I appreciate the passion of those seven, but they were engaged in nothing more than political grandstanding that would ultimately accomplish nothing — and would also set a very dangerous precedent.
Tom Cotton was one of the senators who did NOT object to the certification of the 2020 election in Congress. His public statement in which he explained himself should be required reading for anyone who thinks Congress had any authority to “overturn” the 2020 election.
Basically, Cotton pointed out that Congress was only sent one certified slate of electors from each state. There was no competing slate of electors sent from any state. In the absence of this, any action by Congress to contest electoral votes effectively turns the U.S. into a parliamentary system of government where the President is no longer elected through the Electoral College process but is instead elected by Congress.
Rand Paul made the right decision when he refused to object to the 2020 election certification. The whole idea was ludicrous on its face. How the hell do you justify having a U.S. Senator from Tennessee objecting to the electoral votes from Pennsylvania (for example) when neither Senator from Pennsylvania objects?

The stolen election was merely a chapter in the 5 year long bipartisan coup that stole President Trump’s term in office and disenfranchised us all.
Tom Cotton was a key player from his perch in the highly corrupt Senate intel committee. For FOUR YEARS we never heard a peep from him as President Trump and his supporters were assaulted over and over by their own government. He was never going to upset or delegitimize the Uniparty’s plan to install Brandon at the 11th hour and remove the hated MAGA agenda from the swamp.

Was it unconstitutional?
