Constitution doesn’t become null and void because of a virus. There’s no asterisk at the end of the Constitution saying “none of this shit matter if there’s a virus outbreak”.

I thought Fau Xi said voting in person was perfectly safe as well. There was NO need for mass mail-in ballots except to cheat.

I for one approve of responses that are in the form "yes, we admit it was unconstitutional, but, but--"

I hope they use COVID as an excuse. Because it's their only excuse. Perhaps I'm wrong, and maybe someone can point it out to me, but I forget the part in The Constitution, where the founder stated:

"And if there comes a time, where The Republic is put under great stress and fracture, whether it be war, or famine or illness, we need not give two fucks about rules or the rule of law. We shall throw thine rules out the fucking window."

I'm sorry, could someone show me where it says that?

I think that sounds like something Madison wrote in the Federalist Papers. I recognize the "thine rules out the fucking window" part.

Founding fathers didn't give a fuck about Small pox break out re: the Constitution.

COVID is nothing compared to it

That's putting it mildly. They fought a war in the midst of a terrible epidemic. Because it was worth it to secure our freedom.

That's what I'm talking about! SO many medial professionals are coming out against this lunacy, and their voices are being silenced.

I think the defendant states will argue that the plantiff states didn't suffer damages. If the defendant states didn't follow the constitution then the damages wereally suffered by the people of those states and the case belongs at the state level.

That would not be a winning argument, IMHO.

As cosigners to the Constitution, those four states are fiduciaries to all its wherases and clauses. Each state sets the rules on the "time and manner" in which it carries out elections, but it then must abide by those rules. That is the nature of a contract. Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin used extra-constitutional measures on the fly to extend the "time and manner," with no effort to seek a legislative remedy.

SCOTUS could remand the results back to the states for an audit or some other remediation, as opposed to wiping out the electoral votes - which is the best case scenario. But who knows? We've never been in this spot before, so we are witnessing precedent.
