Yeah, I should have been following this months/years ago. But, it’s not even our job to do this stuff.

I can’t find anything definitive as of yet, but it seems to me Cheney should have brought it up right after the count, right when Pelosi last interrupted him starting the applause and standing ovation.

Maybe a lawyer/Constitutional lawyer can speak up and reference or explain what just happened.

I found reference to Federal Rules regarding counting of the Electoral Vote in an article from back in 2004 (when the Dems. objected). From that article it appears that the objection has to be filed by at least one member of the House, and one member of the Senate. My guess at this point is that there is not one Republican Senator in Washington that was even willing to broach this subject...

I’ll post a link if I find an official rules site.

3 USC 15 - Section 15

“Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.”

http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/3/usc_sec_03_00000015——000-.html

If I’m reading this right, no one objected in writing beforehand, so Cheney didn’t have to call for it.

Do we need the media? We can make noise almost as effectively, now, and can run almost stealthy info campaigns using wikis and youtube.

Not as efective as Meet The Press but it has been shown to make an impact, ask John Kerry!

They can certify all day long, it means nothing. Until he releases documents to verify his past, he's a phony.

I’m still trying to rationalize this.
EITHER:

1. The Republicans can’t wait to hand over the “hot potato” to Obama.

2. The gov’t is just hoping to limp along till Dec 2012 when the world ends.

3. Aliens are really in control anyway, the rest is sham gov’t.

4. ALL OF THE ABOVE.....

Either way I need to subscribe to Mother Jones, and Survivalist magazines!

The sentence before that though, is where the VP is supposed to call for any objections. If any, they should be in writting (as in, already prepared and ready to hand in). At least, that how I"m reading it:

"Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any.[Then...] Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received."

Yeah, it does say ‘if any’, however. I’ll look into that some more soon. Maybe we can find out if there were any written objections, which Cheney subsequently ignored... There was at least one congressman, whose name escapes me at the moment, that stated an inclination towards objection. Would be ‘interesting’ to figure out why no one seems to know or care that he’s not qualified to be president.

Thanks for the vid, appreciate it.
