Well, well, well, Justin Amash hung out to dry by the billionaire DeVos family, concerned MI-03 not getting representation
A family spokesperson added that the family had made the decision to cut ties with Amash before his controversial tweets suggesting Trump should be impeached.
“Family members have expressed increasingly concerns about a lack of representation for their district, the third congressional, and I would say an inability to advance efforts connected to important policy matters," the spokesperson told the newspaper
National Popular Vote to become law in Nevada, making it 15 states and DC trying for an end run around the Electoral College
The compact would take effect after states totaling 270 electoral votes, and with Nevada, the total would reach 195.

Some day the UK's Grauniad will learn to write the English language, but today is not that day
Ask the Queen. I'm reliably informed that she knows the answer.
Memo to Erick Erickson: One of Justin Amash's so-called pro-life principles is that it's OK to abort up to 3-days from conception
Which has been public knowledge since at least March 2013, at the start of the third year of his tenure, but y'all too damn lazy to think about that, or too damn hypocritical to care. I vote both.
Why not up to 4 days?
Why not 4.2?
Why not 42, since 42 is the answer to everything?
How about through the first trimester?
The second?
How about after delivery on Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's desk?
It's laughable to insist Amash has principles when all they are is positions, but it's even funnier to say he's an originalist:
Whether you like Justin Amash or not, he is inarguably one of the
more principled members of the Republican conference in the House of
Representatives. Amash is willing to take unpopular stands in the name
of principle. He is willing to defy his party because of those
principles. Amash is one of the more easily predictable members of
Congress in how he votes because of his principles. Amash believes in the rule of law, limited government, and an originalist interpretation of the constitution.
Originalism is such tosh. The original Constitution had no income tax, accepted slavery, provided a mechanism for the natural growth of representation, knew nothing of women's suffrage, had legislatures elect senators, and knew only sound money. Justin Amash is not known for any of these causes. He's known only for thwarting the causes of others, Republicans' mostly. All he cares about, maybe, is the Constitution as it is, not as it should be, and as real conservatives know, the current Constitution is a mess, otherwise luminaries like Mark Levin wouldn't be proposing a raft of amendments to fix it.
All this hubbub is about is Amash's Trump hatred.
Which is why NeverTrumper Erick Erickson has weighed in on Amash's side.
NAS study finds 43% of 173 bastions of American liberalism have segregated dorms, 72% segregated graduations
Separate but equal, or somethin', Mr. Plessy.
What we found was that neo-segregation is widespread if not pervasive. About 46 percent (80 colleges out of 173 surveyed) segregate student orientation programs; 43 percent (75 colleges out of the total) offer segregated residential arrangements; and 72 percent (125 colleges out of the total) segregate graduation ceremonies.
Public Opinion Research is polling this morning by telephone about possible primary challengers to Justin Amash (MI-03)
Names mentioned were:
Terri Lynn Land, age 60, the shy loser to Gary Peters for US Senate in 2014;
*James Lower, represents Michigan's 70th House District, once worked for Brian Calley, Gov. Snyder's lieutenant;
*Tom Norton, Afghan War vet, sounds a little too eager for war with Iran, seems like a nice guy but can't spell too well, is "pro-Isreal";
Matt Hall, represents Michigan's 63rd House District, endorsed by Fred Upton who seems to hate Trump as much as Amash does, also worked for Terri Lynn Land when she was Michigan Secretary of State, was a "bound delegate" for Trump in 2016;
Bill Hardiman, age 72, Vietnam vet, former black mayor of Kentwood, Michigan for a decade who went on to defeat 2012 Amash challenger Steve Pestka to serve in the Michigan state senate for two terms 2003-2011, was one of five candidates who had sought the seat from MI-03 in the 2010 Republican primary, losing to Amash.

Hey Thomas Sowell, the only person who has been term limited is precisely the wrong person to term limit
Foreign dictators like Xi Jinpingpong know they can outlast 2-term US Commanders in Chief and get away with bloody murder.
The founders didn't believe in term limits, otherwise we'd already have had them in the Constitution, but they did believe in the natural growth of representation, which a tyrannical, power hungry Congress voted to stop in 1929.
Fix that and we can vote the bastards out a lot more easily than we can now. It wouldn't take $10 million to win a lousy House seat representing thirty, forty or fifty thousand people as originally intended like it does now for districts representing on average 757,000 people, and it wouldn't if we also required all campaign money to originate in the respective districts of the representatives (states for Senators).

Justin Amash has never abandoned his principles, and neither has the Devil
If Justin Amash cared one wit about the Constitution, he'd have spent the last ten years in Congress trying to restore the natural growth of representation guaranteed by Article One of the Constitution which a tyrannical legislative took away from the people by the Reapportionment Act of 1929, fixing the number of districts at 435. Justin Amash has been quite content with this power to lord his opinion over many many hundreds of thousands of people whose views he couldn't care less about, when the founders imagined a ratio of one representative to 30,000 people. You'll never hear about that from Mr. Do Everything By The Constitution. Likewise only direct taxes were Constitutional until 1913, but you'll never hear about "originalism" from Mr. Constitution, only that "What is is holy, and we must do it that way." He's an ignoramus who says is means ought, posing as a genius. All he cares about is his view, the "right" view, and getting re-elected in order to keep imposing it.
Like millions of Christians, Justin Amash has read the Bible, too, but is the member of a sect with just 75,000 members in the US
Most people who have read the Mueller report have reached a different conclusion, including Robert Mueller.

Fascist Burger King goes after the UK's Tommy Robinson like their hamberders attack my colon
Ramones "I'm Against It": I don't like playing ping pong I don't like the Viet Cong I don't like Burger King I don't like anything
What's happened to Justin Amash is simple: He'll be off the political stage in 2021 so he has nothing left to lose
Democrats are about to redistrict him out of a job, he's isolated himself in his own party over five terms, Trump's tariffs threaten the family's Chinese tool business fortune, and his best friends are the likes of WaPo's Jennifer Rubin and union president Randi Weingarten. Might as well go all in against Trump and help deprive him of a win in Michigan while losing re-election to MI-03 or as the inglorious Libertarian Party candidate for president in 2020. It's what libertarians are best at and live to do: spoil elections. Or, just switch to the Democrat Party and go on living like Arlen Specter. Republicans could hasten things along by kicking him out of the party.
