The healthcare system is a matter of statute, not constitutional rights. So taking a look at how other countries deliver higher quality care at lower cost is a good idea.

Conservatives have long condemned using foreign law in constitutional interpretation. That is different than the writing of statutes (and constitutional amendments). In effect, those who reference non-US precedents in constitutional interpretation are outsourcing the protection of the rights of...

The Progressive Liberals have even infiltrated the Trump administration. The Solicitor General argued in court against birthright citizenship with ... that the United States' rule of nearly unrestricted birthright citizenship is an outlier among modern nations. It's a very small minority of...

You can also use that excuse in 2028 as it rare for the candidate of the party of the President to win when the incumbent President is not running. Do you have your excuse ready for when inflation hits 3%?

I think you just proved my point about the "snowflake" right catching up with the "snowflake" left. Do you have excuses ready for the 2026 election?

The law in Mississippi allows for a 5 day grace period. Your might prefer a shorter period, but this hardly seems to be the grounds for calling them "dupes" or "Progressive Liberals".

Mail voting tends to be used more in Republican-leaning rural areas. The question does the word "cast" mean what is has been interpreted as meaning for the past 150 years or what the snowflakes in the MAGA movement use as their current excuse for losing elections.

That would require a change in Federal law, which explicitly allows military ballots to be received late. Note that a received by Election Day standard would not significantly speed up voting results, as the counting can't begin until the polls close and most of the ballots already arrive by...

The law was passed by the heavily Republican legislature of the state of the Mississippi in 2020. Are you stating that they are "Progressive Liberals"? Your statement about an "already-counted election" is curious. If the votes are arriving late, the counting is not finished. Mississippi law...

Laws depend on what words mean. In this case the RNC has decided to redefine "cast" from the meaning that is historically had to meaning "received". Who do you consider to be the "Progressive Liberals" in this? The Republican National Committee or the State of Mississippi? The Republican Party...

Constitutionality is not the question. Federal law specifies that all votes must be "cast" by election day. Most states have interpreted that as covering mail-in ballots as long as they were post-marked by election day. This is consistent with contractual law where tendering something into the...

That is question for the legislature not the courts to decide. The Supreme Court is not the third house of Congress.

Which they should not be doing. The law states votes must be "cast" by election date not "received" by election date. Legitimate arguments have been made for "received" but it is the job of congress not the courts to write laws.

It is fairly silly gamesmanship on the part of the Republicans. Many Republicans claim that they lose elections because of massive voting by illegal aliens and yet Republican prosecutors can rarely find any evidence. Meanwhile, the groups which would be hindered the most are the elderly and...

Good point on RCV.

It doesn't sound so easy. If your mother-in-law had no relatives to assist (and drive her to the DMV) how easy would have it been for her to manage to get ID on her own. Note that in states with mandatory ID they have disallowed college ID's in an effort to shape the electorate. Nonetheless...

As someone who is actually been involved candidate petition drives, I can tell you that fraud is rampant and that specious objections to legitimate signatures are common. Many of the rules are there to prevent independent candidates from getting on the ballot in the general election or primary.

You don't need to solve it completely. Many states have adopted some form non-partisan redistricting. The congress or the courts could require some plan with a default (like proportional representation) if they adopt a plan. Note the SAVE act prohibits Ranked Choice Voting. That makes it pretty...

Did you denounce gerrymandering in Texas or anywhere else?

It is worth noting that Governor Newsom and other leading California Democrats are opposing the wealth tax as they are concerned that it will reduce future income tax collection as well as employment. Wealth taxes are also administratively difficult, which is why they quickly abandoned when...
