This is the end game. The state legislatures will appoint the presidential electors according to their authority in Article II, Sec. 1, para. 3. Hopefully, this happens and other state legislatures follow suit. It is obvious who won this election. If the court's refuse to handle the problem, then the legislatures must.

That gives us two avenues in PA - straight legislature and courts.

Aint going to happen. This is all bluster. This legislature has had plenty of time to take decisive action and they did not. Now we are supposed to believe they will seat the electors?

This a pander to the Trump base nothing more.

I agree with you 100%! It will be a much better case to win (instead of the cases pending now which most of the lower courts have shown not to want to pursue for political reasons instead of constitutional reasons) in the US Supreme Court if the issue comes down to: “Who has the ultimate legal right to select electors in each state?” If ONLY the weak Republicans would follow the PA Reps Legislators then the Left and their media allies could cry, riot, etc all they want but a 2nd Trump term could be spent uncovering ALL of these shenanigans and illegal activities and ACTUAL people but in prison! This should have been the END GAME from our side!

How, why, and at what point in time, did the PA legislature surrender the power to appoint the electors?

"...to go forward to basically take the power back from the secretary of state and put it in the state legislature to put forward the electors?”

There is no taking back anything the Governor & SOS a power they 'never' had. They were acting as legislative proxies in the appointment of electors.

All the legislature needs to do is declare/invoke their Constitution authority to appoint electors.

It's just simply saying to the Governor and SOS... "Playtime's over. You abused your trust. Now the adults will take it from here."

.......”We’re gonna hear the palpitations and you know the outcries of our Governor Wolf and Secretary Boockvar”......

On that note I have a question.......Since Wolf was sucssesful in extending a “State of Emergency” in Pa. after it went to the Supremes. Would those Governing Emergency powers allow him or the State to extend the vote count beyond the cut off date of voting the 3rd for the election because of covid..

We are at a situation where the Democrats are suborning fraud. They know what happened, but they are so power mad, so erotic about telling everyone how to live they don’t care about law and civil society. They use the Pravdistic media, both broadcast and print as their vessels to hide what is gong on. Do they really think they can waltz into power and not be challenged? These purported Republican “judges” in Pennsylvania saw no evidence of fraud? Who are they kidding? No one wants a full on shooting second civil war, but Biden is not and never will be my or anyone’s president, no matter what oath he takes. I don’t care.

BUSH v. GORE (2000)

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/531/98/

U. S. Const., Art. II, § 1. This is the source for the statement in McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U. S. 1, 35 (1892), the state legislature’s power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary; it may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself, which indeed was the manner used by state legislatures in several States for many years after the framing of our Constitution.

CHIAFALO ET AL. v. WASHINGTON (2020)

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/591/19-465/case.pdf

Article II, §1’s appointments power gives the States far reaching authority over presidential electors, absent some other constitutional constraint. As noted earlier, each State may appoint electors “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” Art. II, §1, cl. 2; see supra, at 2. This Court has described that clause as “conveying the broadest power of determination” over who becomes an elector.
