    Are federal laws changed by people or politicians? People elect politicians, but I'm sure the EC isn't the only issue they vote on when electing a candidate.

    You can't argue with his supporters because reality doesn't exist for them. No matter how many facts are presented to them they are dismissed as "fake new", "liberal bias", the "far left progressives" (which have little to no influence in US politics) and then counter argue with "alternative facts".

    I'm sure the EC isn't a major issue for most voters. If it was it could be changed by popular vote.

    Absolutely.

    And when we use it, it means we're afraid to incriminate ourselves.

    nope that is absolutely not what it means
    It means 'due process' of law, nothing more.
    the rest is your prejudicial speculation.

    If youd like a further explanation
    in a deposition you simply answer questions, and depositions are designed to incriminate. BTDTBTS. Taking a deposition on cmplicated matters will most certainly incriminate you, not because you are in fact guilty but because how they paint it (spin) it on the record. Let it come out in litigation.
    Much more to that but that is th gist.

    Well, the EC can't be changed by a popular vote because it would have to be amended.

    And who votes on State matters but citizens of the United States? The States are made up of citizens that can make their wishes known.

    You mean like when Dirty Donnie tried to overturn the results of a free, fair and secure election ?

    Indeed, the Orange Orangutan tried but failed.

    Actually, with the election results certified by the counties, states and Congress, the proof is that the election was free, fair, and secure.

    I understand your desire to come to Trump's defense and I admire your devotion.

    But you shouldn't take people for fools.

    The 5th prevents our testimony from being used against us.

    Everyone knows what that means.

    Pleading the 5th doesnt indicate guilt. It just means you cant be compelled to bear witness against yourself, regardless of whether doing so would exonerate or indict oneself. Refusing to cooperate in a witchhunt is one reason why someone might refuse to bear witness against themself.

    If you were on trial and your legal council advised you to plead the 5th, would you do it?

    Right, because polls don't reflect the "will of the people". That's inconvienient for you.

    Do citizens vote on a single issue or is there more to a politician? Is it impossible for example to agree with a candidate on one issue but not on another?

    I would tell them Mr. Trump says anyone who pleads the 5th is guilty.

    That question has already been answered. Are you ignoring that or did you just miss it? Post 186
    Some are, most aren't

    Theres no judge at a deposition to keep it fair.
    Seems these guys want to bypass due process and a trial and hang first ask questions later.
    thats what keeps america free, keep up the good work

    Because it has only been "problematic" four times. Guess which party won all four but that doesn't mean the people still want it.

    Tell that to Trump. The tread is about his own thoughts on the 5th.

    Definitely sounds like something he would say. He's not a particularly thoughtful or cautious speaker...
