One GOP lawmaker said it’s not yet clear whether House representatives will be allowed to hold a debate or vote on lawmakers’ objections to the 2020 presidential election results in some states.
“We have the support of members of the United States Senate,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said in an interview with Fox News. “See, in 2000, every single member of the Congressional Black Caucus objected to the electors of the state of Florida when George Bush beat Al Gore. There, the objections were offered. They were not accepted by Al Gore” before moving on. Gaetz said the Republicans’ objection is valid under the Constitution.
But Gaetz said there is “one question remaining” about “whether or not [Speaker] Nancy Pelosi will allow the two hours of constitutionally authorized debate on these questions.”
“When you got tens of thousands of people potentially marching in the streets in Washington, D.C. tomorrow, I think it will be a very bad look for the people’s House not to entertain debate if we have a constitutionally acceptable objection signed by a House member and a Senator and we will clear that hurdle,” the GOP lawmaker said.
Pelosi’s office has not yet returned a request for comment.
At least a dozen senators pledged to object to at least one state’s electoral votes. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) last week became the first senator to announce he would object, joining a coalition of more than 50 House representatives led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.). Brooks on Monday announced he signed a written objection of six key states.
On Jan. 3, Pelosi (D-Calif.) laid out a strategy for Democrats during the joint session. In a statement, Pelosi noted that Vice President Mike Pence—who is the president of the Senate—”presides over a Joint Session and calls the roll of states.”

Haha. Are you kidding me? She will allow no such thing.
This is the wench who just banned House members from meming.
If she does not allow it, all hell is going to break loose.
Hopefully that bitch has a brain aneurysm live on the house floor tomorrow.
well, what are they going to do? bring it up with the scotus? and we know what happened there.
Doesn’t matter what she wants...it’s what the Constitution says that matters.
How ‘bout we just walk her up on a gallows?
Honestly, I have no idea what they will do. Going to be an interesting day.
Why wouldn’t she?
She has the votes.
Doesn’t she?
I cant keep up. I thought she had to if there was one Senator and one House Member
If she does not allow it, all hell is going to break loose.
I hope it does. I’m sick and tired of our side being so damn passive.
...”allow”...? Those MEN better get on their feet!
The LAST thing Nanzi wants is that!
I hope so, too.
Looking forward to it.
If she does not allow it, all hell is going to break loose.
*************
This would be the political equivalent of military aggression by the Democrats.
Pelosi refuses, Republicans take it to the Supreme Court, Roberts says no standing. Such a scenario would not surprise me.
so uh.....are they going to try to kill Pence tomorrow so L Lin Wood doesn’t have to put him in front of a firing squad at dawn???

BREAKING: The FBI and FAA are looking into a breach of air traffic control frequencies after a threat was made about flying a plane into the Capitol tomorrow.
The threat is not considered credible, but the breach of aviation communications is alarming.

The Constitution is the LEAST of what concerns Pelosi or any other Democrat.
