Interesting line of reasoning. Sounds right but I’m not sure what it buys us. At a minimum, at least one Senator and one representative would be required to say that they would have objected for this to carry any water.

[Safrguns]

Now HOW would the public have reacted if Cheney had polled the floor for objections????

SORE LOSER MAYBE?????

This is the loophole the libs were counting on...
That the honor and graciousness of the losers would trump following the law... and their bet paid off.

I wonder how many people will have to die before the rule of law again takes precedence again in the minds of the American people?

Thank you.I was going to bed and decided to hit the certificate button one more time. Now you made my day.

Cheney is a very smart guy. Why did he forget? Did he want to have a back insurance policy? I mean everybody in the House and Senate knows the truth.

Why did Roberts screw up the oath?

One rep? People tried to get Paul and another guy was supposedly going to speak up. I think we will find a rep.

One senator? ??

Good post rxsid. Very interesting. Bravo JoeTheBlogger. Keep ‘em honest.

We here at FR have been pointing this out since it happened on Jan 8th. See a recent discussion on this very topic here:

Panic in D.C. ? Justice urges birth suit tossed (9/7/09)

Even though "[e]very objection shall be made in writing", Cheney would still be required, under US Code, to call for any objections at the end of the Electoral Count which may have bubbled up since the beginning of that special session.

We all noted Cheney's sh!t-eating grin during the Electoral Count ... he may still have the last laugh in this:

Indeed...

Ditto!

Thanks for the ping.

I read the latest postings and comments on Leo Donofrio’s blog. What do you think Judge Carter will do with this?

At the time Cheney was calling for the state of the vote, I wonder why he did not call for objections (though none were raised). Was this deliberate on his part? It seems sort of far-fetched to conclude that he was looking forward to putting this particular snag in the fabric that could be the start of unraveling things.

I know that at the time of the state of the vote (with Congress standing and applauding heartily, from what the video shows) it was possible that some senators and representatives feared political and personal harm if they raised an objection. No matter. Cheney did not give that particular and essential part of the certification any attention, and I wonder why.

This will really torque the minds of the LIBS and RINOS when they’re confronted with violations of the US Code by Cheney and themselves.

Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof…

Interesting.....didn't know about this. What are the procedures should any objections be raised?

[STARWISE]

I know it’s ALWAYS been in the back of my mind .. even
appealed to a couple of influential people about it, but no response.

Anyone know if there is any solid legal and Constitutional impact here ?

Judge Carter,

Your Honor, if you are reading this...

Ditto!

I can just imagine how the conversation went on Jan. 7th:

Rove: So Dick, are you really going to do that?
Cheney: You better believe it, you magnificent bastard!

With Judge Carter’s reasoning guiding my analysis, I carefully examined the DOJ motion to dismiss paying special attention to the arguments made starting on page 11. When I got to page 13, I found something interesting:

Under 3 U.S.C. § 15, Congress is directed to be in session on the appropriate date to count the electoral votes for President,

-snip-

That’s an interesting quote… interesting for what the DOJ left out.

They conveniently cut the statute off when they bring it into the brief. The uncensored passage from 3 U.S.C. § 15 states:

I believe the Judge got this from Kreep's "OPPOSITION TO APPLICATION FOR LIMITED STAY OF DISCOVERY". I read it last night. And yes, Cheney did not verbally ask Congress for objections ...as do many FReepers know, who were on the live thread for that day.

[Frantzie]

I think Cheney is too smart to have made a mistake. I thinj something is up. I also think most of the people in that chamber on that day knew Obama was not eligble.

I hope Orly does EXACTLY what Leo suggests and gets a good laywer, hopefully helping her, to write it up and submit it.

Leo continues to find gems.
