He’s right - the Constitution is clear. It’s amazing that a majority of FR would have preferred Pence to ignore the Constitution and gone rogue when the same people would violently oppose the other side doing the same thing.

It's not just Freepers, this type of thinking is common with hosts on NewsMax and RAV, etc. But to be honest, no "fraud" (an actual legal term) was ever presented back then, or even since. The state legislatures all certified their electors, which is where protests are to be settled. The US Congress is just a ceremonial process, that's necessary to make it official.

And Congress had nothing they could really hold on to, to justify not accepting the state's appointed electors. To this day there's still not one first hand witness to any wide scale cheating. Doesn't mean cheating didn't happen, but you would need some real evidence like that to disavow the electors that the states all sent to be counted by Congress.

Had Pence even tried to block the counting, both him and Trump would have been immediately impeached, and removed from office. They impeached Trump anyway just for calling a protest that day, but he wasn't removed because the electoral college vote did actually go through.

There's no doubt there were "irregularities" that needed investigation, and the time to investigate before the electoral college was unfortunately short. But you can't not follow the Constitution in times of crisis like that. That's what this country is based on. And after all this time there still is nothing concrete you can hang your hat on that proves the election was stolen. That's why more and more people like Scott are still saying they did the right thing by certifying the state's electors, as the Constitution REQUIRES.

Whether or not there is at least some discretion in the hands of the VPrexy was an open question, and, because Pence took the ceremonial route, remains an open question.

Reasonable minds can disagree. Senator Scott’s obviously did.

At least in This Guy’s opinion.

That’s insane illogical thinking. There were tons of proof it was stolen.

I started reading this, and I thought to myself, another person shilling for the other side, and then I looked down at the name, and see one of the usual suspects.

The fraud was massive. Those of us who have read about it have some idea of just how massive the fraud was. Others like you, ignore the evidence and just keep parroting the propaganda that the corrupt power structure of DC wants people to believe.

Did’t the boss remind you this was Trump country here a few days ago?

You did your “Eddie Haskell” impression for him and now you are back helping out Joe Biden.
