If it happens it has to have a big buildup. this is water torture.
Too many chickens roosting in the state legislatures.
Praying that the cowardly Republicans can come through for us
I firmly believe that every judge,every elected official and every civil service employee in the country has those riots in the *front* of their minds...not the back. That would mean that everybody was called upon to address the Rat Party fraud would say to him/herself "if I do the right thing here there will be thugs following my family and thugs throwing firebombs at my house".
Other than the President himself I don't think there's a single person in this country who's prepared to pay that price to do what's right.
I Agree, and have said since the beginning of this nightmare that the individual Legislatures can DECLARE the Certified Electors VOID and send New ones or tell Congress the State is in a deadlocked dispute and NO Electors will be Appointed.
They don't want Trump back. They are happier than anyone at the outcome of the election.
And they CERTAINLY won't be doing anything along the lines suggested in this piece.
Most of the state legislators are as afraid to defend their Republic as many former American “men” remain frightened senseless of the “scary virus”.
That includes conservatives, politicians or not.
“ While Republicans hold the majority in both houses, guaranteeing a Trump decision in each case is foolhardy. ”

Wait...what????
Article was good until that point.
State legislatures will do NOTHING - they have no guts and/or are compromised. Next question: does Mike Pence have the guts to toss the votes of those 6 states, or just count the Trump slates; I think not.
This must be understood. With strong Republican support, Trump would never have found himself in this position. If he is not the man sworn in on January 20th, the Republican Party is to blame.
Pence will follow the Constitution. The slate of electors by the GOP-led majority will be the only ones counted. The House will vote and Trump is your next president.
It isn’t that hard. Riots? We already have them. Then the Insurrection Act comes into play and the grass gets mowed.
“Other than the President himself I don’t think there’s a single person in this country who’s prepared to pay that price to do what’s right.”
Very true! BUT, he has the power to do something about it (send in the troops).
Too many problems contained within the article.
First, the Constitution is clear that Congress alone has the authority to set the date the Electors meet and vote. That date has passed. 2nd issue is that the author gives Pence, as president of the Senate, far more powers in this matter then he actually has and the fact that only the votes from the electors certified by the states will be opened and counted. Each state has laws in place that spell ut how, where and when their Electors meet on the day appointed by Congress. No votes from slates of “electors” that fail to met state law will be counted. Furthermore, it is the House and Senate, not VP Pence, that settles all disputes.
It is rather disconcerting that people here who are supposedly in favor of limited government would like to invent in a state legislature the power to override a concuded vote.
If he is not the man sworn in on January 20th, the Republican Party is to blame.

True.
Invest*
The gutless Repukes aren’t going to lift a finger to save the Republic... they want it destroyed just the same as the Demonic Party; sadly they’re too stupid to see that once they go along with the Demonic scum, they’re next.
Why?
It read like horrible fan fiction, the type of gushing fantasy crap that liberals used to write about RBG.
The Supreme Court has denied it took place and we still don't have a name of the anonymous staffer who claims to have heard it. Lin Wood, naturally, claims to possess physical evidence of this conversation but again, unsurprisingly, is not releasing it.
Yes, that’s probably true.
