Not saying it's true, but is it possible Pence would have the suit thrown out because if a judge struck it down it would make it seem like pence would lack the authority

Pence already HAS established authority and precedents. There is no need to open this 'can of worms' to put doubt in anyone's mind.

Pence is making the correct call. Keep the courts hand out of the powers of the other branches. We don't need to give them a chance to put a ruling that could risk his abilities.

As we have seen, the courts are more than fine with letting people do things then refusing to hear a case. So in theory Pence could just ignore contested states and the courts would be inclined to just watch or have to stretch out a hearing which wouldn't finish before Trump would win.

Remember Pence's response to Paul Ryan releasing the "gram em by the pussy" tape?

He immediately denounced Trump, met with Ryan, and they set up the RyanPence2020.com website together.

It took a few days for Pence to realize that the public didn't give a shit. Then he backpeddled right back to Trump.

Me either. I hate to be one of these jackasses that just reply with “proof?” But I’ve been here and on the other site since Ted lost. I haven’t seen that.

You do know that entire thing is a LARP, right?

What Pence did in the 2016 run was no larp.

Weasel Ryan thought he was going to crush Trump in the press...force him to step out of the race. Pence trotted right behind Ryan.

It's a LARP. Pence did nothing. There was no plan, just a LARP on the internet.

I hope that's why Pence would do this, anyway.

Read the follow ups it wasn’t Pence’s personal lawyers but the DOJ that did this.

Hey, quit the headline that makes Pence look bad. Your own excerpt says all he is saying is you are suing the wrong person, not that he doesn’t have the powers.

You're trying to change the rules at the last minute not Pence.

Trust the Constitution

yeah...it's not pence's call. it is the HOUSE and SENATE and the GOP MAJORITY LEGISLATURES' call.

The only powers the House and Senate are granted is the ability to challenge a slate of electors put forward by Pence.
