A lot has changed! States, too beholden to their political class, have been pushing to outlaw faithless electors. It used to be that faithless electors were an extra check against stupid voters who, when they discovered the election was actually between Kang and Kodos, voted for Kang. The electors could ignore the ballot count and vote for H. Ross Perot, the only actual human in the running. With this ruling, we’re stuck listening to the stupid voters instead of their intellectual betters: the electoral college.

I really hate when the federal powers pass responsibility down to the states for things that should obviously be consistent nation wide. Like grow a damn ballsack and just do something that isn't at a snail's pace already. See everyone in 2055 when the last southern state finally legalizes marijuana while half the country has been enjoying it legally. Or god forbid, if something like UBI gets passed and only certain states get to enjoy it. Medicare for all (and not just old people) etc.

to further expound on this, alabama and florida both use a red cross of st. andrews as the basis of their flag, and while it does invoke the confederate battle standard, it can also invoke the Spanish Cross of Burgundy, and is also just a really weird symbol to get touchy about (IMO) as it's like, also in other flags that have nothing to do with the confederacy Georgia's flag is sometimes equated to the confederate stars and bars, the actual national flag of the confederacy, but honestly i'd take it over the flag georgia used in 2000 any day of the year. the one they use now is pretty damn close to the first ever official georgia flag anyway so meh

The question was on the authority of the states themselves though. Even so, the Court should have largely stayed out of the matter.

The only thing the Court needed to do was say Washington couldn't fine people for their votes after Congress said they didn't have a problem with the votes cast. As you can see, the Court failed this simple task.

Yes. I find his explanation unpersuasive. This year, being the most contentious in my long American experience, needed a binding affirmation of our electoral principles. People find it difficult to have faith in the political process already. They don't need the possibility of faithless electors stealing the election adding to their grief. And we have a unanimous decision to boot. Certainty is a welcome change from the daily chaos. The case originated from three faithless electors bringing suit for being fined for voting the wrong way in the 2016 election. The High Court held that "A State may enforce an elector’s pledge to support his party’s nominee-and the state voters’ choice-for President." They also stated that there is no language in the US Constitution granting electors voting discretion. That's not a "nothing burger" from my perspective. Electors are not free to vote as they see fit, and that principle is now backed by a 9-0 Supreme-Court mandate.

@@joesterling4299 Perhaps these certain people would benefit from actually learning about the political process rather than allowing corrupt party politics to continue warping it? Electors are free to vote as they see fit in any state that doesn't pass laws punishing them for doing so. Electors are supposed to be faithless. You are not supposed to elect the President, the states are. The same way you elect senators to represent your state in Congress, you elect electors to represent your state in the Electoral College. You do not elect any of them to make the decisions you want to make. If you want to make decisions then you become an elector/senator/representative etc. You elect them to make the decisions they think they should make.

The one who was here 10 min early ONLY commented to say HE DOESN'T want Premieres.

The governance of society is too serious, in my opinion, to be viewed like a sports competition where one roots for one team and boos the other. There a good Democrats who sincerely wish to have our country succeed and prosper, just as there are those whose only interest is personal wealth & power. The same is true of Republicans, Independents and politicians in general. It has always been thus and always will be. It is human nature. It is why we must pay attention and evaluate who we vote for each and every time. I could ramble on but I think I have made my viewpoint clear. 🙂

Using premieres in combination with member only chat is kind of a strange thing. The advantage of a premere is , that you can get direct feedback from your viewers. So you take the hit on tracktion of all that users that click on the video and leave annoyed to forget that the clip is in thier subcription feed. But at the same time limiting the chat to members only, crushes this advantage and you alienate your premiere audience too.

The Supreme Court reaffirming a case from the 19th century is pretty interesting. I tend to think that in say, 1990, the court would have made faithless electors illegal, but the court is more small c conservative now. They aren’t in a mood for big changes to the interpretation of the law.

The job of suprime court is to follow the rules set before nothing else. They do not care about parties, beliefs, racism, homophobia their job is to follow guide lines nothing else. That also why when a conservative was let in nothing has change, he still rules with the liberals They are the constitution and they make sure it stays that way. Making them the most fair and honest judges in the US.
