Yeah, all the folks who said Lin Wood and Sidney Powell are crazy are surely re-thinking that position.

Pence is thinking about the 7-figure lobbyist job his buddy Paul Ryan has lined up for him.

You put it very well.

I HATE what may be coming or started already.

But come on man we can’t let them get away with an election coup.

We will see what happens and I’ll see what Trump has to say.

And if he says it’s time to dance, then I’ll join the dance.

That sounds like a fair way to get around this restriction.

Damned coward. Showed his true colors. He was behind the firing of Flynn. He was silent during the fake Russia Mueller investigation. He sat silent during the impeachment, unless you count his staff members that testified against Trump. He let falchi run wild as the Cove a good man. He was silent during the riots. He allowed the Senate to never go into recess for four years to prevent recess appointments. Pence is a coward and a traitor.

What about the US CODE that refers to lawful votes? Guess he never read that.

The constitution also requires states to follow their legislative laws for Presidential elections, but Dems don’t care about that so why should you care so much about the tight rope you think you are adhering to the letter of the law Pence. Get some balls and fight, fight like a Democrat or our republic is gone. Get these effers out of the GOP. They are weak pieces of crap goo for nothing’s.

He apparently stopped following Trump on Twitter, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that was in the works.

In 2016 the Dems didn’t follow the rules that REQUIRED the objection to be submitted in WRITING.

Therefor Biden was REQUIRED to reject the challenges.

"So Pence thinks the role to count the votes is purely ceremonial."

No. He's saying the Vice President does not have the authority to reject votes. He is correct.

Ah, nope. An firing squad for following the constitution?

Pence: Constitution and Lack of a Backbone or Gonads ‘Constrains Me’ From Rejecting Electoral Votes

I would say that Pence had best retire and write his memoirs, because I doubt he could be elected dogcatcher.

then why does the constitution allow objections to those votes?
wtf is the point then if debate and objections are allowed?

I'm wondering that myself.

Look, if there is a genuine legal justification, through precedent or because I somehow misread Article II and Amendment XII, I’ll gladly read it. I just don’t see it.

And don’t think I like this. I’m already planning to skedaddle from Maryland (ugh) to Florida, and also already planning to ignore every command coming from the half-wit and his commie veep.

Massive civil disobedience, baby (for those of us not proficient in arms)!

“Just as it constrained biden from rejecting Trump votes in 2016 and installing hillary.”"

Look moron, Congress votes, the VP does not install.

You can’t even get the basics right in your troll.

=============================================

Look, you ignoramus. If Pence could "reject" (or any other adjective you might want to use along those lines) votes, then biden would have done it. Then algore would have done it in 2000 against electors that went against himself.

If a VP could unilaterally reject elector votes, they could effectively "install" a president because they could OVERRIDE any congressional vote. You moron you.
