Now and then, we should recall 6th-grade civics. The US is NOT a 'democracy,' no matter how loudly the insurrectionist party screams and bangs its little drums.
This is a representative republic.
Robin Vos, are you paying attention? Hagedorn obviously missed this body of CONSTITUTIONAL LAW decisions.
"...Article II expressly provides that the rules for Presidential elections are established by the States “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” §1, cl. 2 (emphasis added). The text of Article II means that “the clearly expressed intent of the legislature must prevail” and that a state court may not depart from the state election code enacted by the legislature. Bush v. Gore, 531 U. S. 98, 120 (2000) (Rehnquist, C. J., concurring); see Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Bd., 531 U. S. 70, 76–78 (2000) (per curiam); McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U. S. 1, 25 (1892). In a Presidential election, in other words, a state court’s “significant departure from the legislative scheme for appointing Presidential electors presents a federal constitutional question.” Bush v. Gore, 531 U. S., at 113 (Rehnquist, C. J., concurring). As Chief Justice Rehnquist explained in Bush v. Gore, the important federal judicial role in reviewing state-court decisions about state law in a federal Presidential election “does not imply a disrespect for state courts but rather a respect for the constitutionally prescribed role of state legislatures.”.. --Substack.com quoted at VoxOne hopes that Hagedorn can read plain English, even when it doesn't favor his Government Man prejudices.
So let's ignore the flatulence of such as Larry Tribe, who is a polemicist for the Left and who prefers to ignore parts of the Constitution that he doesn't like. It's not a co-incidence that Hildebeeste and other Lefties (including Students for a Democratic Society) are happy to whore out the term, and members of the "press," chins dripping, rise from their knees to repeat the word.
It ain't true.
