Funny thing how blacks are some of the strongest opponents of BLM while white liberals are some of its strongest supporters.

Watching the BLM ape a couple minutes in. Malcolm X was right. The mulatto is the most evil, hateful kind of human. Satan incarnate. Has the intelligence of the White mixed with the innate animality of the Black. Much like the biblical Satan, he has seen the potential for greatness, yet cannot fully realize it, leading to envy and a desire to tear down the works of his betters.

The thing is the SCotUS doesn't just reference the US Constitution, they will and have cited supporting documentation before such as the Federalist Papers when making rulings.

Right, but you're gonna find amidst the constitution, the papers, and other arguments at the time general support for the idea of the EC as a final bulwark against getting someone unfit for the presidency in. All you have to do is say "by choosing the will of the majority, we are keeping out someone who is unfit for the majority" and an elector could thus justify their refusal to abide by their state's result as being in line with that original concept of the EC. Barring, of course, that the state intervenes with rules compelling them to vote for it.

tl;dr you were never going to outright -ban- the ability of electors to choose differently than the state's results, and indeed trying to pass a federal ban on the practice would get challenged in the courts. Allowing states to outlaw the practice themselves is functionally the best outcome here

It is almost like those people who want police funding to be cut or outright eliminated, have alliterative motives. :thinking:

I can agree with your TL:DR and I can agree with you in in principle, its just I don't think the founders never thought that something like the Interstate Compact would have happened were states are saying "yes our EC members will vote against the wishes of our citizens and self interest even if the President other wise is fit for the presidency ("national born citizen", 35 year old or order and spent at least the past 14 years in the US)"

Something I don't understand about the US, and would appreciate an insight. Like, how armed is your average person? Does pretty much everyone have an auto pistol? A shotgun? A rifle? A tonne of ammunition? Or do people NOT buy these things, generally speaking? And if they don't buy these things, is it because of cost or an ethical consideration?

Wisconsin here. It's pretty standard to own a few shotguns and rifles for hunting and at least one pistol for self defense.

it is dubious whether the founders would have ever imagined that women, minorities, or non-landholding citizens would be able to vote in the first place

If they didn't expressly forbid/allow it, the states make the decision. (Though in the modern moment, this inevitably gets dragged as high as it can get up in the courts every fucking time)

Nobody owns an automatic pistol (or rifle) in the USA. They are illegal. Except fot a VERY limited # of special collectors permits issued. The only people who have automatic weapons are niggers who buy them illegally, for the most part. Your commie media lies to you.

No it just refers to the electoral college, not the national popular vote.
The states all get a certain amount of electoral votes, and whatever candidate wins each state is supposed to receive all of that state's electoral votes (outside of like maine and nebraska, but thats a different thing), but the votes are actually cast by people, 1 elector per vote. There have been times where they just decide to vote for whoever they want to for whatever reason and ignore the actual general public's vote, and this ruling says that the state can decide that they are not allowed to do this

Exactly. And the numbers of 'faithless electors' in 2016 were tiny and this ruling is unlikely to have any effect on their numbers in future elections because the fines the states imposed - $1000 - are basically negligible in the world of US politics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_electors_in_the_2016_United_States_presidential_election

As a result of the seven successfully cast faithless votes, the Democratic Party nominee, Hillary Clinton, lost five of her pledged electors while the Republican Party nominee and then president-elect, Donald Trump, lost two. Three of the faithless electors voted for Colin Powell while John Kasich, Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders, and Faith Spotted Eagle each received one vote.[8] The defections fell well short of the number needed to change the result of the election; only 2 of the 7 defected from the winner, whereas 35 were needed to defect in order to force a contingent election in Congress (a tally of less than 270).

Literally meaningless decision.

Of course, if you read the comments to CNN's Twitter post, where people don't understand the difference between the national popular vote and the state popular vote and don't understand that all the ruling does is allow states to fine faithless electors, not reverse their vote, then it means that Drumpf is finished in 2020

I think what was meant by auto pistol was a blowback operated IE 1911 or similar system instead of a full auto pistol. Revolvers are still common though
