1). We don’t vote in U.S. Presidential Elections!
2). The NMI Indigenous People vote for a, read carefully now, Non-Voting Delegate to the U.S. Congress. Our vote counts when it doesn’t and doesn’t count when it counts. It must be an anomaly in EQUAL representation you’ve missed full square.
If your argument has any validity at all, then it would be legally true that we ALL vote for the U.S. President as U.S. Citizens. We don’t, sir!
If there’s any iota of truth to your grand legal diatribe, then the people of these islands will have benefited from EQUAL and FULL representation in the U.S. Congress. This isn’t the case, sir!
And isn’t the perpetuation of these time-honored indignities a way for us to acquiesce in silence what’s given to other U.S. Citizens? Did your arguments on equality ease the shame we had to endure since 1986?
Now, is it too difficult an issue for you as a self-appointed intellectual (and remember you declared that I am not to which I’m in full agreement) to understand this federal court ruling as constitutional? Is there anything you can legally undertake to undo this ruling, sir? So why promote an idea that you can’t legally scaffold?
Obviously, our resident intellectual has missed the boat completely. As a reader reminded you sir, sometime it’s best to remain silent and keep them guessing than utter a word only to erase all doubts.
Be that as it may, you can continue claiming your unearned trophy as an intellectual and will defer any further discussion at this level to my friend Magoo. At least his common sense often cuts a grin on my face.
