BillsFanM.D. Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That would be step two: kill all the lawyers. Actually, per Bill Shakespeare, that would be step one.... The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers. Shakespeare, William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 How did we get from the elimination of the electoral college vote will then create a dictatorship? We didn't eliminate congress and the senate! "The President is a direct representative of the people, and as such need not answer to Congress or the Supreme Court." Like we're not already headed in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 I can't find a source for that quote. Barack Obama, 2020 after the electoral college was replaced in 2016 with direct elections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we're not already headed in that direction. How does keeping the electoral college change that in anyway? Assuming I go along with your assertion which I don't.

It keeps the states as a buffer between the people and the executive. Which isn't much of a buffer these days, admittedly...the point being: why would you want to weaken it further?
