I have been telling anyone who would listen, this bitch is bullshit. I lived in SC where she was the governor and she was nothing but accommodating to the lefties in the state. she would be the last person I would vote for if I wanted conservatism to survive.
I'm to sure how I would deal with the loss of my son in such circumstances...but I suspect that I would be out there surreptitiously hunting down and savagely murdering every politician who supports open borders, for they are the real murderers, illegals are just the weapon they wield against us.
Some CNN executive somewhere was watching this and immediately called his accountant and his attorney and told them to dump all his CNN associated assets as quietly as possible so the rest of the board members wouldn't notice, not realizing, of course, that the rest of the board members were doing the same thing at the exact same time.
Being that daddy's not eligible for a third term, I would love Kristi Noem to be the next Trump (lion) party candidate for 2024. Let the Rinos keep their own Nicky Haley and the Communists' party AOC to compete against her. Noem will crush them.
He will probably order the wall demolished, but I foresee some local state governors challenging that in court. Except for California, which will become flooded with jihadists who will then travel freely, killing Americans, across the country and never get prosecuted for it.
III. The Elections Clause of the United States Constitution
The Elections Clause of the United States Constitution states:
“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.” U.S. Const. art. I, § 4, cl. 1. Likewise the counterpart to the Elections Clause for the Executive Branch provides: “The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.” Id. art. II, § 1, cl. 3.
On numerous occasions the Supreme Court has expounded the meaning of these clauses. Under the Elections Clause, “the states are given[] and in fact exercise wide discretion in the formulation of a system for the choice by the people of representatives in Congress.” United States v. Classic, 313 U.S. 299, 311, 61 S.Ct. 1031, 85 L.Ed. 1368 (1941). The power of the States to prescribe the 539*539 “times, places and manner” for electing federal representatives encompasses nearly every procedural facet of a federal election.
“It cannot be doubted that these comprehensive words embrace authority to provide a complete code for congressional elections, not only as to times and places, but in relation to notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns; in short, to enact the numerous requirements as to procedure and safeguards which experience shows are necessary in order to enforce the fundamental right involved…. All this is comprised in the subject of ‘times, places and manner of holding elections[.]'”
Smiley v. Holm, 285 U.S. 355, 366, 52 S.Ct. 397, 76 L.Ed. 795 (1932). Of course, Congress can override state election regulations pursuant to its power to “make or alter such regulations.” Cook v. Gralike, 531 U.S. 510, 121 S.Ct. 1029, 1038, 149 L.Ed.2d 44 (2001). This “make or alter” power sweeps broadly. Ex Parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371, 387, 25 L.Ed. 717 (1879) (“Congress, by its power to make or alter the regulations, has a general supervisory power over the whole subject[.]”). “The phrase `such regulations’ plainly refers to regulations of the same general character that the legislature of the State is authorized to prescribe with respect to congressional elections. In exercising this power, the Congress may supplement these state regulations or may substitute its own.” Smiley, 285 U.S. at 366-67, 52 S.Ct. 397. In short, the Elections Clause of the Constitution “is a default provision; it invests the States with responsibility for the mechanics of congressional elections, but only so far as Congress declines to preempt state legislative choices.” Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67, 69, 118 S.Ct. 464, 139 L.Ed.2d 369 (1997) (citations omitted).
By creating a congressional check on the power of the States to regulate federal elections, the Framers sought to curb the potential for abuses by the States and to give the nascent national government the power to preserve itself. U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779, 808-09, 115 S.Ct. 1842, 131 L.Ed.2d 881 (1995) (collecting quotes from James Madison, Gouverneur Morris, and Alexander Hamilton expressing concern that by regulating federal elections the States could manipulate their outcome or cripple the functioning of the national government). See also id. at 863, 894, 115 S.Ct. 1842 (Thomas, J., dissenting) (providing additional evidence from other contemporaneous writings that the “make or alter” power afforded Congress the means to support the national government and prevent dissolution of the Union). Without a congressional override the Framers feared that the existence of the federal government would depend upon the willingness of the States to hold federal elections. Id.See also The Federalist No. 59 (Alexander Hamilton). Additionally, for the Framers federal uniformity assured that States did not conspire to time elections so as to deprive Congress of a quorum. 9 Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution 920 (J. Kaminski & G. Saladino eds., 1990) (arguing that if the States chose the times for holding congressional elections “there might have been as many times of choosing as there are States,” and “such intervals might elapse between the first and last election, as to prevent there being a sufficient number to form a House”) (remarks of George Nicholas at the Virginia ratifying convention). Accordingly, the Elections Clause gives Congress “the capacity to prescribe both the date and the mechanics of congressional 540*540 elections.” Thornton, 514 U.S. at 894, 115 S.Ct. 1842 (Thomas, J., dissenting). Other Framers justified the Clause on the ground that federal elections should be “held on the same day throughout the United States, to prevent corruption or undue influence.” 2 Elliot’s Debates 535 (J. Elliot ed., 1937) (remarks of Thomas McKean at the Pennsylvania ratifying convention).[1]
I couldn’t agree more. Those of us who emigrated here legally from third world countries remember this is how it was in those hellholes. We came here because we wanted to enjoy liberty, justice and self determination, imagine our shock and surprise to find that now nearly 1/2 the adult population and 3/4 of the young are clamoring for communism and enslavement. 🥺
I lived in SC when this woman was governor there, I was not impressed one little bit, the only thing republican about this opportunist is her voter registration, other than that, she’s McCain, Romney, Collins and Murkowski all rolled into one immense ball of liberal shit.
Life goes go on young man. Yes national politics are important, but your local officials have a more direct impact on your everyday life. Besides, the founders created divided government precisely for this reason. Even if corrupt, creepy Joe and the communists manage to steal the White House, the Senate is still in Rep hands.
because if anyone can see he truth it's Steve Wonder, right? Go back to making music and having your hangers on tell you how wonderful you are...for a white man.
