Can you please site what article in the constitution supports your thesis? The only way they can be removed CONSTITUTIONALLY is impeachment, which, with the current crop of House legislators will not happen. The opportunity for the IA sailed on Jan 6. No doomer shill here, check my posts. But please, provide more information if you have it concerning the removal of Biden/Harris within the parameters of your argument so that we all can base our activities going forward on real actionable facts. Believe me, I wish this was true but it simply isn't according to my reading of the constitution.

Are you suggesting that the only method of overturning an UNCONSTITUTIONAL act is to follow CONSTITUTIONAL procedures? That's some incredibly naive reasoning. With logic like that opposing them, it's no wonder they were able to cheat their way in.

What about what happened violated the US Constitution? The states violated their own Constitutions. You can make the argument that SCOTUS didn't fulfill their oath by not taking up the Texas case which was a constitutional case but SCOTUS does this all they time, especially when it comes to 2nd Amendment cases so we shouldn't be surprised. I think what I'm saying is that the problem is with the STATES, not the Federal government. Remember, anything that can happen Federally can often be undone by another set of leaders, witness the back and forth on Executive orders. I feel you.. I would love this assholes to get the full weight brought down on them but I don't think that is the problem.

Let's do as you suggest, then, and disregard Article 3, Section 2, which mandates that the Supreme Court "shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority... to Controversies between two or more State," and that "those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction," simply because they ignore it all the time.

Beyond that, there is also Article 2, Section 1 which specifies that "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress." This article does not allow for State Governors, Judiciaries, or other appointed officials to make changes to those "Manners," which clearly happened in at least the contested States of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia. Thus, their very election processes violated the Constitution, making them unequivocally unconstitutional. That is, while the states may have violated their own Constitutions, in so doing they also violated the US Constitution.
