Re: California\'s attempt to end run the Constitution

A useless anachronism that prevents a handful of large cities from usurping control of the Federal Government.

Well, as long as we're not scaremongering. I've never heard someone claim the undemocratic nature of the EC as it's main virtue. Besides, I'm not even sure your argument makes sense. Sure, big, urban states are hurt by the EC, but they also get "free votes" thrown in from their surrounding rural areas. Upstate NY, which has lots of Republican voters, for example, is dragged onto the Democratic side by NYC. Furthermore, given that the popular vote and the electoral vote almost always coincide, how important can this be?

I love the liberal "defenders of the Constitution" when it come to protecting the rights of pedophiles and protestors who disrupt funerals, but when it comes to a fundamental principle that protects the interests of less populated States, the Constitution is an anachronism.

OK. Not really sure what you're talking about, but I'm glad you love it.
