GEORGIA GOVERNOR WARNS STATE LAWMAKERS THEY CANNOT CHOOSE TRUMP ELECTORS
The Hill ^

Posted on 12/11/2020 6:54:25 AM PST by DOC44

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Monday warned state lawmakers that they cannot appoint pro-Trump presidential electors.

Kemp said while speaking at the Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators that legislators appointing their own electors was “not an option.”

“You all will be taking an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of our state and now, more than ever, it is important to remember that thousands of brave men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those laws, that constitution and all that they protect,” Kemp said, according to USA Today.

“I’m confident that each of you will live up to the words and greater calling regardless of political consequences. That’s what I’ve been doing,” he added.

This has been an increasing problem IMO, state governors biting off more than they can chew. Whitney, Wolf, Newsom, Northam and many others overstepping their authority and they need to be put in place by the people.

Kemp is likely way more into the fangbang crowd.

He’s put himself in this situation by getting involved in that Chinese mask money laundering fiasco, the Dominion “under-the table” payoff and probably some Soros dollars also tossed in just for good measure.
He’s bought, owned and paid for by the Chinese regime.
IF he was smart, he’d step down today.
He needs to be arrested.

Its always been about an obama 3rd (and possibly 4th) term. One level up is Soros of course. THAT demon may actually BE the antichrist.

Posted this on another thread yesterday:

“So is it so much of a stretch to think that now we know the democrats are in cahoots with the Chinese (and I suspect what we know right now is just the tip of the iceberg) that our country was not only infected with the virus, the democrats knew it was coming and it was done to slow down the US economy, damage the Trump presidency, control people and could also be used as an excuse to use mail in voting for the purpose of stealing the election. Win win for the chinese and democrats, all bad for the POTUS........or am I just paranoid as heck?”

The Georgia Governor is a likely future litigant for early parole.

Th legislators would be acting under a federal mandate that overcomes any state laws or constitution. This is a US Constitution authority for only the legislature. Kemp is bloviating and BSing.

If GOP leadership want to win Senate Races which they desperately needs, they should find a way to shut this SOB and force them not to interfere. If GOP cannot do that, what power do they have?

All current problem with Georgia voters comes from these two crooks and GOP is apparently powerless to do anything about it.

“Translation: I know you can appoint your own electors, but, but, but you just better not! I mean it!”

Did he stamp his foot really hard so they’d know how forcefully he was making his statement? It only counts if he did that...

Good choice.
