Republican Sen. Rand Paul: "My oath to the Constitution doesn’t allow me to disobey the law. I cannot vote to overturn the verdict of the states"
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Is there a “state illegality brazenness threshold line” beyond which the Senate would do something? How brazen does the state illegality have to be before the Senators would not count state electoral votes?
Another weasel speaketh.
Profiles in Chickenschiff. Rand and MANY pubbies will be in such a tome!
“The vote today is not a protest; the vote today is literally to overturn the election! Voting to overturn state-certified elections would be the opposite of what states’ rights Republicans have always advocated for. This would doom the electoral college forever. It was never intended by our founders that Congress have the power to overturn state-certified elections. My oath to the Constitution doesn’t allow me to disobey the law. I cannot vote to overturn the verdict of the states.”
Rand Paul
He and Pence are correct. The fraud had to stop at the states’ level. Michigan legislators, and certifiers, are guilty of dereliction of duty, as an example. I am disgusted with my state leaders.
What a crock.
I was hoping that Trump would have the DNI report of the evidence of fraud that he would present to Congress. And he does not have it.
So Biden become President. I know that’s tough to take but it is right under the law and the Constitution.
Rand has officially ended his support and proved himself a political coward.
its the STATES fault
That is what the constitutional conservatives are saying.... there is a split here.
No, its not. Nothing right about it at all.
‘
Rand Paul knew in May 2019 of the Biden Foreign Money Operation - and did nothing. So, he can save the Silly lectures.
the verdict of multiple states has been intentionslly thwarted by obvious fraud and cheating.
He’s right, as usual.
‘
He’s part of Corruption in Gov’t. Look the other way because they’re your friends and you’ve invested
‘
Well now they care about the constitution well well!
Rand Paul is phony coward and he is as over as the rest. He can go back to mowing his crappy lawn.
That is down to the legislatures to sort out... Not Congress.
