When, as in PA and GA, the election laws are changed by edict, rather than altered or amended by the Legislature (as called for in the US Constitution), and the rules set forth in their respective State Constitutions are also ignored in order to make those changes to election law, then there is a matter involving upholding the sovereignty of those States, and the respective Legislatures' sole power to alter election law within their respective jurisdictions.

Instead that power was usurped by elected and/or appointed executive branch officials and judges, none of whom are members of the Legislature, and who do not command the necessary votes, nor follow the procedures demanded by the laws of their respective States to change election law. The issues are extant on both the State Level, and the Federal Level: both Constitutions have been violated.

Nonwithstanding that the motive for that violation is apparently egregious and massive vote fraud, The power of those legislatures has been usurped, and that alone is cause to cry "Foul!", regardless of the results of that tabulation of votes.

Amen, Brother!!

It's official: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever other social media platforms are out there are censoring not just Trump but all conservatives. Looks like MeWe and Parler are still somewhat free, though.

When fully grasp the fact that Twitter , Fakebook, and YouTube are political operations first, and businesses second, everything makes sense.

The speech suppression is going to get worse.

@Right_in_Virginia

Not only is Free Speech going to be reduced,most people will never even realize it is gone or why it is gone because most people only pay attention to politics for a couple of months every 4 years.

Even then they aren't paying much attention. If they have always voted Dim,they are going to still vote Dim. If they have always voted alleged Republican,they are still going to vote alleged Republican.

This happens because most are looking to hear from people they agree with.

If the presidential comparisons have started yet, Trump's pre-inauguration period was the best I have ever seen, promoting American jobs, in particular. Biden is using his time to demonize half the country. Score so far: Trump 1, Biden 0

In related news, every politician who did not condemn the Antifa/BLM violence all year, and the Portland riots this week, should resign today too. And Biden should resign too, before he is sworn in, for demonizing half the country.

Also, every member of Congress who is not actively working toward making our election system work next time should resign. Both parties. Every one.

It’s hard to listen to Angry-Scolding Joe dismiss the legitimate interests of 71 million citizens and brand them racists. Good start on all the uniting.

Did Biden encourage violence against Trump supporters yesterday or did his speech just have that "feel" to it? So far, worst president ever, and he hasn't even been sworn in.

From now on, it appears that every legitimate protest will be infiltrated by bad actors perpetrating violence and destruction. That's the beginning of the end of public protest. Free speech is already half gone.

On the national level, that is a VERY true statement!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

@mountaineer

Destroying the Bill of Rights in the goal of every leftist.

Most are too ignorant of history and reality to realize the "bosses" will replace them with a "Bill of Obligations",none of which will apply to the ruling class.

Communism/socialism is nothing less than the return of the Feudal System.

We're old enough - or educated enough - to know what communism is and how well it's worked in the USSR, China, Cuba, et al.

Thanks, government education system, for not teaching children true history and, instead, giving them the impression that socialism is all rainbows and lollipops!

Don't forget the unicorns!

I am also still waiting for some leftist loon to list the free nations that have to put up electric fences with armed guards and attack dogs to keep their citizens from "escaping" and fleeing to some "socialist paradise".

Let me spell this out more simply.

If some states have to comply with the US Constitution, and others do not, THAT IS NOT EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. All States have standing.
Absolutely.

And why some people do not seem to understand that is baffling, unless of course they choose not to, which means by definition they are libs.

Yes, but SCOTUS certainly didn't rule that way; they didn't even hear the case.  So much for more conservatives on the bench ... the court will soon be packed with liberals.
Scotus is not infallible.

Scotus did not follow the Constitution it swore to uphold.
