That law is likely unconstitutional.
Oh, I agree with that. They were trying to get a Constitutional Amendment just by passing a law. But it doesn’t work that way.
But it remains an interesting fact that Pence COULD have done what Trump was hoping he would do. Ask the states to double-check their counting. The Democrats clearly know that Pence COULD have done this. That’s why the Democrats staged J6. They wanted to make damn sure that Pence did not exercise the power that he had. The Democrats obstructed an official proceeding so that they could move into an emergency session. Maybe someone should ask the Supreme Court if that’s kosher.
