Totally disagree here. There is nothing stopping the PA state house (supposedly controlled by Republicans) from passing a resolution appointing their own Trump electors. The constitution clearly spells this out in the electors clause.
Why is this cuck looking for permission to seize his constitutionally mandated powers? State legislatures don’t need to ask to do their jobs. Do it!
Fuck this back stabber and the rest of the traitorous state congressmen in PA.
If Trump loses, they will be a large reason why.
Who made that rule? The constitution says nothing about “the state legislature may declare their own electors... if they get the governor’s consent”. The governor isn’t even mentioned, right?
The US Constitution also says nothing about needing a government agency's permission to have a quiet gun or one that shoots fast... or one with a short barrel but a different shaped stock....... but here we are. Bullshit creeps in over time, and becomes accepted and "legally" enforced.
Note that I'm not sure if that applies here or not, (mainly just bitching about the ATF infringement.)
My reading of the constitution is similar to yours. I think they intended us to buy anything the government can buy. Including tanks, nukes, artillery, anything we’d need to form a militia capable of overthrowing a tyrannical government.
Exactly. The legislators could get on a conference call, write a statement, put each of their names on it, and post it on Twitter saying they vote to send their own Trump electors.
There's usually a way around procedural parliamentary bullshit. For something of this importance, you don't tuck your tail between your legs and say "but, but the meany Governor won't let me exercise my powers!".
This is typical RINO, weak fence sitting bullshit.
Doing this would create a very unusual scenario where on 1/6 VP Pence would have two different envelopes to open from PA. One with the Governor's seal, one without. There is no clear law directing him what to do. He could decide, and Pelosi could in turn call the sargeant at arms to have the Senate removed from House chambers. This would stop the meeting, leaving no candidate declared for inauguration day. This has never happened in US history afaik, and would show that the system is broken. It is. Rubicon Don could legally assume emergency power, indefinitely. As CiC if the military obeyed him, we're good. Millions of us should clog the streets of DC in this case. If he also raises the Insurrection Act, the unorganized militia is automatically activated. Then we are the Kraken! And we outnumber the military some 100:1. But we do need to show up.
I was responding to the comment immediately above. You can also tell by the bars on the left. The fact is we have a legislative branch of government. Executive or judicial don't get to tell the legislative what to do. They can meet if they bloody well please, and they don' need no stinking badges!
US Constitution gives State legislature power to choose State electors. My State (WI) won't do it either. This is because they are spineless. My SCWI also failed me. A seat was stolen in April; USPS. Governor was stolen in 2018.
They're getting awfully close to Crusading distance!

Actually I think without the governor's consent they would have needed a majority they did not have to call a special session

100% agree.

I have 0 respect for this Cutler cuck.
IANAL but that is exactly what I’ve been thinking about these state rep cucks!

Pa gop has majority. It has nothing to do with governers consent. House went out on recess and this fuck failed to call them back.
They should have been sleeping in their offices and working day and night to solve their own problems in the state.
It all goes back to a convenient piece of legislation passed back into 1938 as to why he is wiping his hands of calling them back.
Constitution does not mention governor
This is the bs they tell us. It is 100% FALSE
meaning he did not file with SCOTUS ? i read it..looked legit
