[princess leah]

Better be praying ALL out for God’s servant, VP Michael Pence.....

[Mr. Jeeves]

The only entity with plenary power in this whole affair seems to be the media. They have picked their President - and the GOP dares not object.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Kinda like chess pieces. The Queen having more abilities.

[DesertRhino]

Pence will either be one of the great American heroes of all time, or a spineless coward that serves the deep state.

We’ll all know in two days.

[tarpit]

Could it be overruled by Dems + 2 RINOs ?

[Pikachu_Dad]

Stuff and nonsense !

The man is just VP, not dictator.

[jimfree]

I don’t believe that the presiding officer of the Senate has the super powers claimed by many. I will listen though as this chugs along.

[BigEdLB]

I posted the case of 1872 regarding Arkansas and Louisiana yesterday

[Leaning Right]

> Nixon opted to use his plenary power in the Senate to reject the Republican election certificate and accept the Democrat certificate <

The author makes it sound like Nixon had the power to accept or reject election certificates. Nixon only accepted the Democrat certificate because there were NO OBJECTIONS to that move.

Funny how the author omitted that key fact.

[mquinn]

No, he doesn’t.

Congress does.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Camela Harris doesn’t have this power, nor does Mike Pence.

Nixon merely corrected things based on a normal recount.

[cherry]

Georgia in particular has been egregious and must decertify immediately...

[Pikachu_Dad]

And there are NO certified alternate slated.

So it will be over quick.

[Pikachu_Dad]

And there are NO certified alternate slated.

So it will be over quick.

[mabarker1]

What time does THIS part of the Rodeo begin ? Anybody ?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Mike Pence has never colored outside the establishment lines in his life.

[Jim Noble]

Could it be overruled by Dems + 2 RINOs ?

There are more than 100 GOP "no" votes in the House and at least 30 GOP "noes" in the Senate.

"2 RINOs" could defeat this, yes, but getting rid of Trump is a mainstream GOP objective.

[Jim Noble]

Georgia ... must decertify immediately..

There is zero chance of that happening.

[1Old Pro]

Other than Trump, I look at elected officials as actors, bad actors in a Kabuki theater or a bad comedy or a tragic adventure movie.

They aren't that bright, they really don't work for the voters, and they are drunk on power and attention.

Once in a great while a true statesman comes along and changes history, like Trump. But most don't have the courage to do the right thing and change history for the better.
