In the 256th episode, we explore a building movement that is not receiving the national focus that it deserves: The National Popular Vote Compact (nationalpopularvote.com). Our guest is former State Senator Ray Haynes (R-CA), president of the Institute for Research on Presidential Elections and a national spokesman for the National Popular Vote movement.Enough states have banded together to provide 195 electoral votes for the national popular vote, and once they hit 270, the national popular vote winner will be elected President of the United States as the sole determining factor for the first time in American history. Hear how the movement is progressing, how they answer critics, and when this may actually happen.

The electoral college is the subject of the 270th episode. Our guest is 35-year veteran of the conservative movement Pat Rosenstiel, who serves as senior advisor to the National Popular Vote Compact (http://www.NationalPopularVote.com). In this conversation we explore arguments for and against a national popular vote, examine how it would work, consider misperceptions, and take stock of when (or if) it will become a reality.

Our guest today is Bobby Lawrence. Bobby is the founder of ProtectYourVoteUSA.org. Bobby also created the largest and most active social media group defending the electoral college on Facebook. The main focus is defending our constitutional electoral college from the California leftwing attack known as the National Popular Vote Compact. 1) Talk to us about the NPV Agreement. What is it and why should we care? 2) What prompted you to start Protect Your Vote? 3) What’s the most common misconception you encounter? 4) Why do we have an electoral college?

The National Popular Vote Compact takes away the vote and the voice of Colorado voters and gives our vote and our voice to big population centers like LA, San Francisco, Chicago and New York.  Vote “NO” on Colorado's Ballot Question Prop 113.  In this Sounding Off with Kim Monson podcast, nationally recognized Electoral College expert, Tara Ross, explains the brilliance of the Founders in creating the Electoral College, how the Electoral College works, the consequences for America of a National Popular Vote and the false narrative that the Electoral College is a relic of slavery.  Tara Ross' Prager University video, Do You Understand the Electoral College? is Prager's most viewed video ever with more than 60 million views.

On November 14, 2019, the Federalist Society's Federalism & Separation of Powers Practice Group hosted a panel for the 2019 National Lawyers Convention at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The panel discussed "Horizontal Federalism: May States Project Their Sovereignty Beyond Their Borders?".The Supreme Court's recent decision in Franchise Tax Bd. v. Hyatt (overturning Nevada v. Hall) enforced an originalist understanding, limiting attempts by a state to extend its sovereign powers beyond its borders. Although often overlooked, vertical federalism arose in part as way of controlling the abuses of horizontal federalism under the Articles of Confederation. Some states had arguably been using their powers to infringe on the powers of other states. The Constitution’s strong federal government (yet with a limited number of powers) modified, without eliminating, horizontal federalism. The Constitution adapted from the Articles of Confederation certain horizontal provisions such as privileges and immunities, extradition, and full faith and credit. The two forms of federalism are encased within our current system of separation of powers. Vertical federalism is evident when different groups of state AGs -- Red state AGs against Obama and now Blue state AGs against Trump-- have challenged federal policies in suits filed in federal courts. Different and more difficult to challenge, however, are attempts by one state or a group of states to make its policies effectively binding on other states. Examples include sanctuary state laws, California’s Internet regulation, cities and states suing oil companies in an attempt to regulate global warming and the National Popular Vote Compact. These developments implicate not only federalism and separation of powers, but the limits of state police powers and the natural right of self-government. Do these actions by some states necessarily come at the expense of other states? Do they violate the fundamental right of citizens to be governed by their own state constitutions and the separation of powers system of the federal Constitution?*******As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speakers.Featuring:Dr. John S. Baker, Jr., Professor Emeritus, Paul M. Hebert Law Center, Louisiana State University and Visiting Professor, Center for the Constitution, Georgetown University Law CenterDr. John C.
