from a Democratic perspective, why not try it, it would temporarily delay the issue until the Supreme Court made a ruling

Going back to Jan 6 -- the whole thing pivoted on wording in the Constitution that was interpreted in different ways. Many said that VP Pence had a mere ceremonial role and just opened envelopes. Others thought that the VP could potentially raise an issue if the nature of the election was at all questionable. That interpretation was seen as a chance to ask the States to count again, more carefully, to exclude the chance of fraud. That interpretation was seen as a sort of "why not try it, it would temporarily delay the issue until the Supreme Court made a ruling". No one had tried it before, and so a definitive judgment that "the VP has no such power" was impossible until the Supreme Court said so. They interpret Constitutional wording, and we had wording that could possibly be interpreted in a favorable way.

But Pence refused to try.

The Democrats have a history of “trying” things to see what sticks and what doesn’t and it coming around to bite them in the ass, who can forget Harry Reid changing the 60-vote rule for Federal Judges except the Supreme Court, which then opened it up for McConnell to change the rule for the Supreme Court, allowing Trump to get 3 picks which ultimately led to Roe v. Wade getting overturned.

Pence might be lying low, waiting for Biden to get tossed and then becoming President because Commie-LA is not an natural born citizen. Commie-LA was born a US citizen.

Natural born was defined by a 1730 British law still in full effect throughout the 13 colonies on July 3, 1776. That law required the father of the child to be natural born. Such as requirement probably has to be limited to a few (two?) generations in a nation based on immigration because the US doesn’t date back to before Caesar.

By constitutional intent to secure inherent loyalty, it might mean that Kamala had to be born with only US citizenship.

The Supreme Court will probably someday be the decider.
