The Electoral College Allows Institutionalized Coup

 
In this last presidential election, I am beginning to think of the electoral college as the device that allowed Trump to become president by an institutionalized coup.

He didn't win the popular vote, Hillary did. But, the electoral college allowed him to push aside the vote of the people and take power.

If this happen in another country, such as Belarus that is having its own troubles right now, the United States and countries around the world would not recognized the new power.

At the Supreme Court, Trump and the GOP have solidified a decades long battle to place judges on the court that agree with the institutionalized coup.

Finally, with Trump stopping the census count early, he is hoping to take power away from congressional districts and states that tend not to support him his co-conspirators the GOP, thereby ensuring the GOP will be able to continue with their coup into the foreseeable future.

Challenge the Courts About Restricting Guns

There are those that say we can not enact stricter gun laws because the Constitution and the Supreme Court have clearly expressed that any of these laws would not be Constitutional.

The best of these people and legislators’ site numerous cases and portions of the Constitution to support their claim.

But the same people that claim they cannot enact gun restrictions are the very same people that keep passing legislation restricting or forbidding abortions.

The Supreme Court has ruled more than a generation ago that abortions are Constitutional.

It has not stopped the various governing bodies around the country of passing legislation to find “wiggle” room in restricting abortions.

Their attempt is to challenge Roe v Wade and restrict abortion everyway possible and allow the courts to decide the law’s fate.

So, why don’t the very same legislative bodies also try to find “wiggle” room in the Supreme Court’s decision on weapons?

My thoughts are that it must be because the NRA has serious money invested in these legislators that makes it difficult to impossible for them to attempt passing legislation.
