And you won’t be surprised to hear that I passionately believe it’s time to abolish the Electoral College. [More]You're right. I won't be.
It's just one of the many Intolerable Acts I would expect from a traitor who would be tyrant. And no one capable of reason thinks you want our guns for anything other than totalitarian control.

To my mind the Constitution, far from being a "living document", is a contract between the Federal Government and the STATES who created it and who delegated to it certain ENUMERATED powers.
When one party fails to adhere to the terms of the contract, the other party is justified in nullifying that contract. Yes - that's justifiable secession.
No, the C~ is not a contract between the states and the federal government. The C~ is an AGREEMENT between the states acting to CREATE a federal government as an AGENT for the states.
'Secession' is nowhere prohibited to the states so, by operation of the 10th amendment, states already have that power.
I always get a chuckle out of maroons who suggest the EC be abolished. It would take a C~al amendment to do that, but if we look at the 50 states and ask "who has more electoral clout than expected", we find 15 or 16 small states would LOSE power without the EC. That leaves 34 or 35 states to vote for abolition. You need 38. Case closed.
