HITTING BACK ON TWITTER SAYING

HE IS OVERREACTING FOR POLITICAL

REASONS.

>> WE ARE COMING TO YOU LIVE

FROM THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, MANY

VOTES HERE, AS YOU CAN SEE.

VERY EFFICIENT WAY TO LEADERSHIP

OF THE COUNTRY.

>> Sandra: THAT WAS

ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, THE

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS WOMAN

CATCHING HEAT IN THE HEARTLAND

OVER THAT INSTAGRAM VIDEO WHERE

SHE IS CALLING THE ELECTORAL

COLLEGE OF RACIST SCAM.

THIS IS THE FEDERAL JUDGMENT

DEALS A MAJOR BLOW TO

PROGRESSIVE EFFORTS TO REPLACE

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE WITH A

NATIONWIDE POPULAR VOTE.

LET'S BRING IN THE FORMER

COUNSEL TO THE SENATE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE WHO JOINS US NOW.

GOOD MORNING AGREED TO HAVE YOU

HERE THIS MORNING.

YOU HEARD THE DEMOCRATIC

CONGRESSMAN THERE MAKE THAT

POINT.

WHAT DID YOU THINK?

>> I THINK IT IS PART OF A

SERIES OF EFFORTS THAT ARE

INCREASINGLY POPULAR ON THE

PROGRESSIVE LEFT TO GO AFTER THE

FUNDAMENTAL PARTS OF OUR

CONSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE AND

DELEGITIMIZE THEM AND USE

INFLAMMATORY TERMS.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE COMPLICATED

BUT SOUND ARGUMENTS FOR THE

ELECTORAL COLLEGE WHICH WERE

LAID OUT IN "THE FEDERALIST"

PAPERS BY OUR FOUNDERS.

I THINK THIS SERVES THE COUNTRY

WELL FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS,

CERTAINLY RECKLESS TO CALL THEM

RACIST.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE

ELECTORAL SYSTEM, SHE IS FREE TO

ADVOCATE FOR CONSTITUTIONAL

AMENDMENT TO DO SO BUT THIS KIND

OF LANGUAGE IS REALLY, REALLY

DESTRUCTIVE COMING FROM A MEMBER

OF CONGRESS.

>> Sandra: MEANWHILE, EXPAND

ON WHAT WE ARE SEEING FROM THIS

FEDERAL COURT AS YOU SEE ON THE

FoxNews.com HEADLINE

UNDERCUTTING PROGRESSIVE EFFORTS

TO NULLIFY THE ELECTORAL

COLLEGE, WHERE ELECTORS CAN VOTE

FREELY.

WHAT WAS THE DECISION MADE?

>> THIS IS ABOUT FAITHLESS

ELECTORS AND THE RIGHT OF

MEMBERS OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

TO VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE WHICH

IS THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTIONAL

DESIGN AND LOTS OF FOLKS ON THE

LEFT WHO DON'T LIKE THE SYSTEM

HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR WAYS WHERE

STATES CAN MAYBE FORCE THE HAND

OF THEIR ELECTORS AND THAT IS

NOT GOING TO WORK MOST LIKELY.

IF YOU WANT TO RESTRUCTURE THE

SYSTEM, YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT

USING THE TOOLS THE FOUNDERS

GAVE US WHICH IS ARTICLE FIVE OF

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE

AMENDMENT PROCESS.

OBVIOUSLY SPEAKING OUT IN

PARTICULAR, THE SENATOR REACTING

TO WHAT SHE HEARD THERE, SHE

SAID ACTUALLY TWEETING DIRECTLY

AT HER, ELIMINATING THE

ELECTORAL COLLEGE WOULD SILENCE

OUR VOICES HERE IN IOWA

AND MANY OTHER STATES ACROSS

THE COUNTRY.

SHE THEN MADE THE CASE AND THAT

TWEAK, THIS IS JUST MORE

EVIDENCE OF HOW OUT OF TOUCH THE

DEMOCRATS HAVE BECOME.

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF ALL

OF THIS IS YOU LOOK AT THE LEGAL

ASPECTS OF WHAT IS BEING

DISCUSSED AS WE QUICKLY APPROACH

2020?

>> IT IS JUST UNFORTUNATE THAT

WE SEE THESE TWO SIDES OF THE

COUNTRY COMING APART AND THE

LEFT CASTING MUCH OF THE FEDERAL

STRUCTURE, THE EXISTENCE OF THE

SENATE, THE EXISTENCE OF THE

FILIBUSTER, THE SEPARATION OF

POWER, ALL LEGITIMATE AND ALL

PART OF A CONSPIRACY WE NEED TO

FIND WAYS TO COME TOGETHER AS A

COUNTRY WHICH IS WHAT THAT

STRUCTURE IS MEANT TO DO.

IT IS MEANT TO CREATE A SYSTEM

IN WHICH PEOPLE FROM GREAT

CONCENTRATIONS OF WEALTH AND

POWER THE CITY OF NEW YORK WHERE

CONGRESSWOMAN COMES FROM.

IF IT IS MEANT TO MAKE THEM

APPEAL TO THE BROAD SWATH OF THE

COUNTRY TO RURAL AREAS AS WELL

AS URBAN AND HOPEFULLY THE SAME

WOULD HAPPEN VICE VERSA.

>> Sandra: IT IS BACK AND

FORTH IN THE DISCUSSION AND AT
