General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The electoral college is 100% PURE BULLSHIT! [View all]dpibel
(3,466 posts)I'm at a loss to see how.
You do know, don't you, that the framers of the Constitution didn't write it with parties in mind? They were forthrightly against parties at all.
So it escapes me how you think they designed a system to prevent one party from dominating all three branches, slim majority or not.
How is it you imagine that the Constitution actually contemplates partisanship in the judiciary at all?
Also, the presidency can, and frequently is, established by a slim majority. There is nothing in the system that says such a president has less power than one elected by a huge majority.
The only thing I can think of that your premise describes is the filibuster, which is not in the Constitution, nor was it part of the original design of the government.
Finally, the discussion here is about the Electoral College. What in the world does the EC have to do with the legislative or judicial branches?
In short, I can't make heads or tails of what you're saying. My failure, I'm sure.
