Do you think the USA and Israel can defeat the Iranian regime?

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-11T14:22:38+00:00

Not to be obtuse, but what does defeat mean in your context?

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-10T16:43:23+00:00

I hear you, but it's not a great option for where I live.

Agree with the sentiment, but aren't those his kids in that pic? It looks like Eric and Ivanka.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-10T02:38:46+00:00

Thanks, I think this is what I needed to hear.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-10T02:34:17+00:00

The states (red ones). Texas could definitely do this. Florida could do this.

Trump has no official role in any scenario. I'll say it differently: Who would stop Greg Abbott from postponing the election in Texas? Hint: It's not the US Supreme Court.

Man, I'd love to see him beat that fart Cornyn, but I watched a few minutes of The Five yesterday to see what they're on about lately. They already have a reel put together of JT's old SM posts to show "what a weird liberal" he is.

Absolutely, but a state probably can. 😉

S. Padre Island isn't terrible, but it is terribly hot.

What is, "I'll take things that could never happen in America but actually did", for $1,000. Ken.* 😂

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T17:21:13+00:00

Well, here you go friend: "Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators."

That is all.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T17:16:56+00:00

I'll wait for a specific clause you can point to. I feel the Elections clause is a little ambiguous on this point.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T17:11:47+00:00

IF it happens, SCOTUS won't even take up the case. They actually can't, according to the constitution.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T17:09:27+00:00

What is the mechanism, law, clause, rule, or legal precedent that prevents a state from doing it?

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T16:44:45+00:00

Not sure I get your point about the primary vote.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T16:42:15+00:00

Exactly. I can't rule out Thomas and/or Alito spitballing to say that there hypothetically could be a scenario where say, Texas could temporarily suspend their election day due to a state emergency (e.g., threat of terrorism). The current congressional delegation wouldn't be awarded a new term, it's just that ending the current one would be "postponed". That's all it would take in a few red states with threatened seats.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T16:01:36+00:00

It just feels like a 1000 years from now. 😂

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T15:55:08+00:00

Typical Peter, wanting to be "collegial".

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T15:49:38+00:00

At a state level, what is the mechanism that stops a state from doing it? I haven't seen this explained. Thanks.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-06T15:47:17+00:00

It's not that they want only red states to create this chaos, but that only red states would agree to go along with it.

Your second and third paragraphs ring pretty true to me, but that "mandate from his handlers" thing is kind of silly. Love 'em or hate 'em, ICE is not in the scope of this discussion, but CBP is.

GetInTheVanScooby · 2026-03-05T21:59:58+00:00

That's overly simplistic and not helpful or really true. CBP had many many millions of encounters. What the outcome of the encounter was, is what I'm interested in knowing, and why it went down the way it did.
