Can someone tell me what exactly he said that counted him as being “out”. I mean I know of one statement that could be taken in many different contexts that made it look like he didn’t want to make that final decision. But is there anything else really out there that points to him as being a traitor?

That he moved to dismiss the gohmert suit.

What ppl don’t realize is that the basis for his motion to dismiss was, in essence “I had that power already”

This comment thread is incorrect about the gohmert suit and what it meant and pence’s response.

The suit asked for two things - 1) a ruling that the electoral count act of 1887 is unconstitutional attempt to alter the constitutionally established electoral college counting dispute resolution procedures in the 12th amendment.

  1. an injunction ordering pence to follow the 12th amendment procedure vs the electoral count act procedure.

The 12th amendment rules

  1. have no role for the senate (besides pence’s role)

  2. have no objection procedure that requires a house representative and senators to object and then get 2 hours of debate

  3. vest NO authority in the house and senate voting on how to resolve

What law school did you go to? Because I went to one and am published on constitutional law, when I was on the editorial board of my law review
