( forgot we could 'add topic' )
Only if it happened after the Electoral College vote. If it happened beforehand we would see the EC vote swing to Biden or Hillary Clinton, I'd imagine.
How is this NOT 'breaking' ?
How is it possible to move it to breaking or another topic?
And then here: Click to Add Topic
In the 'add topic' box you'd type breaking, as I did earlier.
BUT the mod/s for whateverthehell reason, seem to think this possible Constitutional bombshell is only worthy of 'chat' status, hence it's current location.
I don't bitch too often about other than trolls, but this is totally lame
And I hope, after all this typing, you're not a troll,
cuz I'll work to get your account nuked in a f'n heartbeat.
Obviously not a troll if you see my responses above.
Like they give a rat's patoot? That already happened with Roe v. Wade, and that case this last year where a 5-4 majority said that states couldn't protect little children from child rape by using the death penalty. Liberals would make the point that they did so when they reviewed the voting in Florida in 2000.
I was hanging my hopes on the American people, that enough of them would see the utter stupidity of voting for an empty suit spouting meaningless buzz words. I was wrong. Some of you prefer to keep thinking that there will be some magical happenstance that keeps Zero from taking the oath of office. Well, have your fun as long as you want, when the SCOTUS finally slams the window on your fingers, you can join the rest of us who are analyzing how best to show the sheeple the mistake they made.
Then if the SCOTUS fails to perform to hold up this important part of the Constitution, we go to plan b, whatever that might be. But for now, I’m hanging on every second of this SCOTUS process with high hopes that they uphold the letter of the law as stated in the United States Constitution.

Sorry, forgot to include that the cite also includes the Alan Keyes case and is tracking the others, too.

Good to hear from you Ms. Brockhausen.
Do you have a hearing date yet for your case in Texas?
Well, if you ever actually read about the history behind the case you will find out that if the Florida Supreme Court had done their job correctly and not been a bunch of pro Gore partisan hacks, the SCOTUS most likely would have never been involved.
Kennedy was the only Justice actively trying to get the case kicked up to them.
They rest did not want to be involved at all, since whatever way they ruled, public opinion would think they (s)elected Bush or Gore and diminish the credibility of the court, plus they were very concerned about having to settle and make precedent deciding very important election in the future.
Another reason they were loath to jump into the fray was there is very little previous law or decisions on deciding basically a state issue.
Rehnquist, Thomas, Scaila, are or were all federalist and believe states should decide their own problems with as little federal powers being involved as possible
I'm putting my bong down now.
“Well, if you ever actually read about the history behind the case you will find out that if the Florida Supreme Court had done their job correctly and not been a bunch of pro Gore partisan hacks, the SCOTUS most likely would have never been involved.”
Well ... DUH!
My point was that when the case was in their laps, SCOTUS did the right thing.
Wasn’t even close - it was a slam dunk 14th Amendment case.
AND, you are MOST certainly correct - it should NEVER have gotten to them in the first place ...
But, the lily-livered FL SCOTUS screwed the pooch ...
