Georgia governor warns state lawmakers they cannot choose Trump electors
By Zack Budryk - 12/08/20 08:47 AM EST

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Monday warned state lawmakers that they cannot appoint pro-Trump presidential electors.

Kemp said while speaking at the Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators that legislators appointing their own electors was “not an option.”

“You all will be taking an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of our state and now, more than ever, it is important to remember that thousands of brave men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those laws, that constitution and all that they protect,” Kemp said, according to USA Today.


“I’m confident that each of you will live up to the words and greater calling regardless of political consequences. That’s what I’ve been doing,” he added.

Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans, have been singled out for condemnation by the Trump administration over their refusal to overturn the results of the presidential election in the Peach State. The state certified its election results last week following a hand audit and recount of ballots.

Guess he doesn't understand the Constitution...

Kemp SURE does!

I wonder if Kemp's so desperate to hide whatever he's hiding that he doesn't care how stooped he sounds.

Gov. Kemp was cravenly accused by Stacey Abrams of stealing an election for the Republicans.   And now the Trumpsters are cravenly accusing Gov. Kemp of stealing this election for the Democrats.

You know a man by his enemies.  Kemp's got the "best".   I admire the heck out of Brian Kemp.

Whipsaw hypocrisy;  “You all will be taking an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of our state and now....
Do you believe after allowing illegal voting to occur and legitimizing it, Georgia officials demand strict compliance of the laws and obligations of duty when it comes to supporting the lawlessness of the election ?
    Obviously George Soros p.c.whores.

I'm a little confused,here.

Is he a Governor,or a Dictator?

@Right_in_Virginia

I suspect with many of them they don't really have any choice because they are being blackmailed,and are backed into a corner.

Not that I feel sorry for them. I don't. They are in that position because they "sold" there office for gain or privileges. Bleep them and the donkeys that rode in on them.

Of course you do.  Keep playing your cards "right" and maybe you can be his cellmate.

 Yesterday you wanted me dead,  today you want me in prison.  So which is it, RIV? 

Would you say you're a typical Trumpster in expressing such sentiments? 

[christian]

Are you trying to say Virginia is talking like democrat blm/antifa activist act ?  Are you trying to say you are against blm/antifa?

He has no power to control the state legislators whatsoever other than to call a special session.

And that is one single thing he has chosen to not do.

[christian]

democrats have made it publicly clear, the Constitution isn't good enough for what they have in mind for America.  Dictators is very much what they have in mind, and being owned by Soros goes without saying.  The Bible tells you, the anti-Christ is very impatient.  (In a very big hurry to accomplish humanities demise)  This is the End Times, and slaughter will commence in the near future, global society collapse first.

@christian

And why wouldn't they,when even the authors of the U.S. Constitution admitted it isn't perfect?

After all,the movers and shakers behind globalism don't hesitate to modestly admit that it is the answer to all of humanity's problems,and that they stand ready and able to manage us like the unruly children that we are?

Kemp is following the footsteps of former Governor Eugene Talmadge.  Here's his statue at the Capitol with his hand firmly on the bribes in his pocket.

@Jazzhead

You admire a man who took kickbacks from Dominion, Facebook, allowed his Secretary of State to subvert the law regarding mail-in voting, refused to release video surveillance of mail-in collection points in violation of Georgia law, and still to this day refuses to have Dominion voting machines re-certified after software changes were made in October, also a violation of Georgia law, and who refuses to enforce signature checks for absentee ballots as required by law.

Plus who refuses to call for a special election.

And does anybody believe this quote?

“Nobody’s fought harder for this president than me up to Nov. 3, and no one has supported him as much as I have after the election with the legal rights that he has to contest the election,” Kemp said.

Only thing is...there's a little thing called the Constitution that says he can't tell the lawmakers what to do when it comes to choosing electors.

That's the state congressional body's business...not his.

Sorry to disappoint you.

@Jazzhead's approach to the Constitution is rather like his approach to the buffet at Harrahs.

Kemp has had the knife out for Trump ever sine the President questioned his Senate choice for completing Isakson's term.  Kemp is a petty man.

With the added option of having something else delivered from outside if he doesn't see anything he likes.
