No he didn't. He said he would follow the Constitution as-written. That means that, as the Vice President, he does not have authority to dismiss or otherwide declare already-certified votes invalid. Problems at the state level are (i.e. certifying electors based on fraudulent results) do not fall to the Vice President to solve.
If the Vice President had authority to dimiss votes, why didn't Biden do so in 2017, or Gore in 2001?
Except he can't since that isn't within the powers of the Vice President to do.
It wasn't the "easy way out", it was the only way out. You don't get to complain about election laws being broken and then proceed to break election laws, or are you another smooth brain like one of the other respndents here who think that the Constitution is just "dead ink on paper"?
Where's the outrage over Trump not invoking the Insurrection Act?
That isn't the problem at all. If you think it's "Constitution or nation", you're the problem.
So I guess gun confiscation is alright because of some "dead ink on paper"? Fantastic logic there fucko.
If that's how you want to play it, are you mad at Trump for not invoking the Insurrection Act?
Have you? He expressed quite plainly that he felt that he did not have unilateral authority to invalidate votes. According to the powers granted to the office of the Vice President by the Twelfth Amendment, that is, in fact, true.
You're an idiot. The point is that "dead ink on paper" is not a valid argument. You can't complain about the law being broken and then turn around and suggest breaking the law. It wouldn't have solved our problem at all. Pence invalidating votes would've been ruled against as having "no standing" (and this time SCOTUS would've been correct) and we'd be right where we are now.
