“...ONE Congressman stood up to object... to the illegal process undertaken by Pelosi and Pence in the Joint Session... and the lack of a quorum.

Pence ignored him... and proceeded without a quorum....”
****************************************************
The guy was simply trying to make a parliamentary inquiry. Pence ignored the question and said he’s not going to “debate”. Beyond not going out to dinner, without his wife, where women may be present... PENCE HAS PROVEN HIMSELF WORTHLESS, A COWARD AND COMPLICIT.

I’ve seen info that it was Sen. Ted Cruz, objecting regarding Arizona.

Note that after all the hand-wringing about protocol, and the need to follow the rules, precisely... making the Senate Parliamentarian suddenly important ?

What they did was ignore protocol entirely... along with the law and the Constitution... in a way that exceeds the Constitutional authority of the VP to Preside. He acts AS the legislative branch... in violation of the Article One powers, and his Article Two powers.

He may over-rule the Parliamentarian... but the choice to over-rule law that constrains behavior... makes the choices substantive in imposing an alternative.

Pence chose to silence legitimate dissent, obstruct legitimate process, and in consequence, end Democracy.

And since that was recognized, they send in Antifa to stop the process thus entrained before anyone could mention it, or try to stop it as a function within the divided houses.

Pence ignored him... and proceeded without a quorum. Who was that guy ?

I too saw it live on C-SPAN, which will probably re-run the proceedings later.

He was unidentified by chyron and I didn't recognize him with his mask on.

It is a perfectly legitimate question so ignore the poster who for some reason is permitted to continually stink up this forum.

I was wondering the same thing at the time.

I think he was recognized by the Chair as being from Virginia.

Could be wrong,I scanned through pics of the VA House delegation and didn’t see a close match. But those campaign pics are never current, they seek the youngest version of the congress critter they can get away with.
