Vary good column, especially the section dealing with Mike Pence’s duty to call out the states that submitted electoral votes not in compliance with state law.
By that time, all of the courts, including (IIRC) Scotus, had punted.
Thanks very much, Jacquerie!
I’ve been amazed at how many people on the right have argued with me about that point. I keep rethinking it, trying to figure out if they might be correct.
But the more I think about it, the more sure I am that the only way that section makes sense is if the Framers intended the vice president to be the last wall, the last checkpoint, the last opportunity to protect the country from a coup.
