So electors will decide who is fit to be president?

" 'Well, the "let's make excuses for Hillary's loss" crowd have now gone from the silly to the insane.  They are now asking electors to vote their conscience – a rather bizarre suggestion, since I voted for Mr. Trump rather than a specific elector in Texas."

Silvio Canto, Jr.  "Let me take you back eight years, to the eve of the electors voting for then-senator Obama. 
  

"My guess is that many of you agreed with me that Mr. Obama was unfit to be president.  In fact, we knew nothing about him other than that he was over 35 years old and had lived in Illinois for the last 14 years.  He met the U.S. Constitution's requirements to be president, as outlined in Article 2:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

"It did not occur to me that we should go out and hire a bunch of spokesmen to call on electors to say Senator Obama was unfit to be president.

"We could have argued that the Founding Fathers wanted only serious people to serve as president – not a bad argument, considering that Mr. Obama ran a campaign of slogans with very little substance.  We could have added that Mr. Obama's citizenship was an open question and made reference to the Clinton campaign's charges that he was not born in the U.S.

"Again, I would have rejected any such efforts on the grounds that Mr. Obama had won the election.     

"Well, the "let's make excuses for Hillary's loss" crowd have now gone from the silly to the insane.  They are now asking electors to vote their conscience – a rather bizarre suggestion, since I voted for Mr. Trump rather than a specific elector in Texas.

"It gets even more bizarre to hear these "spokesmen" talk about the intent of the Founding Fathers.  Will they join us and say the Founding Fathers did not intend to have abortion and marriage decided by the Supreme Court?   

"In the end, this is nothing but more whining by a pack of sore losers.   

"I am not a psychiatrist, but maybe this is one of the stages of grief, as my friendMark Davis wrote in Dallas:

The stages of grief defined by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross in 1969 have a final destination that would be of great value to those still struggling with the election: acceptance.

"Yes, acceptance is right.  Mr. Trump won, and Mrs. Clinton lost.  It's time to move on and let the next team get ready for the many challenges awaiting them, from Aleppo to Obamacare."

Report: ‘Faithless Elector’ Lied About Being A 9/11 First Responder

Daily Caller

"The Texas elector who cited his experience as a 9/11 first responder for his refusal to vote for President-elect Donald Trump appears to have fabricated the entire thing, according to an investigation by local news outlet WFAA.

"Chris Suprun said he responded with the Manassas Park, Va., fire department after the third plane hit the Pentagon during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But WFAA’s investigation reveals that the department wasn’t among those responding to the attacks. What’s more, Suprun didn’t even join the fire department until October 2001 — a month . . .  after the attacks." . . .

The Trump Cabinet: Bonfire of the agencies

"Pruitt has been deemed unfit to serve because he fails liberalism’s modern-day religious test: belief in anthropogenic climate change. They would love to turn his confirmation hearing into a Scopes monkey trial. Republicans should decline the invitation. It doesn’t matter whether the man believes the moon is made of green cheese. "

Charles Krauthammer

"Hypocrisy aside, it is true that, as head of Exxon Mobil, Tillerson made major deals with Russia, received Russia’s Order of Friendship and opposed U.S. sanctions. That’s troubling but not necessarily disqualifying. At the time, after all, Tillerson was acting as an agent of Exxon Mobil, whose interest it is to extract oil and make money.

"We don’t know. We shall soon find out. That’s what confirmation hearings are for.

"The left has been in equally high dudgeon that other Cabinet picks appear not to share the mission of the agency which they have been nominated to head. The horror! As if these agency missions are somehow divinely ordained. Why, they aren’t even constitutionally ordained. The Department of Education, for example, was created by President Carter in 1979 as a payoff to the teachers’ unions for their political support." . . .

"It doesn’t matter whether the man believes the moon is made of green cheese. The challenges to EPA actions are based not on meteorology or theology, but on the Constitution. The issue is that the EPA has egregiously exceeded its authority and acted as a rogue agency unilaterally creating rules unmoored from legislation."
