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.

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.

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.
