I am an attorney, but I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on the constitutional issues raised. The lawyers that I follow on twitter with more experience don’t seem to give it much hope. They seem to think it is mostly a PR exercise.

The CREW suit has two massive hurdles to pass in demonstrating standing and convincing the court not to dismiss this under the political question doctrine. Both could get the case kicked before any kind of discovery into Trump’s tax returns is permitted.

“Oh, I’m so ashamed.” Don’t be ashamed; organize your people.

The electoral college came about due to slavery.

essentially on a technicality though because the electoral college is a outdated system from a age where instant communication wasnt possible thus was the only way to get a good idea for what the majority of the country wanted. the majority voted against trump by a few million, trump still won. if that isnt a sign of…

Except that is not how the current system works.

You couldn’t be more wrong about the EC being a “fair” representation of the American electorate. It’s a hold over from the times of slave ownership that rewards rural states (slave owning states originally) with a disproportionate representation of Electors to electorate.

I have some bad news for ya, “Roddy”.

That fact doesn’t make him the popular choice. That makes him the choice that was gerrymandered in. As a republican, I know this as fact. Why don’t you?

If cows voted, then the county red/blue map might be more relevant.

Mockery could lead to rash decisions from him, but that’s exactly the sort of thing that would seal his doom. Sure, there could be substantial collateral damage, but not as much as if this nightmare autocratic regime is allowed to gain momentum and staying power.

Before:

Notice how the last two Republican presidents lost the popular vote but were elected anyway.

Or, we’ll push him so hard that even his party will be done with his shit and want to get him gone and out of the way long before 2020 so they can try and make Pence look like less of a prick by then.

Yeah, that electoral college is shit, ain’t it?

Protesting and resistance WILL affect this man like no other President. If Pence were in charge he would just shake his head with a fake smile and go back to imposing the Dark Ages on America.

We did vote. The majority of voters didn’t want him.
