NO JUSTICE NO PEACE

 This is a quote from the Wickipedia article on the constitution. This is a direct quote. My read is that the legislature sets up how the presidential electors are chosen. The legislature does not choose them directly. In Oregon the slate of electors is chosen during the primary. We don't do conventions. I'm guessing most states do that. Not sure about caucus states. 

"Clause 2: Method of choosing electors[edit]

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

 

Mr. Levin does have law degrees. He has done mostly politcal work for Republican administrations or right wing think tanks. My guess is that he knows this. It's more let's muddy the waters to undermine a Biden administration. He was against Trump until Trump was elected then became a full time Trump supporter. And any other opinions I will keep to myself right now. 

We cannot slack off now. This is the long haul folks. We will not turn things around with this election. At best we can slow the slide. What makes me sad is that I will probably not be around to see the end of this madness.
