Pence had all he needed from the Constitution and state legislators to welcome the opportunity to return the certifications to the states. He chose not to.

Prior to this Ted Cruz proposed a 10 day review period for the states in question. Where was Pence then?

I watched live when Congress returned on the 6th. I watched the incredulous looks on republican senators waiting to object being gaveled into silence and taking their seats. This was the first punishment metted out to the "insurrectionists".

I don't know why Pence turned his back on the Constitution, the law and 75 million of his voters; but he did.

I don't know why Pence thought he would benefit from leaving this open wound to fester; but he did.

History will show how poorly he chose.

And that's why we're having these tiresome discussions because most people agree that Pence did not have the power to delay the count or reject the ballots.

What happened to Cruze's proposal? Didn't get anywhere I believe.

Others believe Pence exercised all the powers available to him under the Constitution.

I suppose we'll see.
