The new leader of one of the chambers of Congress that will certify the winner of next year’s presidential election helped spearhead the attempt to overturn the last one, raising alarms that Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power despite safeguards enacted after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power.

But the media has no problem when the democrats do just trying to cover their ass for their cover up operation of the rigged election.
By the democrats actions for the last 3 years no rigging will be needed everyone is hard pressed and 2 wars and maybe a WWIII chaos running wild.

That being the case, why is it that the state’s executive branch certifies whether the electors were chosen legally?

In my particular state, the legislature gave the executive branch a wide range of oversight authority and powers to do exactly that.

That’s why I said from the start (September-November 2020) that the legislatures in all the contested states should have convened and set their own clear ground rules to deal with the overreach (as I saw it) of their executive branch officials.

He also tried to respect the will of the voters. That’s the part they don’t like albeit tacitly.

I agree, the state legislatures in the fraud states are the ones who dropped the ball.

But I think the SC was wrong to toss out the Texas lawsuit on lack of standing. Since they declined to hear the case, there is no formal ruling or dissenting opinion, but it is noteworthy that Justices Thomas and Alito both said they wanted to hear the case.

In my opinion, those two Justices have by far the deepest and strictest understanding of the Constitution, which tells me there were solid Constitutional arguments in Paxton’s favor. I would have liked to hear them.

Unfortunately, they were overruled.

He, like Trump and many others, tried to correct a fraudulent result.

As long as they keep framing it as “protecting our democracy”-aka fake nationalism-

this is textbook fascism.

He voted to certify the loser Pedophile ? Because that’s the only “overturning” that was done on 1/6/21, and every person that did needs to face charges of high treason.
