GOOD LORD! I think my head's gonna blow up! Dear God, PLEASE let President Trump have 4 more years in the White House! The fraud and corruption, surrounding the 2020 Presidential election, needs to be exposed once and for all! Drain the swamp! #thetruthwillsetusfree #fightforfreedom #GodBlessAmerica

This is the best rundown of the current chaos I've yet seen. No wonder V. Day recommended it. To add a more chaotic element, following the Constitution, and "unconstitutional" are things that, at this stage, used to further ones ends only, and not principle. It's the foundation of sand we're on now in these disruptive times.

Suppose Pence comes to Arizona, sees two envelopes and after hearing objections from Goehmert and Hawley, says, "nope, I'm not opening either one"? And when he comes to Georgia, well, same thing, into the circular file. Somewhere in the "Ns" it's clear neither candidate is going to get 270. Methinks it's 1876 all over again.

BTW, there are several election cases properly filed before SCOTUS whose cert petitions have not been acted upon. I wouldn't put it past CJ Roberts to step in if his view of proceedings on 6 Jan or afterwards isn't going the way he wants....

It was a funny commentary. I laughed during much of it. But it illustrates just how confusing and sometimes laughable many of our government's Acts are.

Mr. Macris, I have an idea that could evolve into a vulture to roost on your "Tree of Woe." I would prefer to share it privately, so you can give it your special treatment. Contact me via my registration email if you are interested. Cheers!

Clearly, based on the latest decrypt, Intermediate Mandarin, at minimum, is required to understand the latest election.

I suspect we might get better instructions on how to work through this banana republic size mess if we were to poll the local insane asylum. Any asylum will do just fine. After all, while we are all equal, some of us (the insane) are most certainly more equal than others. All we need do is watch Wall Street if we require confirmation.

To state the obvious, SCOTUS can declare all or any part of 3 U.S.C. unconstitutional. My thought is that all the specific dates in the act are unconstitutional, in this particular election, because the level of fraud does not give the parties time to investigate fully.. especially with obstruction by local and state officials.....The electors could vote and governors certify on January 18, and the results forwarded to the Vice President, et al. on Jan 19.

"The level of fraud..."

Interesting. For all the talk of 'fraud' by Trump and his acolytes, in 50 legal actions they have not once even brought the accusation of fraud, let alone any evidence for it. Sure, they have talked about 'fraud' in social media and in court they have highlighted improprieties and points of interest, but they have never in a legal court even made the accusation of 'fraud'. Why is that?

Could it be that because if they do so their lawyers could open themselves up to federal prosecution for 'bad faith' accusations?

If they really, really believe there was fraud, then put up or shut up. Make a clear and unequivocal accusation in court and present the evidence.

SCOTUS and all of the rest of our political leaders are simply afraid to do what is right because they don’t want to be held responsible for the burning of all the democratically run cities if the right the wrongs. It’s no more complicated than that.

A cowardly desire to avoid responsibility explains a lot, for sure.

The "Trump card has yet to fall" so we are standing bye and HOLDING THE LINE! Until such time as the President shall call upon us according to the Insurrection Act. At such time we shall put down the rebellion and execute the Laws of the Union under his direction. I shall uphold my oath upon my sacred honor. God save us all.

This, of course, assumes that Trump does not use the insurrection act or the foreign interference act he passed in 2018.

This is actually what I would think should happen, but it's still 2020 and that means logic and proportion have fallen softly dead.

If I understand the Insurrection Act correctly, then I think it makes perfect sense to have the military go in to these 5-6 questionable states and have everyone vote again. Of course the voting would be monitored by the military this time and hopefully it is managed correctly. This would put the political responsibility on the person who is challenging the fraud, Trump. Everyone else can stand aside and wash their hands of it all like Mitch and Pence.

I believe Michael Flynn suggested that to the President.

Does anyone honestly believe McConnel will stand up and defend the president?

I do not, but the turtle joke was too good to pass up.

Don’t forget about : the "sovereign citizens of the Great State of Arizona" submitted signed papers casting votes for what they want: a second term for Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Mesa resident Lori Osiecki, 62, helped created a facsimile of the "certificate of ascertainment" that is submitted to formally cast each state's electoral votes as part of an effort to prevent what she views as the fraudulent theft of the election.

Indeed. I believe we ended up with seven disputed states, didn't we? AZ, NV, PA, MI, NM, GA, WI. That's historic, literally - we only had three disputed states in 1876.

Yes, New Mexico jumped in as well. The article above refers to just a normal citizen sending in ballots that look official. Clearly the proper response to massive fraud is to print and hand-sign “144k to 288k” ballots and deliver them to a Bethpage NY, to be taken to Harrisburg PA, then Lancaster, then instructed to park trailer in odd location, then trailer stolen, then deliver them to Mike Pence to include with all the other Electoral Ballots. Talk about a landslide!! Biden with 300 or so, Trump with 144,300ish Electoral votes!

For demo-rats the rules mean nothing . Violence and intimidation are the rule of the day. It's like Republicans are Boy Scouts trying to do battle with a depraved street junkie.

Sorry, but the left has turned into malicious scum. Until they're dealt with as such don't see much improvement going forward.

All are aware that the United States Code and Code of Federal Regulation are merely codes and not The Law, correct?

These are corporate codes for the corporation or, for 'within the district'....

The District of Columbia Municipal Corporation.... which encompass all 'the districts (93) of the District of Columbia, no? 😱

The SCROTUS just slammed the door on The Article I 'the State of Texas' for attempting to access The supreme Court of the United States' original Article III jurisdiction? A franchise State of state cannot access the original Article III jurisdiction of The supreme Court. But, The Texas state can as well as all other states can.

'the State of Texas' is a incorporated franchise of The Texas state. Just as 'the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is a franchise of The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania state. 😉
