Saban getting political.

He can frick off with that. Be the goat coach, don't stick your nose into stuff you know nothing about.

I'm not excited about the federal government intervening on how elections are managed but I do think federal elections would benefit from a rational and consistent form across state lines.

Leaving this process entirely to the states was a blind spot for the Founding Fathers. They never conceived of partisan politics. Ignorant in hindsight but they thought the prevailing partisanship was more crown v. parliament being 18th century anglo creatures. They couldn't help it...they were optimists about the democratic republican project. Additionally, they never imagined that the franchise would be as widely granted as it has been since the early 20th century. The audience for who got to decide the government was much smaller until the removal of property ownership restrictions, race-based restrictions, and eventually sex-based restrictions. Hell, the way senators were selected until the late 19th century didn't even involve a direct popular vote.

This is just not the federal system the Founding Fathers imagined and that's okay. It adapted to keep up with international competition and changing domestic circumstances. The federal electoral process probably should not be invested in the states because partisanship has become a delegitimatizing force against our nation. I fear that not acting on this now will just lead to even more heightened contradictions between what normal people want and outcomes in government. When those contradictions accumulate past what people can tolerate...well that's when the bloody business actually happens not the stupid LARPs at it like last January.

There was a reason no one mentioned it here

There's a political talk board. Maybe you should have posted this there.

Saban can eat a whole bag of dicks and take his arse to a liberal B10 school.

With the positive impact that Saban has had on the University, Tuscaloosa, and the State; he can openly embrace Satanism for all I care

I disagree with Saban politically, but he can do what he wants. He has freedom of speech just like everyone else.
