itâs not funny :(
Here is a nightmare scenario that could easily happen. The state legislatures, which are controlled by Rs in key states due to gerrymandering, have to certify election results under the Constitution. What if Biden wins and they refuse to certify the results because of the well known principle of âfuck you, thatâs whyâ with a sprinkle of voter fraud accusations thrown in?
Then all these âtextualistâ dipshits on the Supreme Court say well, Constitution seems pretty clear to me on this point and they wouldnât exactly be wrong even though itâs anti-Democratic as fuck⌠Not 100% but pretty confident Roberts would find a way to get the âjust resultâ regardless⌠the rest of these fucks⌠gulpâŚ
I just looked up the procedure for amending the Constitution. You need a two thirds majority of both houses of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states so that is never happening. Dems could propose such an amendment in the House and use a negative Senate vote as a justification to pack the court. Iâm speaking hypothetically obviously, I mean if they werenât 10-times consecutive world champion most cuck political party.
Kav probably cost them at least one seat already. they have no chance of keeping the senate if they nominate another Kav
Iâm a little embarrassed I donât know, but I thought nothing happens unless the state Secretary signs off? This is based on trying to remember what Katherine Harris did in FL 2000.
Nope Iâve got bigger plans for her.

I donât see how that passes the Constitutional Amendment process.
If the governors have to sign and send them in, they could refuse to do so. Then nobody gets to 270, it goes to the House. A Trump win, right? Not so fast. Pelosi swears in some but not all of the House, and holds the vote before the rest are sworn because the principle of LOL fuck you too applies.
(SCOTUS rules LOL fuck you is conditional and forces the rest to be sworn in, we lose.)

Grunching but I had to check myself for getting optimistic behind a good personâs death.
Itâs like, humans are, even smart ones, just dumb animals and even with RBG being 237 years old and having fought off 42 types of cancer itâs all abstract until it isnât.

Iâm reminded of @Trollyâs observation that being a successful journalist involves pretending to be a complete fucking idiot, Cillizza is so good at his job because absolutely no pretence is required.

Is immovable one of those words like inflamable where the prefix means nothing? Itâs the only way this tweet makes sense.

Court packing needs to be tacked onto the list of litmus tests with single payer and some other things.
