Love the way these **holes framed it: “Johnson is more dangerous because he wrapped up his attempt to subvert the election outcomes in lawyerly and technical language,” Hasen said. In other words, he dared to try to use the Constitution as written.

To: silent majority rising
What’s ironic is that a competent constitutional lawyer would have known that many of the measures taken to challenge the results of the 2020 election were futile at best and (in many cases) lacked any constitutional basis.

In a hypothetical question example that played out multiple times in 2020, State X has no legal standing to use the Federal courts to compel State Y to enforce its own election laws. This is where the infamous Texas lawsuit was destined to fall flat on its face regardless of the actual facts of the case.
