There is nothing in that constitutional passage that supports the right of Congress to overturn a State's certified electors., to overturn the verdict of the people according to that State's law.
Move goal posts much? (That was rhetorical. Of course you do.) Sure, there is nothing in that passage that supports what you say because that is not what that passage addressed. (See: Logical Fallacies - Red Herring)
My point was that both the Constitution and the US Code are being violated. And it is more than obvious that you are perfectly OK with both.
There is a principle at stake here, sir, one you ought to find important if you profess to being a conservative.
You're damn right there a principle at stake here. The right of the people to select their leaders and choose their government. That right is being usurped on a grand scale.
We are a union of sovereign states. and one of the key components of that sovereignty, as acknowledged by the passage you cite, is that each state chooses its own electors. In accordance with that state's rules, including court challenges as resolved by its own courts.
Considering that not a single case was given the light of day in any court before a jury of our peers, it is blatantly false to say anything has been resolved by any State court. It is also highly hypocritical of you to offer "In accordance with that State's rules" when the entire point is that State rules were not followed. As an example in your own Commonwealth, GOP were denied access to polling locations which is a violation of Commonwealth Law. Yet you haven't uttered a single objection to that. Because you know deep down that if Commonwealth law had been followed, Pennsylvania would have re-elected Trump.
All that happened in Georgia and Pennsylvania, and each state certified its result. It must constitutionally be respected.
I have shown you repeatedly where the Constitution was violated, and not a single acknowledgement from you. Yet you now demand that something be constitutionally respected? Talk about double-standards.
The consequences of not doing so are dire. Besides the obvious violence rendered on the rights of millions of voters, think of what the Dems will do with such a precedent as Trump's toadies appear willing to set.
But that's just it. My voting right has been denied me. My vote has effectively been cancelled by an illegal vote. And at least 100,000 Georgia voters have suffered the same consequence. Why aren't you concerned with that? Your concern for the rights of voters is pure BS.
Look for Pelosi to take advantage to ignore state law by overturning the provisional seating of Republican Rep Marionette Miller Marks of Iowa, one of our key pick-ups.
It was the best showing for a Republican in that district in 16 years. Who else was on that ballot that would have drawn a 50% increase in Republican votes to that district from two years ago?
And it won't be the first time Democrats have done this either. As for Pelosi, following any law is simply not on her radar. With her, the ends always justify the means - a philosophy which you are intimately familiar with.
Trump is committing scorched earth warfare on core Constitutional principles and the sacred trust of comity and shared faith among the American people.
Speaking of the Constitution:
US CONSTITUTION
Article II, Sec 1
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors
This didn't happen in Georgia. It didn't happen in Pennsylvania either. Nor in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada. But then you knew that already.
