I honestly can't believe people actually think that way, but here we are. Ultimately, this measure is unnecessary because the legislature can already terminate an emergency declaration. They just needed a 2/3 majority to do so, which ensures that such an action would be done with the full support of the electorate and would be unlikely to pass for political gamesmanship. These measures pertain to what are truly matters or life or death; changing the Constitution to allow for termination by simple majority would inevitably put EVERY future state of emergency at the whims of unscrupulous PA Republicans. This is a power-grab, pure and simple.

May 21, 20215 yr it doesn't "limit" the powers of government. it limits the power of the governor to respond to a crisis, and expands the power of a feckless legislature that has been gerrymandered into permanent Republican control. we already know you're stupid. you don't have to continuously demonstrate it. take a day off.

A power grab for a legislature that is consistently in the hands of a slight Republican majority, yes. It's a matter of such importance that I think the 2/3 requirement was reasonable.

May 21, 20215 yr Also, quite the dirty trick to put Constitutional Amendment proposals on an off-year primary ballot. Republicans knew that the turnout heavily skews in their favor for local primaries. Now, yeah, I hate that Democrats absolutely suck at getting to the polls, and ultimately it's on them, but it doesn't change the fact that PA Republicans are monumental scumbags sacrificing the health and wellbeing of Pennsylvanians to score political points with their braindead base.

So it limits the power of the governor and gives it to a larger group of elected officials, so that the insane amount of power has to be approved by more than one person before it can be wielded. Gee, that sounds terrible. Riot Kitchen whining about this is another great example of his moderation.

You answered your own complaint. Decisions are made by those who show up. Yes, I just quoted President Bartlett.

Hmm, seems like someone has a problem with basic democracy in action. If this is an unpopular move, those Republicans will be ousted and full control of being able to lock down the entire state will be restored to the democrats, who will only use that power responsibly. Why do you hate democracy so much?

Either certain matters are important enough that they should require the approval of a supermajority, or they're not. I know you think you got me here, but you don't. One can entertain two thoughts at once on this subject. I already said, I hate that Democrats suck at voting, but if you don't think the Republicans strategically put this on a local primary ballot because they knew the numbers wouldn't be so favorable in the midterms, you're lying to yourself.

Having the vaccine is like having a pitcher that automatically reduces the opposition's batting average by .300. It doesn't guarantee that the other team never gets a hit, but it sure as hell reduces the likelihood by a wide margin. My BAA against is .002 Your vaccine is going to take me to .001 It is statistically insignificant to my survivability. Funny how everyone is jumping on the fat bandwagon, even though I'm the only one of you Fs who has does anything for his situation besides getting jabbed. I have literally chronicled my weight loss in this very thread with fuhking PICTURES, from borderline "obese" to "average" on BMI range. You all are embarrassing. You've got vikas who will always be shorter than my grandmother and the rest of you are undoubtedly overweight. Guess who isn't, anymore?

Nah, I don't really care. I just find it surprising that people actually still approve of the government being able to complete halt all economic activity at the whim of a single person. Especially after all we now know about the virus and the effects of locking down.

I'm over it.
