GOPe fix is in. They sabotaged Trump.

Nobody shouldbe surprised at this. They never had his back, they sabotaged him in congress from day one, and they wanted him GONE. Are they upset with the steal? Nope, not one tiny bit.

Are they upset that people are calling them on it and saying don't support their candidates in GA until they do get upset with the steal? Hell yes, apoplectic in fact. All you need to know. They don't really represent us, they just lie about representing us and then go laugh about us with their beloved democrat friends.

legislators appointing their own electors was “not an option.”

Presidential electors are creatures of the state legislatures. Period. The legislatures can designate that power as they see fit. But when that power is abused, it ought to be reigned back in. Doing so now will prevent more abuse and corruption in the future.

”they still have to follow the law they have on the books or pass a new law.”

The legislature does not have the power to pass a law which modifies the U.S. Constitution. They cannot surrender the power they have.

Imagine, for example, that the legislature voted to allow a private organization to pass laws in their state. That would violate their state constitution and any law “passed” by such organization would be without legal effect. Similarly, the legislature cannot give up their power to appoint Electors.

The Constitution gives the Legislature plenary authority in elections.

Which they exercised when they passed a law allowing the voters to select the electors. If they decide after the fact to seat a second, competing set of electors then you can be sure that will wind up before the courts.

I heard a report on Bannon this morning that the cowards in the GA legislature are afraid of Antifa attacking their family. If that is done it has gone to a new level

They have a law

They have to follow the law

Or they have to pass a new one

You can make a con law argument all you want and send it up the chain but the law stands as it is right now.
I didnt go into the weeds of the existing law as it relates to the electors in GA

They have one on the books

Kemp is likely referring to the law on the books passed by the legislators.

Trump has to fire Barr, then the replacement has to file Treason against the members of the state governments executive, legislative, and judicial for collusion with the CCP

I’m sure
@JennaEllisEsq
is aware that the PA response saying the court has never taken this kind of action is FALSE.
@TeamTrump
must be aware that on December 27 1960 A district court judge named Jamieson did EXACTLY that in Hawaii.

Utter bullshit!

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Notice there is no need to ask "Mother May I" from the Governor.
