The writer of the Justia.com article, Vikram David Amar, has
proposed a plan to end-around the Electoral College, another obvious anti-Trump measure. Amar is a very partisan commentator. The webpage bio of Amar gives no indication of his bias:
Vikram David Amar is the Dean and Iwan Foundation Professor of Law at the University of Illinois College of Law on the Urbana-Champaign campus. Immediately prior to taking the position at Illinois in 2015, Amar served as the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and a Professor of Law at the UC Davis School of Law. He has also had teaching stints at three other law schools affiliated with the University of California: the UC Berkeley School of Law; the UCLA School of Law; and UC Hastings College of the Law.
As for Matt Ford, well the tone of his article pretty much reveals he is very far from being a Trumpster.
That is not to say who is correct. But Amar is the one who did not self-reveal his bias and who is heading up an effort to frustrate the US Constitution's design of of the Electoral College. The EC was designed to make difficult what Amar wants to enable, a few populous states or cities oppressing and exploiting less populous states and rural regions.
