Good - we watched the whole thing yesterday and around 1930 hrs, as they were wrapping up, their guy said they were calling for a special session even as we were watching.

This is false! Random tweets aren’t sources! This thread needs to be removed. There’s enough confusion and this is patently FALSE.

All Giuliani needs is one, JUST ONE state to exercise their Article 2 powers and he has a strong case to take to the Supreme Court.

I don’t believe he needs enough states that bring the total EC votes for Biden under 270.

He just needs to show one state willing to step up and refuse or nullify certification due to fraud or go the extra mile to seat the electors for the candidate they believe is the winner, President Trump.

Comments welcome.

I started a thread on the issue of Legislative vs. Electoral Sessions of a state legislature:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3910992/posts
It has the relevant text of McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1 (1892) that set the precedent that the state legislature acts independent of the other organs of a state, such that it is the representative of the state, when appointing presidential electors.

My point is that not all of the powers of a legislature are legislative. In the case of an impeachment, the Senate has a judicial function and the lower house is a prosecutor. In the case of appointing presidential electors, the function of the legislators is electoral. The purpose of state constitutions in places like GA, that require the governor to call the legislature in a special session after certain events to pass new legislation, has no bearing on the prerogatives of the legislature to appoint presidential electors, a federal electoral power. This is not about passing new legislation. No special session of the legislature is required.
