Yes. Wrong.
Lots to quibble about in many aspects... but not a lot of profit in doing so in detail, so high points only in a couple of things.
First, in cans having been kicked down the road, a bit, already ? Not clear, now, what SCOTUS will say or how what they say (or, NOTE, how other events unfolding concurrently) will alter the PA legislators opinions, or willingness to express them. Include in that... it being a proper result in the legislators motivated by fear of constituents... more as expecting little seen thus far will quell the rising tide of anger ? As fraud is proven, more over time... do you expect them to come out in support of it... even if they knowingly enabled it, and really do prefer it ? Cowards are predictable, at least.
Mine isn’t an assertion of heroism in the PA legislature ? It may only be minimalism tied to a craven survival instinct... with the cowards avoiding taking a stand on doing the right thing as much as possible ? But, if that is it... its still all and only good for us... even if they got to the most right result for the wrong reasons.
Otherwise, however, re: “If at least one US Senator from PA and one Rep from PA object to the Electors, Congress must go into a two hour deliberation and then come back for a full vote. With Pelosi still controlling the Democrat majority, it’s unlike this avenue for changing Electors will have any success.”
I’ll wait to see how many do object... which won’t occur today... and see how that might influence events, then.
Then, Pelosi may or may not not control the Democratic majority in the House... although she may exercise some degree of control over the House of Representatives as Speaker... the process that is followed is still not one that is under her control ?
The House is half of it... the Senate is the other half... and Mike Pence is the tie breaker ? Over-simplifed... so... when electors are presented as “certified” ?
“Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received. When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw, and such objections shall be submitted to the Senate for its decision;”...
And, then, keep reading...

I already posted a thread couple weeks back about the Jan 6 Joint Session but my source was direct from the Congressional Research Service of Congress.
My point was this objections letter of 65-75 PA legislators may have had nothing to do with Justice Alito’s moving up the date/
Because the objections letter I read was direct to the PA delegation in Congress and not to the Supreme Court.
Was there another objections letter to SCOTUS? Was SCOTUS cc’d on the objections letter to the PA delegation in Congress as amicus? How many such letters are there?
Legislatures don’t send letters to the Supreme Court in my experience. They file writs or amicus briefs. And for such filings to be recognized as a state legislature action, I believe it would be need to be backed by a full vote of the legislature and certified by the legislative Speaker.
I just don’t see the connection of a letter from a group of PA legislators and Justice Alito.
I do see the Kelly lawsuit appeal to SCOTUS and that would be the vehicle on which Justice Alito would act.
Don’t think here’s a PA legislature letter to Alito, don’t see it, can’t find it, not even an amicus.
