Not super relevant, but a funny lesson from Ukraine is that in a peer/near-peer conflict special operations becomes dramatically less useful compared to what the US GWOT consider an optimal military make up. You need standard units, and you need them in bulk, to wage a full scale modern war.

And they choose the easy route as a general rule. Can't say I wouldn't in their situation given all they have to lose, but we need to establish consequences or it will only get worse. If obeying the law gets you punished but following illegal orders doesn't, we have a problem.

Impeach JD Vance?

Isn't that a penalty?

Not gonna go in circles on this, but I already covered that.

"The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand"

1 per 761,952 (435) is less than 1 per 30,000 (~11,048)

The clause limits the number of reps, not the number of constituents (upper bound anyway)

For the record I agree that the house should be expanded, which would rebalance the EC as well. But having less than 1 per 30,000 is constitutional per the section we are discussing, it only forbids more than that number.

I favor a modified Wyoming rule: 3 per state minimum, scaled proportionally.

You're reading that backwards
"The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand"

1 per 761,952 (435) is less than 1 per 30,000 (~11,048)

The enumeration is the redrawing of congressional districts. You could argue the mid decade redistricting is unconstitutional though.

You should reread that clause.

"The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."

Reapportionment is right there.

Skenes not here cause he doesn't have 70 starts?

Not even just the length, the amortization schedule is so much worse. You spend so much more on interest even compared to a 30-year (more than 2x at 6%).

But why? That's like 1.5% of MLB minimum, why risk it for pennies?

The first Muslim woman to win a statewide election in the US was last night. Ghazala Hashmi is the lieutenant governor elect of Virginia. She is also Asian-American.
