"Baca and Nemanich in December filed a federal lawsuit challenging a Colorado state law that requires presidential electors to vote for the winner of the popular vote, saying that the founders intended for electors to be able to vote their conscience." The first and second part of that quote are two entirely different things. "Colorado state law that requires presidential electors to vote for the winner of the popular vote". That's pretty cut and dry... "saying that the founders intended for electors to be able to vote their conscience." That has absolutely nothing to do with voting for your states' winner of the popular vote. Colorado has 9 Electoral College votes. It also has a population of ~5,541,000. That means each Electoral College vote represents about 615,666 votes. Why should these two people be able to completely nullify ~1,231,333 votes because they are trying to change the outcome of someone they didn't have to cast their votes for anyways?	00	not toxic
The reason I can question how they spend it is because when (most of them) blow it, they come crying about how they can't live without out, the sky is falling. How many people below the poverty income level have Apple phones at $800 a pop, how many have gaming consoles and the lasted electronic games, how many have newer cars that they don't really have a need for (a car yes, but that fancy one they're driving). Then when all of the PFD money is gone they're going to complain even louder when their actions will lead to a State income tax - you and I are going to enjoy that won't we?	00	not toxic
If there is no requirement in the recall definition that it only be used in certain cases then it seems to me the citizens can use recall for whatever reasons they choose.

Canada cannot be neither bullied nor tamed by a terminal addiction to tweets galore. As Harvey shows, we all are vulnerable in this world ( regardless of so much "success ..."). That said, whoever thinks (?) that the price of "success" is to infringe on others an arrogant, aural, tweet of a stupidity that feeds a gone fishing, resentful base that denies the interconnection of life, the environment per se, then Canad must be "successful" in facing the bully in the eyes without disrespecting the humanness of the one to whom life seems to be a compulsive tweet But not Canada.

If you are a landlord, and can't raise the rent to cover your increases in costs, one might suggest that the units won't be taken care of all that well, in short you might get what you pay for. If you are considering becoming a landlord, you might re think that strategy and not renovate your home or purchase a second house or condo which results in less choice for the tenants.	00	not toxic
Gordon I agree with you in that it doesn't matter what the reason behind GE's advertising it a good thing to see a spotlight on women who have made great impacts in/on the sciences. Too often they were regulated to hidden tasks while the men took credit. There are many young women and men who need to see that women have long been an asset in science. As for the push for the STEM academys, push for everyone to enter the STEM fields, if everyone does it then the market will be flooded with engineers, etc. I encourage all young men and women find a passion you are interested in that can earn you a living and provide for you and your family. Doing a job you hate to make a living for long periods of time because you are stuck there is a horrible life.	00	not toxic

Mekun, you seem unaware of your own history. This country has been a giant affirmative action program for people that Europe didn't need or want. Those folks were so violent that they committed ethnic cleansing of the natives. Then they built the macro economy on race based slavery. In 1860, 80% of the wealth of the nation was in black slaves and their labor. The civil war between white racists and black folks has never really ended. As a beneficiary of AA, you don't know what you have earned and what you were given for just showing up white. Get a good education. Globalization is not kind to the poorly educated.	00	not toxic

I understand that there is great security in having things stay the same -- in a constantly-changing world, there is security in a religion that doesn't change. But everything changes -- everything, and I think (no one must agree -- it's only what I think) that love and charity must win out over legalism. Otherwise, all we have is a religion ruled by celibate Pharisees and adhered to by lifeless Pharisees.	00	not toxic
J Hamstra, You basically parroted the approach of the article. I posted the partial validity of it. Are you acquainted with the Kohlberg model? You post about "rare occasions". In life and at church it is less rare. At a place of work the motivations are pay and being fired. SDA are worldly, insubordinate rebels. Why do you think preachers keep presenting sermons urging bible study and proper Sabbath observance..etc. Sermons are basically chew out sessions and inept shallow religious therapy sessions.. Also think of where Jesus said to the disciples, I no longer call you servants but friends. He is alluding to internal motivation. The SDA denomination needs a wake up call & reality check. Members will continue to be Laodicean lukewarm losers as long as pastors & leaders are satisfied with "playing church."	11	toxic
AF: "entirely separate". - yes and no. Both are directly related to immigration. The legal refugee vetting process is way too cumbersome and needs to be reformed.

Invited to reply as to how we could have avoided this fiasco in the first place: (my suggestions) Rules for Presidential elections & Candidates: 1. Cannot receive $ campaign contributions from foreign countries 1.a: Cannot receive $ campaign funding from Corporations - only individuals 1.b: A cap must be placed on said donations 2. Disqualified if exposed having financial investments to the Military complex or designated resources (benefitting from war) Candidate or Contributors. 3. All voters must 'register' with verifiable ID and be 'legal' citizens. period. 4. Said election votes must be certified by a multiple independent auditors PRIOR to appointment (to thwart conspiring or collusion) 5. Presidential Candidates exposed before or after Election who have been found to have been 'bought'; foreign or domestic, or enact Executive Orders in secrecy, or engage in wars without public consent, will be ousted. ...Currently, compared to our Gov Authorities, we are all 2nd class citizens	00	not toxic

m: Yes I can and quite easily. There is no other tax that you can groom as easily as a sales taxes. You can exempt essentials, you can control the amount you pay by judicious spending. What's not to like about it except that everyone has to pay unlike an income tax where only some (estimated to be less than 50%) have to pay. A sales tax doesn't lend itself so easily to your favored redistribution of wealth ploy but it is by far the fairest and even you should understand that.	00	not toxic

I'm disappointed. The Post is leaving out the biggest beneficiary of occupational licensing: politicians. See, in exchange for writing occupational licensing laws, industry associations write politicians big campaign contribution checks, which inevitably favor the incumbents who write the laws. Without occupational licensing the opportunity for graft drops, reducing the likelihood that the incumbent politician will be reelected. So occupational licensing laws have a moral side too: Even if it saves the reelection campaign of just one politician, aren't licensing laws worth it?	00	not toxic
I assume that Mr. Pedersen is NOT a big fan of the Constitution, or the Separation of Powers it provides. So, when Trump, agreeing with a federal court that obama's back alley payments to insurance companies was illegal and UNconstitutional, Pedersen's response is "screw the law AND the Constitution" the end justifies the means. ANY republican politician who is OK with unconstitutional acts by ANY of the 3 branches of government needs to be tossed out of office on his a$$. WE have Congress passing laws that are NOT within their enumerated powers...we have (had) and executive branch writing laws (obama's DACA in example), and a federal court system that legislates from the bench. ALL 3 branches have far exceeded their Constitutional enumerated powers and authority. It's time we hold them to the Constitution. You want more power & authority? Then follow Article V. Until then, every unconstitutional act by the federal government in the past 2 decades needs to be undone.	00	not toxic

I, for one, Malamute Matt, would happily state unto your face, everything I have ever posted here, which is why I use mine own real name. And should conversation ever actually occur, I would tell you, that within mine own belief system, that Clinton, and their ilk, are much more aligned unto the "Hitleresque" ideology than Trump, and his supporters shall ever be. I am not a Trump supporter, but rather an individualist Libertarian, and voted Libertarian, but I shall tell you this, as I would directly unto you, should we ever actually meet. The individual, within this Nation of citizens, matters much more than whatever demographic they belong unto, as assigned by our Government, and that is all the Woodrow Wilson Progressives, and Liberals see, and care about. Always the demographic. Never the individual. And as such, the Woodrow Wilson Progressives, the leftist radicals, and the Marxists, hold no actual power, as individuals are stronger than the demographic they are a part of.	00	not toxic

I have to say that this has been my deepest fear, out of all the fearful stands he takes. OK, he starts WWIII, we're all toast, over and out.

He has dumped all the rhetoric in the campaign about pulling out and learned the reality of dealing with Afghanistan-- not easy to pull out and leave it as a base for terrorists. Read what the Alt Right media like Breitbart who wanted a pullout are saying-- they say another "blank check" like Obama gave away-- no timeline-- no real objective-- just "win" and policy is just Obama 2.0-- Trump learned the downside and pulling out and dropped it-- the things he himself called for and he fired Bannon who pushed for it.

I don't agree with you....I think Trump is a fascist....associates with other authoritarian types....in Russia, North Korea etc.... A study of the early 30s in Germany with some very distressed Germans (our Trump supporters) who felt the system had not treated them fairly et al and turned to Hitler a demagogue who pushed racial superiority et al and encouraged racial hatred (you are aware of the White Supremecist support for Trump) ....... I think there are parallels....Hitler didn't start off as President ...he moved through several layers of govt....but his appeal to a certain kind of German was overwhelming.....these guys talk about its being a "movement".....I think they are right....and we need to be very aware of that ....hate filled history CAN repeat itself......	00	not toxic

Oh Tim, if only history were so black and white! As someone who also taught social history at the UO I'd say your remarks, while humorous, reflect quite a one sided view of a man who had a huge impact, good and bad, on Oregon history. Yes, General Joseph Lane fought in the Mexican War, fought Indians, supported slavery for a time, was a fanatic supporter of states rights, supported the South's right to Secession, and ran as a VP candidate in the breakaway Southern Democrat party. Whew. He was also known as honest, hard working, a great leader in developing Oregon's government , courageous, so respected by the Takelma (Rogue) Indians that one took the name Chief Joe. Following the disgrace of his pro-South political debacle he lived in the hills almost as a hermit with only Peter Waldo, a young black man, as company once Polly died. In his old age he apologized for his youthful extremism, moved to Roseburg and was honored by Republican's from Douglas County to Eugene's OSJ.	00	not toxic

Easy does it. Glenn Oshiro wasn't making this up on his own, he was satirizing the president-elect's choice of locker room banter. If Glenn Oshiro's post makes you uneasy, please address complaints to the president-elect, but don't label Glenn Oshiro uncivil and then cavil at his comment's longevity. That said, I appreciate CB's effort to make a space for civil discourse. In my opinion, the discourse in the CB comments section is sufficiently civil as it stands.

That's odd. The online version of the Oxford English Dictionary defines charisma in this way: "1. noun, Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others." Even by a brief dictionary definition of charisma, the term does not suit Trump. Trump has devoted adherents, as does any country's leader. But he does not have compelling attractiveness or charm. He's not a charismatic president. He's the antithesis of one. And when one fleshes out the notion of a charismatic leader into its common attributes, the term suits Trump even less. The above also speaks to why Trump was elected. Typically, America's political leaders ARE charismatic. They're charming, admirable, and attractive in so many ways. But Trump tapped into a current of public distrust in career politicians. Doing so helped bring him success. He would have had a hard time doing that if he seemed like every political leader.	00	not toxic

The reason I can question how they spend it is because when (most of them) blow it, they come crying about how they can't live without out, the sky is falling.

Then when all of the PFD money is gone they're going to complain even louder when their actions will lead to a State income tax - you and I are going to enjoy that won't we?

If there is no requirement in the recall definition that it only be used in certain cases then it seems to me the citizens can use recall for whatever reasons they choose. Trying to impose your standard is ridiculous. If a standard is required, let it become part of the statute that defines how, when, and why someone may be recalled.

If you are a landlord, and can't raise the rent to cover your increases in costs, one might suggest that the units won't be taken care of all that well, in short you might get what you pay for.

Gordon I agree with you in that it doesn't matter what the reason behind GE's advertising it a good thing to see a spotlight on women who have made great impacts in/on the sciences. Too often they were regulated to hidden tasks while the men took credit. There are many young women and men who need to see that women have long been an asset in science. As for the push for the STEM academys, push for everyone to enter the STEM fields, if everyone does it then the market will be flooded with engineers, etc. I encourage all young men and women find a passion you are interested in that can earn you a living and provide for you and your family. Doing a job you hate to make a living for long periods of time because you are stuck there is a horrible life.

Why do you think preachers keep presenting sermons urging bible study and proper Sabbath observance..etc. Sermons are basically chew out sessions and inept shallow religious therapy sessions.. Also think of where Jesus said to the disciples, I no longer call you servants but friends. He is alluding to internal motivation. The SDA denomination needs a wake up call & reality check.

All voters must 'register' with verifiable ID and be 'legal' citizens. period. 4. Said election votes must be certified by a multiple independent auditors PRIOR to appointment (to thwart conspiring or collusion) 5. Presidential Candidates exposed before or after Election who have been found to have been 'bought'; foreign or domestic, or enact Executive Orders in secrecy, or engage in wars without public consent, will be ousted. ...Currently, compared to our Gov Authorities, we are all 2nd class citizens

I'm disappointed. The Post is leaving out the biggest beneficiary of occupational licensing: politicians. See, in exchange for writing occupational licensing laws, industry associations write politicians big campaign contribution checks, which inevitably favor the incumbents who write the laws. Without occupational licensing the opportunity for graft drops, reducing the likelihood that the incumbent politician will be reelected. So occupational licensing laws have a moral side too: Even if it saves the reelection campaign of just one politician, aren't licensing laws worth it?

ANY republican politician who is OK with unconstitutional acts by ANY of the 3 branches of government needs to be tossed out of office on his a$$. WE have Congress passing laws that are NOT within their enumerated powers...we have (had) and executive branch writing laws (obama's DACA in example), and a federal court system that legislates from the bench.

That's odd. The online version of the Oxford English Dictionary defines charisma in this way: "1. noun, Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others." Even by a brief dictionary definition of charisma, the term does not suit Trump. Trump has devoted adherents, as does any country's leader. But he does not have compelling attractiveness or charm. He's not a charismatic president. He's the antithesis of one. And when one fleshes out the notion of a charismatic leader into its common attributes, the term suits Trump even less. The above also speaks to why Trump was elected. Typically, America's political leaders ARE charismatic. They're charming, admirable, and attractive in so many ways. But Trump tapped into a current of public distrust in career politicians. Doing so helped bring him success. He would have had a hard time doing that if he seemed like every political leader.
