    If @realDonaldTrump and @senatemajldr ram thru a replacement now, the SCOTUS will have a majority of justices appointed by presidents who finished 2d in the popular vote, confirmed by senate majorities who represented less than half of the country. A tyranny of the minority.

        Constitutions are capable of sucking quite severely, you know. It’s not an effective argument to just yell “Constitution!” if you can’t make a case for the rationality of the rules enabling extensive minority rule (the EC and apportionment of Senate seats).

        Yup. I will never understand how anyone can defend the Electoral College in a modern America.

        The states could solve this problem themselves by changing how they allocate their electoral votes. The Constitution does not say that a state must allocate all of its votes to a candidate who wins the popular vote in the state.

        If Constitution allows it, why would that be a tyranny? We all should uphold the Constitution, right?

        The constitution also allows court packing. Do you support that too?

        It really appears that the Electoral College has outlived its usefulness.
