process when they object to a provision of the Constitution in a case that clearly contradicts the Founders’ intent?
The answer is that they cannot, at least without nullifying the rest of the Constitution as well.
Too many people argue secondary issues instead of this main one.
Also, each state was guaranteed a “republican form of government.” This pact changes the state into a Hugo Chavez style democracy, where 51% dictate to the 49%.
They are already and it better be nipped in the bud pronto.
I would think a SCOTUS vhallenge could not fail ss long as the EC remains in the Constitution. The states elect the POTUS: that is accepted by these advocates. Well if the state runs an election for presidential electirs and candidste X wins but the electors for losing candidate Y are chosen to vote then the majority of state voters have had their vote erased. Thus a state has ignored the voters in favor of voters in other states. This flies in the face of one man one vote as the votes of many are ignored. I cannot see less than a 7-2 with only RBG and Sotomayer dissenting.

It amounts to secession. IMO.
Well its clear they are violating the Compact clause of the Constitution.
Well. If the Norks drop the big one on that red area, would we all be better off?
While the NPV is a horrid corruption, it doesn’t violate Article II or Article IV. Scotus loves democracy and elevated voting to a fundamental right.
This fraudulent plan isn't...and won't be.
I’ve often made the same argument that you did in your post 9 and surprisingly many people here disagree with us.
