Attorney and legal scholar John Eastman joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Monday morning.
Steve and John Eastman discussed Arizona Senate President Karen Fann’s OAN interview over the weekend. Fann suggested that the Arizona Senate does not have the authority to replace the electors in the state of Arizona.
Eastmen told Steve Bannon: “We can point to Section 2 of Title 3 of the United States Code that says when a state has had an election and has failed to make a choice on the day that was prescribed by law, meaning the choice that was made, the assumption is it was fraudulently given because of the illegal votes, the electors can be made on a subsequent date in such manner as the legislature in some state may direct.”
But there is a lot of work to be done before this could ever happen.
Bingo.
Best Constitution based argument I’ve seen. Still the chances are slim to nonexistent with this Congress. Maybe better in the next but not by much ! This is why the election integrity issues most be vigorously fought now. You might have a ghost of a chance then but I’m more worried about the future. The more fraud detail and its extent that comes out the more the Biden agenda grinds to a halt. It can be completely checked with a good 2022, this will setup 2024.
Its the fraud! Of course a state can withdraw their electors in the event of proven fraud. If AZ, GA and PA withdraw their electors Biden doesn’t have 270. Then the calls for him to resign and Trump to be reinstated begin. Chances are all of the swing states And some others will do forensic audits. This thing is going to snowball.
People can talk about "declaring" all sorts of things, but unless you get both Congress and the Supreme Court to go along -- which ain't happening -- it's delusional.
“In my mind that’s exactly what the left wants us to do.”
In MY mind, exactly what the left wants us to do is roll over and give up — just like we always do.
probably true they can do want they want. they’ll just have to wait until the next counting of presidential electors by congess in January 2025.
Never said give up!
I said fight battles that make sense !
You misread my post, for 30 years the Uniparty jagoffs have been importing a permanent majority with no obstruction from all but a few Republicans.
Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio KNOW they are voting for a permanent Democrat majority every time they vote for amnesty.
They won’t have that permanent majority until Assistant Democrats give it to them.
The US Constitution is above common law. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land not common law.
I never said that common law superceeds The US Constitution. There is no contradiction with the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't address fraud of any kind.
Probably because common law and the founders knew as a basic common sense principle, that "fraud vitiates everything". Supreme court decisions and all of our laws are based on that basic principle.
Yes, this.
Excellent post !
Watch and learn as the reverse unfolds. A car thief does not get to keep the car. Biden will not get to steal this presidency. You are going to be amazed.
Then we are at the end of the constitution, and off the map.
Or rather, heading to a strong man rule by might, not right.
Maybe we are. Maybe that is the next phase. But I would rather not be the one to end the remains of the Republic
We left the Constitution behind on the day ALL of our elected and appointed swore in the ineligible non-natural born citizen Kenyan from Indonesia.
Fraud vitiates everything.
Please know that the FReeper you are posting to has posted that mass arrests of journalists were taking place, that there are Biden body doubles being used, that military tribunals are taking place in the White House, etc.
Her credibility is somewhat in question on matters of national politics and current events..
Every elected position in the US House, Senate, state governors, state legislatures, and every other elected position, IS NOT LEGITIMATELY OCCUPIED, or at best, is in question due to the massive countrywide fraud.
There was a fairly recent Texas Supreme Court case, Pressley v. Casar, involving a challenge to an Austin city council election. The challenger lost in the trial court and the court of appeals, and appealed to the Texas Supreme Court. But while the case was pending in the Texas Supreme Court, the winner was re-elected and his new term had already begun. The Texas Supreme Court dismissed the case as moot, because a challenge to an official’s election becomes moot when the official’s term expires.
It is hard to see how the exact same principle would not apply to a challenge of the appointment of a presidential elector after he has voted. The only way around it is to ignore, as many do, the distinction between a state’s appointment of electors and the actual presidential election. It is clear that Trump’s own lawyers understood, though, that their challenges would become moot some time between the “safe harbor” date and January 6.
State legislature delegates CAN challenge the joint session vote in congress by petition to amend their delegate votes. It is not cast in stone after the meeting of the delegates on election day in the state capitals.
I agree that a state legislature can amend their delegate votes after the Electoral College has convened. However, this only works if a separate slate of electors has convened on the same day as the Electoral College vote and formally cast their votes for another candidate. This actually happened in most of the contested states, with Trump’s electors convening in the state capitals and casting their votes. But what DIDN’T happen was that the legislatures in those states never took up the issue and followed up by sending the competing slates of electors to Congress for the January 6th session.
Retracting electors in the 2020 election at this point is like reversing an umpire’s bad decision in the 1978 World Series.
