Just now, Gannan said: There was no legal error. It stood for 50 years. Thomas took huge bribes to unjustly overturn it. That's just undisputed fact. An illegitimate president appointed a drunk and a 12 tear old to the supreme court to unjustly overturn it. Had the republicans not cheated to steal seats on the court it would never have happened. Dobbs is the result of rampant open corruption, not based on the constitution. look out gannan, here come matlock's knockout punch.

From a purely legal standpoint, it was one of the worst written and worst reasoned significant opinions of recent memory. It was essentially legislation from the bench. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/05/does-the-reasoning-in-roe-v-wade-matter.html Does the Reasoning in Roe v. Wade Matter?

September 26, 20242 yr Amateur Hour...... In a preview clip of her interview with the Democratic nominee that aired Wednesday, Ruhle pressed where Harris would "get the money" to fund her pricey economic proposals if Republicans on Capitol Hill block her efforts to raise the corporate tax rate. "Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?" Ruhle asked. "But we're gonna have to raise corporate taxes," Harris responded. "We’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share."
September 26, 20242 yr 7 hours ago, Diehardfan said: Move to a democracy instead of a republic. The founders weren't stupid. They didn't want the masses in cities (larger states) to rule the country making most of the country obsolete. Too bad for you I guess.Good luck getting WY, UT, ID, ND, SD, KY and others to vote to change that. There's wisdom in the electoral college, but it's way out of balance now. Far too much political power is granted by the EC to sparsely populated states. It's absurd.
September 26, 20242 yr Interesting history on how we ended up in winner take all. Madison argued that the founders intended for it to be by district. Jefferson started it despite believing going by district was better - but he wanted to win in 1800. https://fairvote.org/how-the-electoral-college-became-winner-take-all/ Timeline : 1789: George Washington is the overwhelmingly popular choice to become the first president; just three states allocate electors based on the winner of the statewide popular vote. 1792: State legislatures emerge as the preferred method of selecting presidential electors. George Mason of Virginia defended this method at the Constitutional Convention by arguing that "It would be as unnatural to refer the choice of a proper character for a chief Magistrate to the people, as it would to refer a trial of colors to a blind man.” 1800: Virginia, the state with the most electoral votes, switches to a statewide popular vote system. Winning candidate Thomas Jefferson said of the switch in his home state: "All agree that an election by districts would be best, if it could be general; but while 10 states choose either by their legislatures or by a general ticket, it is folly & worse than folly for the other 6 not to do it.” Indeed, Jefferson would have won the 1796 election if two of his strongholds had used winner-take-all. Not wanting to lose an advantage to Virginia, Massachusetts switches to a state legislature system in response, to ensure that all its electoral votes would go to John Adams. 1804: The 12 th amendment is ratified, requiring electors to cast a single vote for a presidential ticket rather than casting two votes for their two preferred candidates, with the top finisher becoming president and the runner-up becoming vice-president. The number of states using statewide and state legislature systems is equal for the first time. 1812: The number of states using statewide models decreases and the number using state legislature systems increases, suggesting that the latter might ultimately win out. A substantial number of states continue to use a district-based model. 1820: An equal number of states use statewide and state legislature methods for the second time. This is the last election in which state legislatures played a dominant role. By this point, political parties have become entrenched and the electors of the Electoral College can no longer realistically claim to be independent. After the election, James Madison proposes a constitutional amendment that would require states to use the district method, writing that "The district mode was mostly, if not exclusively in view when the Constitution was framed and adopted; & was exchanged for the general ticket & the legislative election, as the only expedient for baffling the policy of the particular States which had set the example.” 1824: The tipping point election for presidential electoral systems, as twice as many states used the winner-take-all statewide method as used the state legislature method. The defeated Andrew Jackson joined James Madison’s pleas for a constitutional amendment requiring a uniform district election system, but to no avail. In every U.S. presidential election since, the statewide method has been predominant. 1836: All but one state, South Carolina, uses the winner-take-all method based on the statewide popular vote to choose its electors. South Carolina continues to have its legislature choose electors until after the Civil War. 1872: For the first time, every state holds a popular vote election for president, and all use the statewide winner-take-all rule. In 1876, Colorado is the last state to have its legislature choose its electors.

September 26, 20242 yr 15 minutes ago, Dave Moss said: 1876 was a contested election and the President was selected in a back room deal often referred to as the Compromise of 1877. 3 states (one was Florida, can’t remember the other 2) submitted 2 sets of electors. It was given to a committee in the House of 15 - 7 from each party and 1 independent. After being deadlocked forever, the deal was cut - Hayes, the Republican, would win over Tilden, but reconstruction would end.
