No, the Electoral College is not a “shadow of slavery’s power.”
As I’ve oft noted, hatred of the Electoral College and the equal representation of the states in the Senate is hatred of the United States of America. They want an overarching powerful federal government.
I haven’t discussed the most recent developments, but Jonathan Adler is.

Sorry, that’s not news. The news is that the court recently refused to rehear our appeal en banc, but that’s not what this story over two years old is about.
…don’t reduce gun violence or suicides.
Just one more aspect of the Left’s denial of science.
Though it’s not clear from the headline, Marco Rubio has introduced legislation to amend the Constitution to keep it at nine seats. Yes, make them vote and be on the record for all this crazy process nonsense they’re spouting on the campaign trail.
He may get off the hook for the prostitution rap. When I heard about this, I thought it was stupid, unless he knew that there was human trafficking involved and was part of it. Prostitution laws are stupid, and much more harmful to women than consenting sales of sex.
One has gotten snagged by the Mueller probe, and another may be. It’s long past time.

Also over there a sort of debate on the pros and cons of NASA’s approach to getting back to the moon. I’d note that Hedman’s objection to transpiration cooling is both weak (in the sense that even if Starship was expended, it would still deliver more payload for much less money than SLS ever will) and moot, since Elon has stated that with the steel and standard thermal protection, they may only use it in areas that are scorched when they return.
Yes, the gun-control case against it is full of lies. As he notes, this isn’t about the AR-15; it’s about banning all semi-auto rifles, if not all semi-auto guns, if not all guns. That’s always their ultimate goal, because they know that an armed society is a free one.
A righteous Twitter rant from Phil Metzger:
Follow the thread. He lambastes the Alabama delegation, and how this actually harmed Alabama. He’s right. It’s tragic.
Don’t read the Constitution the way he did. A long but interesting disquisition on the founding documents.
