As a conservative, South Carolinian, and American


Dec 10, 2020, 8:16 AM

I am utterly embarrassed at the Texas, et al lawsuit, which now includes South Carolina. It's one thing for the President and his legal team to do what they've been doing...it's what we all expected. But to have other government leaders latch onto this, knowing full well the inanity of the legal arguments, is devastating. There is no way the Attorneys General of these states are not fully aware that there is no legal basis for what they are doing. It's obvious they are doing it for political reasons, to cast themselves as "fighters" with the President, due to his deep popularity among Republican voters. They'll lose the case, obviously, but they'll win with their voter base. And I guess that' what matters these days.

I've voted Republican my entire adult life, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, but this is flat-out embarrassing.

I've said for years our problems are not political, they're systemic. And we're seeing that play out before our eyes. They are structural, not political. The mechanics of the Constitution are broken. And to think REPUBLICans would be the ones to actually attack the electoral college, the very same nightmare they incorrectly envisioned Hillary doing in 2016.

A lot of republicans have pivoted, seen what's happening, and recoiled. A large sector though, those in leadership especially, have followed Trump, and they are acting irrational. Others have gone off the wingnut cliff, and good and decent people too. The GOP has become what it despises. The old two wrongs don't make a right deal kinda.

All of this is an embarrassment to our democracy. This is all for show, but will go nowhere. Yes, Trump had 74.2M votes, but Biden had 81.2M votes for President. The states have certified their elections, and there was no evidence of widespread fraud.

Dec 10, 2020, 8:45 AM

Right off the bat, the argument that the states are violating the "Electors clause" of Article 2 is mind-numbingly silly and baseless. The legislatures are choosing the electors, per Article 2, in all of these states. There is no universe in which that is not happening.

And then the idea that a state has any grounds or injury to sue another state because they think THEIR laws weren't good. That's a slap in the face to the autonomy of the states that is central to our system of governance in the United States.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It really is a huge slap to the REPUBLICans.


Dec 10, 2020, 9:05 AM

By contesting the electoral college votes, and questioning that system that keeps us a "republic", that gives dems all the ammo they need to actually change it. Then if you get a popular vote, we are no longer a republic, as founded. And we suffer the fate of all large and diverse democracies.

A good conservative would see this. The dems attacked the electoral college in 2016. BUT FOR IT, Trump would have lost. GWB would have lost. Now Trump has lost WITH IT, and they're attacking it. Very dangerous stuff.

Dec 10, 2020, 9:12 AM [ in reply to Inane, not insane. ]

The constitution gives all power to decide elections to states' general assemblies/legislature. Legislatures decide laws governing elections in each state. The Governors, SoS' and even local election officials altered or added to the voting system set up by the legislation in MI, WI, PA and GA. Those alteration, changes or additions to state laws outside the legislations in those states are unconstitutional. That's quite simple, conceptually.

How does Texas have a gripe? If I cast a legal vote for X and another person cast an illegal vote for X's opponent my vote is negated. That is wrong and unfair to me. That is an extremely simple situation but in essence it makes the point that 18 AGs and The POTUS are making since electoral votes determine who is the POTUS and VP. It's about dilution or disenfranchisement of electoral votes.

What Texas is saying is 'since the SCOTUS decided that all counties in FL should be recounted equally according to state law all states should be held to the same standard by the constitution. That's not to say that all state laws must be the same but that all state election and counting procedures should be according to that state's laws as approved by that state's legislators.

Texas isn't saying the state laws in GA, MI, PA and WI aren't good. Texas is saying those states held election which didn't follow state laws which were determined by their state legislators.

All this is really an over simplification but from what I've read it satisfies my curiosity. Simply saying it's inane, lacks grounds or is a slap in the face to autonomy ignores the constitution having given all power to state legislatons to determine election laws and how they are executed.

college. It's our best friend, and the only thing that put GWB and Trump into office in the first place. It is a friend to rural voters, conservatives, and the GOP. It is a key to keeping us from being a democracy. It preserves states rights and prevents a popular election. New York, California, and urban voters will run the country without it, and would have since day one. That level of disenfranchisement is a whole other level over what we have now. That is why popular democracies the size of the United States always fail.

Find me this sentence in the Constitution:

"The constitution gives all power to decide elections to states' general assemblies/legislature." I'll save you time: it's not there.


Article 2 of the Constitution says that the state legislatures choose the electors. No where does it say "all power to decide elections" goes to anyone.

It's none of Texas's business if a state doesn't follow their own laws. If that's true, then the courts in those states will take care of it.

Sorry, states choose electors, and the state legislatures decide how. Every state legislature has decided on a popular vote to do this. (With a couple of states splitting up districts.)

It's quite an activist reading of that clause to say that legislatures have all power over all elections. The clause is only about appointing electors to the Electoral College.

The legislature makes the laws governing how elections are held. Arguing that the original bills governing election laws are not drafted and passed in assemblies held by the legislators is making things up.

Neither the governor nor anyone else other than the legislators or judges can legally alter the guidelines set forth by the legislature. The US constitution makes this clear. Texas obeyed Texas law but PA, GA, MI and MN.

Had you watched the video I posted you would have seen a constitutional law professor explain these concepts in detail. I'v also seen Alan Dershowitz explain it the same way. We'll see how the SCOTUS views this. They may dismiss it but I believe they will not find that Gov and SoS can alter state election laws randomly and at will.

Could not influence how the elections are conducted, then it would have been stopped when it happened. The truth is, whatever they did passed Constitutional muster, and it's only a month after the election that we have other states that don't like the results.

Earlier today I read an EO from Gov. DeSantis in Florida before the election that suspended part of a state election law. Why isn't Florida being sued?

Dec 8, 2017, 8:15 PM

power to others. Your boss might assign a task to you but that doesn't empower you to violate company policy or his guidelines. I don't know how or why Desantis changed something but perhaps state laws allowed for those changes.

There is ample evidence that in each of the four states named in the lawsuit that they had changed things which they were not permitted to change according to state law.

I know in GA there was a 'friendly lawsuit,' filed by Stacy Abrams and her group which was resolved in court allowing and providing for things which were against existing laws. I understand the SoS agreed to the terms. I've read that the entire thing was kept from the legislation until recently.

State laws can not be changed by a SoS or a Gov. You know how this works. Laws which are passed into law can't be rescinded by a gov, SoS or the legislation. There is a process to create law and a process to amend, rescind or replace them. They aren't subject to other methods.

You are denying the way laws are created and what it takes to change them buy suggesting that my statement, ""Neither the governor nor anyone else other than the legislators or judges can legally alter the guidelines which are set forth by the legislature."

This is simply not true. The Constitution gives all power to decide elections to the voters. Those voters elected representatives merely certify the vote count, they do not get to decide elections on their own.

SCOTUS will not even hear the Texas case. How states run their elections is up to each state. Texas has no say over how other state legislatures set their election rules.

What is astonishing to me is how Republicans openly support this effort to truly deny the will of the voter for mere partisan gain.

It is, in fact, a blatant attempt to STEAL the election and defy the will of the people. It's unamerican and unthinkable in a Democracy.

Alan Wilson doesn't exactly ride the integrity train.

But yeah, it's embarrassing all around. This isn't something anyone wants on his resume.

I think that everyone should back up and take a hard look at this lawsuit. Texas joined by 17 other Republican states is asking the Supreme Court to ignore the will of the people in 4 swings states so they might get those legislatures to appoint Trump electors.

It is not in the least hyperbolic to say that this attempt, were it successful, would be the end of our Democratic system.

To set aside the will of the people in order to install a preferred candidate into the executive branch is exactly how despots come to power.

Partisanship over the constitution, the republic, and the will of the American people.

I don't understand how one can blindly support republicans, democrats, or any party over the welfare of our country and constitution.

States Rights? I love that the SC AG is on board with other

states telling South Carolina what to do.

SC is probably the state that most most other states think needs help along those lines.

He hasn't really thought this through. Just more of the GOP pissing in their pants to keep their ##### warm.

Maybe the state politicians see the truth that you just fail to recognize....

See Georgia right now

As Trump said, if this chit doesnt get fixed, republicans will never win another presidential or senate seat ever again

Republicans shouldn't have to cheat to win. Shouldn't they

simply adopt policies that will appeal to a majority of the country for a change.

People voting for candidates you don't support?

I strongly hope Republicans will nominate candidates

Who will earn the votes of a large chunk of the 80 million or so who voted for President-elect Biden.

Yes, I believe that is the fix that is badly needed.

It's a slam dunk lawsuit. Maybe you need to do some "critical thinking".

Everything you now know is a lie. Everything!

Step back and use some logic and a news source that is not owned by one of the 4 propaganda groups.

I have not watched a news story about this.

I have read the brief filed by Texas, and I have read the Constitution.

Yeah, keep voting for them even though you clearly disagree with the direction the party is moving. That'll show 'em.

Replying to the original post...

I'm certainly not embarrassed. How can this embarrass me with the history of the democrats over the past decade or so? Not possible.

Democrats, in their group think, believe anything goes if in their mind it helps achieve the end goal. Anything. As a result, they have no morals, no ethics, no idea of even what a perception of impropriety may look like. Pathetic.
