If Pence does this, he will be one of the greats in American history, and I for one will be very proud to be wrong in my estimation of him.
Don’t hear that heralded loud and clear do we.

Pence Asks Judge to Reject Gohmert Lawsuit; House Doesn't Want VP Powers Clarified | Facts Matter
I think the above scenario only works if the state legislatures certify the second slate of electors. So far, it is only talk and no one is walking. It is as if they are doing enough to say they agree there is fraud, but not following through. This is like many votes at the federal level that they make to win reelection, but not really trying to support. Shadows without substance.
Seems to me that Vice President Pence and/or his lawyers should read this legal analysis before he sits down with the electoral ballots on January 6th.
It advises that he would be the one to judge the validity and legality of any competing slate of electors.
Anybody have his official email address?
“I have a duty under the Constitution Article II, Section 1, Clause 3, to count the votes for President and Vice President presented to me by the Electoral College. Under the constitution, my count is final.”
“The elections in the following states: Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin, are, based on evidence presented and noticed in public, hereby declared to be fraudulent.”
“The Senior Senator from Kentucky is out of order and will remain in his seat until I have finished.”
“The Speaker of the House is out of order and will remain in her seat until I have finished.”
“The Electoral College, having failed to vote for a candidate with a majority of 270 votes, is set aside, and the vote now goes to the joined houses of Congress for state caucus voting.”
“My ruling is final. This matter is adjourned, and the combined Houses will now vote.”
(words to preserve western civilization by. one can always hope.)
Now here is an interesting tidbit. The SCOTUS, by refusing to hear any case on the election, particularly the Texas case which was joined by many states, means that the dispute between the states remains decisively in place. And thus there is a controversy in those electors.
At the time it was frustrating when SCOTUS decided to ignore a complaint between states for lack of standing. If the states do not have standing to pursue constitutional disputes between states than what purpose does SCOTUS actually serve? But perhaps by denying a hearing they have inadvertently opened another venue for the case to be heard, on Jan 6 in the Senate when the President of the Senate decides if there is any "controversy or contest" in the electors presented. Hmmmm....
another optimistic thought—
how does one conduct business most efficiently during a rainstorm?
- by staying out of the rain as much as possible.
with republicans, this means waiting until the last moment to announce a decision that could be regarded by the MSM as unfavorable.
we have seen such behavior with republicans most recently in the confirmation of ACB to the USSC.
Give me a break...
Seems most legal analysts on Trumps team were D- in their first year of law school or just political hacks .
These people taking advantage of Trump supporters bless their hearts but don’t give them a penny..
This is two hours PER OBJECTION!

Since COVID is the trigger for extraordinary Election Day, it must also serve as a trigger to delay Inauguration Day. It only makes sense. (Not that leftist thugs and their sheep are interested sense.)
I think that all states’ elections should be challenged. My bro lives in NY. He said that the counting abruptly stopped there at the same time it stopped in the swing states but it hasn’t been mentioned. Many there believe Trump had a chance there, too.
Chief Justice Roberts has said he is motivated only by political violence. He is afraid of riots if he does not align with Antifa.
We cannot show weakness. On January 6, when the votes are counted, it will help to have a show of strength with 100,000s of patriots descending on Washington — possibly occupying the House and Senate office buildings, the Capital and the SCOTUS building.
The politicians must fear the good guys as much as they fear the villains.
Read the Constitution. Pence has no power to decide. In case of dispute, Congress decides, and Trump doesn’t have enough friends there.

Even if true, currently there is only one slate of electors, either selected according to law or selected by the legislature itself, from all the states. So there is only one slate for Pence to choose from.
