The Pennsylvania election situation could very easily have been rectified in the state legislature. I would even suggest that the legislature's involvement in this legal challenge that went up to the U.S. Supreme Court was completely disingenuous.
True that Alberta, it was the PA legislature that should have stepped in when the PA Supreme Court made its unconstitutional ruling. They did not. The US S Ct set it up to make the case moot, there is no constitutional remedy now that Buyden is in, and to craft one would bring in additional constitutional questions, great instability in this country and into the world beyond what either of us could imagine.
That said, is any voter in PA entitled to have his sacred right to vote protected when his own givernment acts in an unconstitutional manner, when there is a federal interest at stake? Tell me where a PA voter, or a candidate for federal office is to go when their constitutional rights are trampled by its state government?
That left Congress in certifying the election, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Had the tables been turned with these exact facts, you can bet (1) a demonkkkrap PA legislature would have fixed it, or if it did not (2) the demonkkkraps in Congress would have fixed it with Mitt’s, Collins’ and a few other GOP helpers. And don’t fool yourself, the Supreme Court would have stepped in too, in November, and not wait until February after Trump was sworn in again. All the leftists on the court would have joined up with Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch to make sure of that. A reading of Machiavelli explains why the institutions did not take action (like they were going to risk having another 4 years of Trump).
A fake fortune teller could have predicted this outcome looking into a black Brunswick bowling ball. The Supreme Court purposely avoided the issue and then ran out the clock. Alito wrote an opinion on October 28th (PA Republicans v Bockvar) “It would be highly desirable to issue a ruling on the constitutionality of the [PA Court’s] decision before the election. That question has national importance, and there is a strong liklihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution.”
The Supreme Court, a political body, has a long history of bad decisions that have actually cost people their lives and freedoms. Add this one to the list.
The legislature provided their own slate of electors (that Pence ignored).
The Secretary of State of PA (since resigned) changed the rules, the state Attorney General (Josh Shapiro) took it to the PA Supreme Court (5 D's, 2 R's, who, of course, ruled 5-2) that the "law" was fine. That is how the "law" was changed.
Now, how could it have easily been rectified by the state legislature?
