Exactly. The court would have immediately shot it down. The Q bots had swallowed the whole scenario hook line and sinker. Trump hurt himself badly by calling Pence out. Hope he survives the Senate vote......
Bull! It would have been the right and honorable and Constituional thing to do. Pence chose the path of those involved in the overthrow of a the President of the United State of America.
The real problem was Trump’s lawyers wasted so much time “building their case” when the trial was being played out in the court of public opinion. They should’ve presented whatever case they had.
He could have placed the votes aside from disputed states. It could then go to the Supreme Court. It would be found a legitimate tactic, due to questionable practices. That would then throw the votes back to the state’s Congressional representatives to vote for the state.
He could’ve required an inspection of the fake votes
Pence is and always was a coward. He folded like a cheap suit when the LGBT stormtroopers came after him as governor of Indians and now he’s going to this voter fraud president’s inauguration.
Dang it mark your threads vanity or something! Learn the rules too!
He could ask for a delay not change the election result. The state legislators would have time to submit their electors.
I never expected Pence to give the Presidency to Trump but I did expect investigations into criminal, election fraud and court cases and trials. None of this happened, everything was brushed under the rugs and ballots were shredded.
JoMa
So we are to go back to believing Pence is a really nice guy so lets vote for him in 2024? Pence was always going to follow the rules. But he is no MAGA populist politician. He wears his religion on his sleeve like a shield against criticism. You can say I am jaded, which I am, but I do not believe Pence is anything more than a Christian swamp creature. I would not vote for him again.
“it would go before the Supreme Court within 24 hours and overturned”
I had to laugh at this. This supreme court would just stand by and watch. They are too afraid of getting involved in politics.
I don’t see the point of having a certification vote by congress if they are only allowed to vote one way.
Please, he said nothing about it after November 3rd. Pence is done.
Not a Q-tard here. But he didn’t even try. The low life knew there were competing slates of electors. It was his final stab at Trump. He should be ashamed that he helped end the greatest republic the world has ever known.
Did Pence make President Trump aware of his decision before he went to Capitol Hill? If he didn’t, then he’s a definite scumbag.
Sigh!! The title totally misunderstands what voters wanted Pence to do.
They are NOT asking Pence to declare anyone the winner, he does not have the power to do that and even Trump acknowledges that.
They are asking Pence to SERIOUSLY CONSIDER the petition of the state legislatures who wrote to him to express their doubts about the accuracy of their results and the legality of choosing their electors.
wth. what is this utter nonsense vanity doing in breaking news?
On the other hand to certify Electors that were questionable is not faithfully following the Constitution affirmed by OATH whereas:
Reason?
Thanks for bringing SENSE to the site.
No one was asking Pence to reverse anything. All that was being asked of Pence was to delay counting the votes due to the fact that State Legislatures from PA and AZ were asking for time to review what happened in their states, and reportedly GA and WI legislatures wanted the same. The Governors of those states were refusing to let the State Legislatures call a special session so they had to wait until regular session.
There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution saying the Electoral Votes must be counted on January 6th.
According to President Trump’s attorney John Eastman, Pence grossly exaggerated and mis-characterized what they were asking him to do.
You are setting up a straw man fallacy.
The request of Pence wasn't for him to "unilaterally ignore the election results".
Four state legislatures sent letters to Pence saying that they were taking back their constitutional right to send the electors.
And they requested five to ten days to investigate and then send the electors.
Pence should have accepted that request. It would have been the correct constitutional thing to do. But Pence didn't do that.
