re: #351 goddamnedfrank

It’s wasn’t an issue because Robert’s Court hadn’t yet cooked it up out of whole cloth. The ruling is a defensive adaptation, the Republican Party evolving to try and compete in a modern world where their hateful, bigoted, revanchist bullshit no longer sold well. They don’t change the horrible ideologies that are the problem, but instead just try to find ways to game the system for as long as possible.

For example, I fully expect to see any swing states or blue states whose voters are stupid enough to let the GOP retain power at the state level in the 2014 midterms to find ways to give the GOP candidate in 2016 electoral votes.

It will be interesting to see how apologists and hacks at NRO and elsewhere try to spin that abomination.
