Well fuck me silly. I guess it's over now. That was our last non-military option. We can't rely on 51 senators to object. The courts (state and federal) will do nothing.

I was mostly thinking about the state-based lawsuits. But I think this was our last constitutional avenue regarding Jan 6th (i.e. Pence has to reject the false electors because of the litigation against him). Now he has no reason to reject them, because the compelling risk isn't a factor anymore.

You need to read the actual law. He can entertain an objection as long as both a rep and senator object. The houses then vote if both reject it goes to him. The house will not and the Senate will have only one objection, maybe three.

This is a non-issue. Gohmert already said he was changing the suit to sue Congress.

Duh! The President of the Senate power is plenary. The courts have no power over it.

Fake News! He wasn't trying to get the election overturned, he was asking for running on the 12th and 15th amendment.
