Isn’t this unconstitutional?

Likely. I can think of a few ways this might end up in front of the SCOTUS, mostly because states have too much autonomy over running their own elections for "National Popular Vote" to be a meaningful thing.

  • The national vote is close even though no individual state is. A compact state demands another state do a recount and gets told to where to stick it.
  • Any state enacts a voting reform incompatible with NPV. Instant Runoff Voting is one such reform that has already been implemented in at least one compact state for non-presidential elections. IRV is a particularly fun example because if every state used it you could have, albeit under very unusual circumstances, an election where Jill Stein wins the IRV in every state and electoral district and is poised to become president with all 538 votes, until the compact states give their votes to Donald Trump because he won the National Instant Runoff Vote.
  • A non-competitive state used any of several legal or illegal means to run up the score for their statewide winner. IRV shows up again in this column since instead of having runoffs until majority, they could be run until unanimity. Also things like kicking a major candidate off the ballot, or lowering the voting age to 15, or giving voting rights to non-citizen residents.

As if the Constitution means anything anymore. We still have FISA courts.

Pilpul can make anything possible. Anything. “Shall not be infringed” and “AR15s and all semi autos are banned” = “constitutional” because of Jewish pilpul. “The right to free speech” and “I have the right to sexualize your children and brainwash them into destructive self harm” is a-okay because Jewish pilpul.

Pilpul is literally the way Jews rhetorically manipulate words and phrases to mean anything but what the original message was actually intended to convey. The earliest example is when greedy Jews were pissed that one of God’s laws said the working during the sabbath was a sin. So what’s a greedy kike to do? “Ah! Well, see if my SLAVE is actually the only one physically touching the money during transactions then TECHNICALLY it’s not “working on the sabbath”! I can open up shop on the sabbath and make shekels and be ‘legal’ as long as I don’t physically touch the money from a customer!”. This is THE example of Jewish pilpul. And every time you hear some headline about some rat fuck murderer, rapist, bank executive, or politician getting off the hook because of a legal technicality——THAT is the result of Jewish pilpul. The subversion of Justice.

The kike sages were the inventors of legalese. Look everywhere else on Earth back then, no other society had that shit, even the Greeks and Romans.
