Before we get too hasty, remember that 2/3 of the Republicans in the House supported the TX law suit. We have a lot of friends in Congress, even if they're currently outnumbered.

Good point. But the simple Act of them trying to weasel out of it would give businesses ample evidence to be able to open their doors for business.

Agreed. We really need a faster legal effort to get this stuff to SCOTUS so they can declare states are not allowed to violate the essential right to gather peacefully.

but can we trust them Jan 6th? What about the Senators? Will they defy McCuckell and object or are they going to be weaklings and fall in line?

I believe so, but much of that is contingent on what Trump's legal efforts are able to produce in the next couple weeks. My guess is that by the end of this week or early next week we'll see Trump produce fairly conclusive evidence tying China to the DNC and Biden campaign with direct election interference.

If he's able to do that, I don't think the Republican legislation will have any other choice but to support him if they want to keep their jobs. Public support for Trump and recognition of fraud is only increasing, across both parties.

I think Johnson or Hawley may defy McConnell on the 6th. I'm sure Mittens is working all the R Senators over as well, to keep them in line.

I can see Cruz possibly standing up to McConnell as well. It was Texas, after all, who filed the litigation in the SCOTUS.
