“There are many voices today who fail to understand the purpose and virtues of the Electoral College. Efforts have been made by political factions to circumvent its operation without going to the trouble of amending the Constitution in accordance with the procedures set out in Article V. Those who would undermine the Electoral College certainly would see no significance in what they would view as a “technical” requirement, that the Manner of those elections be vested exclusively in the state legislature. What is special about a state legislature?
The Framers had long experience with legislative bodies during the colonial period. They knew the strengths of such bodies and their weaknesses. They knew that state legislatures can be frustrating in causing delay and even gridlock, but they knew that state legislatures conducted open debate with the transparency that deliberation requires. State legislators would likely include persons from all walks of life — farmers, merchants, persons with military background, physicians, and even lawyers. They would come from rural portions of each state and more densely populated areas. They would be of different ages and different temperaments. They would likely be drawn from different religious backgrounds. And they would regularly stand for election within a House or Senate district sufficiently small that the person would be reasonably well known and respected by the electorate. When this mix of persons who exhibited leadership skills would assemble, the result would likely reflect the will of the people. Such a deliberative body could only rarely be captured by narrow factional interests, and if it were to occur, likely would not last long.” More PURE gold from the same brief. Taking me forever to finish it...dinner, baths and bedtime prep here, lol.

Funny enough there are a few of those. And there are also independent/third parties who occasionally vote with us too. We still definitely need those two seats tho!

How did you edit this? I’ve been looking for a way to edit. I hate typos and incorrect spell check corrections lol

I laid my finger against the text, as if to reply, and one of the options was "edit"

Awesome! Just tried it and it worked. TY!

You're an awesome scholar

Does anyone remember that scene in Shawshank Redemption where he writes to the state to get funds for a new library?

YOU BET

Vaguely...been a while since I watched that one.

Well that is me right now PERSISTENTLY contacting youtube reps to get this appeal my way

Hang in there. Shawshank was interesting and a bit pleasant in a wierd way, but I can't imagine a prisoner who worked for the warden suffering abuse from other prisoners

Some Congress members seem to be hot on this topic, maybe one of them could weigh in

Get em!

You have such a blatant case, maybe Tucket or Greg Kelly might enjoy beating YT over the head with it. -- and get you some publicity

GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS

“Thus, the citizens of each of the original 13 colonies (including Pennsylvania and Georgia) were willing only to have their President elected by an electoral college chosen by procedures developed by state legislatures and rejected all other available options. The Framers did not entrust this responsibility to governors, secretaries of state, judges, election officials, or anyone else — and neither should Texas, and neither can this Court. Thereafter, each state that came into the Union on an “equal footing” (such as Michigan and Wisconsin) accepted the constitutional process by which Presidential Electors would be selected in every state. See Coyle v. Smith, 221 U.S. 559 (1911).” (Same brief page 9 section D) 🥰🥰🥰 This case is strong and well supported by both many present day states, individuals and organizations but better than that it has the support of our founding fathers. I simply cannot imagine a reason this case would not be fully heard by SCOTUS nor can I imagine a reason SCOTUS would not rule in favor of Texas! Of course...this is 2020 so all bets off but legally and constitutionally this should win...God willing and the creek don’t rise! Lol

This is a little more than interesting, don't you think? https://twitter.com/i/status/1337144668556025858 an extension to what got TMC in so much crap on YT, seems calmer now, but far more threatening, the bitch is weird, but seems to be making threats in another direction ........ Thoughts ?????

Really want to shake the hand(s) of these author(s) one day...it just gets better! 🧐. -“What happens in Las Vegas may stay in Las Vegas. But what happens in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin can affect the people of Texas and all other states. This is not a small matter. A corruption in the process in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin could lead to the election of a person for President who was not elected in accordance with constitutionally-prescribed rules. It would be difficult to envision a more divisive act than to have violated these rules.” (Same brief page 10, Section E, paragraph 1)

I KNEW that woman sounded drunk on more than one occasion 😂🤣😂 You are 100% right, SHE IS NUTS!

''Biden & Harris you owe the State of Michigan, the City of Detroit, and me'' FOR WHAT ???

You've certainly been busy today, thanks for picking the 'bones' outta this for us

If Trump's selections for the supreme court continue to appear as worthless as most of his previous selections, we'd better prepare for chaos

Exactly what I was thinking! Things that make you go hmmmmmm 🤨🧐🤔

almost an admission of wrong doing, ''I put my life on the line for you..!!''

picked that up from X22Report ''Dave'' had much more to say about it

Trump is safe -- his followers will make a hash of Socialists, if that's required

X22Report is about the only thing that keeps me sane and believing tbh

Do you see this fighting out on the streets?

I’ve been reading briefs and not watching news. Just checked YT and everyone is saying SCOTUS dismisses TX case!? Not seeing any court ruling on the docket tho...

It's been all over Social media Dems are dismissing it all and actually accusing Texas Trump and all those siding with them of Sedition, many have felt the need to give the meaning of ''Sedition''

Don't think SCOTUS has ruled, but Social Media has in Lieu - as per normal

Wtf!?! 7-2 decision to dismiss! I’m HEARTBROKEN... I don’t even know what to say. I have officially lost ALL HOPE in the USA...

Ruling is in ?????????????? WTF

They are saying TX had no standing...I do not believe this. I can’t even right now...this is surreal. Ga and Pa cases are still out there but if SCOTUS wouldn’t hear this case, those cases will be dead in the water. Unless trump has a 2018 EO ace in the hole it’s done people....

If SCOTUS has decided to demure regardless of evidence, then we the people are the final answer

X22 was saying 2 routes SCOTUS (gone) or the military Option looks like that's it

Durham

My jury on that is still out, at least until dec 18th. If no Trump EO ace then yes...it looks like it will have to come to that...

Alito and Thomas were for hearing it, everyone else said no...even Barrett!?!
