The Next Jan. 6

Democrats have spent much of the 2024 campaign reminding Americans of what happened on Jan. 6, 2021. But on Capitol Hill, some are already getting worried about Jan. 6, 2025.

They are hoping that Harris will win in November and they’ll flip the House, too — meaning it would likely be HAKEEM JEFFRIES holding the speaker’s gavel as the process of certifying a Harris victory gets underway.

But it’s another scenario that is nagging top House Democrats — that Speaker MIKE JOHNSON might keep his majority as Harris wins and find himself in a position where he could obstruct the counting of electoral votes and possibly throw the election to the House under the constitutional provisions of the 12th Amendment.

Johnson, after all, led House Republicans in filing an amicus brief after the 2020 election asking the Supreme Court to essentially overturn swing-state results, an effort personally blessed by DONALD TRUMP. Now, he’s leading a charge suggesting that undocumented immigrants are voting en masse in what Democrats view as a coordinated effort to sow doubt in the election and lay the groundwork for mischief.

Adding to the anxiety is that Johnson, in the post-election period, might also be in a leadership dogfight where he might be compelled to prove his mettle to MAGA-minded members — not to mention Trump himself — by pledging to challenge the election results.

Politico is now admitting that the process is Constitutional? Will wonders never cease?

Next time it will be hundreds of thousands armed citizens.

“Each house shall be the judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members”

Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 5

The Republican House of Representatives can adjudicate any matter which may present itself during a federal House candidate election, such as conducting a signature verification.

The Republican House might have special masters appointed by each state Republican party (and Democratic party if it wishes to participate) adjudicate (and validate) each voter and each ballot that comes in by mail or is to be dropped into a drop box.

The adjudications would need to be done right then and there in most cases. That would require preparation.

Just a reminder that Pelosi turned the Capitol into an armed camp on Jan 20th 2021 when she replaced citizen spectators to FJB’s inauguration with 25,000 soldiers.

Yeah, we have a republic. /s
