The President, in public (via Congress) or private.

It couldn't be unclear if they knew. a 4 star General in the field doesn't make up his own orders, nor does he get his orders from a hidden drop. He gets them from the JCS. And at the very least if the SOD tasked him, the JCS would have been in conversations at anyrate.

See your link

Caseys came across audio recordings of Nixon's conversations as well as declassified message traffic from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The material, they concluded, showed that Lavelle had "unequivocal authorization" from Nixon and senior military officials

They knew, and they also had a duty.

I didn't read the pdf's at all, but I have to wonder - why didn't the JCS stand up? Apparently Lavelle had no idea the orders came from Nixon - which had to mean he thought they came from the JCS.

I'm sure they will, doing an end run around the Constitution isn't exactly a strong defense for a bad law.

Nebraska & New Hampshire? Do you mean Nebraska and Maine?

For States, I never liked a winner take all, personally I think people live in Counties and pay taxes to Counties first, State Second, Federal third. All Federal funds for State funding ultimately get divided by Counties. As such I'd think a modification of Colorado's proposal in 2004 would be best representative of the Nation. I.E. If candidate A wins 60% of the State's Counties - they get 60% of the Electoral votes.

Every single argument against the Electoral College is a reason it was founded to begin with.

actually i'd call it illegal. The entire reason the electoral college was set up was not due to not trusting the people. A larger part of it was due to States not wanting to be held to the whim's of larger States that had a higher population.

I can find no flaws in the current Electoral College system. I do though - find flaws in the individual State's methods for awarding or counting votes.

so you feel a combined 18% negative fall as insignificant?

You feel this is spin?
