    Amazing that a lawyer would say this...but after all, trump is happy to destroy America's judicial system as well as well as America's election processes in his effort to stay in power. Thanks republicans...

    I would have expected that states have their own laws in place that prohibit the legislators from changing how they select the electors. Is that not the case?

    Isn't there a verse in Revelations about the Beast and hair dye?

    If Trump-backing electors are selected against the will of the people, it would have to be legally challenged. Would be interesting to see how that plays out with the Trump-appointed SC justices.

    https://www.lawfareblog.com/state-legislatures-cant-ignore-popular-vote-appointing-electors


    Thankfully, it appears very unlikely that any legislature will accept Mark Levin’s challenge, and select a slate contrary to the votes of its people. But if any legislature were to take up the call, the Supreme Court would be asked to review that unprecedented act. Its ruling should be clear that this move is illegal. Prominent originalist scholars have noted how far Chiafalo strayed from the framing design. It would be extraordinary now if, in the name of originalism, the justices would sanction an even greater perversion of the original design. The greatest charge against originalism is partisan selectivity. We do not believe that selectivity is inherent to originalism. But few would agree if, after ignoring the Framers in Chiafalo, the Supreme Court invoked the Framers now to defeat a candidate who has won an absolute majority of the public’s vote. Whatever else that result would say, it would certainly not communicate that “[w]e the people rule.”

    At this point, Biden’s DOJ will have to prosecute almost everything associated with this administration.

    Although I would love for this to happen, I really don't think anything is going to stick.

    I think state law enforcement will be more apt to go after him for tax fraud and other crimes that they have been waiting on...

    Just saw that the two Republican canvassers for Wayne County are now saying they rescind their certification and have given signed affidavits claiming they were threatened and coerced to certify. This is after Trump spoke to one of them. It's unclear if their about about face now changes things.
