Replied to a previous post. This is from gohmert v pence which was dismissed. I am atty but don’t know how this will play out. The constitution 100% gives pence full discretion in counting the votes. I don’t know how he could be forced to use the conflicting provisions of the electoral count act of 1887.
I don’t see a way that the end result is bad for trump if the proceedings are run according to the 12th amendment......i realize people have questions about what pence will do, but if he’s based it would appear the 12th amendment procedure is what we need.
Thoughts?
“There are four key features of this Twelfth Amendment procedure that should be noted when comparing it with the Electoral Count Act’s procedures: (1) the President is to be chosen solely by the House of Representatives, with no role for the Senate; (2) votes are taken by State (with one vote per State), rather than by individual House members; (3) the President is deemed the candidate that receives the majority of States’ votes, rather than a majority of individual House members’ votes; and (4) there are no other restrictions on this majority rule provision; in particular, no “tie breaker” or priority rules based on the manner or State authority that originally appointed the electors on December 14, 2020 as is the case under the Electoral Count Act (which gives priority to electors’ certified by the State’s executive).” ABOVE IS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE 12TH AMENDMENT PROCEDURE BELOW ARE THE CONFLICTING PROVISIONS OF THE ELECTORAL COUNT ACT OF 1887. GOHMERT V PENCE WAS FILED TO ASK THE COURT TO DECLARE ELECTORAL ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ORDER PENCE TO COUNT VOTES ACCORDING TO THE 12th AMENDMENT ONLY. THAT SUIT WAS DISMISSED, SO WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL BE DONE. THE ELECTORAL ACT IS CERTAINLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, BUT WE ARE IN NEW TERRITORY “Section 15 (of the electoral count act of 1887)diverges from the Twelfth Amendment by adopting procedures for the President of the Senate to “call for objections,” and if there are objections made in writing by one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives, then this shall trigger a dispute-resolution procedure found nowhere in the Twelfth Amendment. the Electoral Count Act submits disputes over the “count” of electoral votes to both the House of Representatives and to the Senate. The Twelfth Amendment envisages no such role for both Houses of Congress. The President of the Senate, and the President of the Senate alone, shall “count” the electoral votes. the Electoral Count Act gives both the House of Representatives and the Senate the power to vote, or “decide,” which of two or more competing slates of electors shall be counted, and it requires the concurrence of both to “count” the electoral votes for one of the competing slates of electors. Under the Twelfth Amendment, the President of the Senate has the sole authority to count votes in the first instance, and then the House may do so only in the event that no candidate receives a majority counted by the President of the Senate. There is no role for the Senate to participate in choosing the President. the Electoral Count Act eliminates entirely the unique mechanism by which the House of Representatives under the Twelve Amendment is to choose the President, namely, where “the votes shall be taken by states, the representation for each state having one vote.” U.S. CONST. amend. XII. The Electoral Count Act is silent on how the House of Representatives is to “decide” which electoral votes were cast by lawful electors. the Electoral Count Act adopts a priority rule, or “tie breaker,” “if the two Houses shall disagree in respect of counting of such votes,” in which case “the votes of the electors whose appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the State ... shall be counted.” This provision not only conflicts with the President of the Senate’s exclusive authority and sole discretion under the Twelfth Amendment to decide which electoral votes to count, but also with the State Legislature’s exclusive and plenary authority under the Electors Clause to appoint the Presidential Electors for their State”
Senator Cassidy,
Please remember the following truths in the coming days:
-
FRAUD VITIATES CONSENT in all matters relating to our representative form of government and;
-
THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IS EQUALLY DANGEROUS AS THE IMPROPRIETY ITSELF.
I am writing on behalf of myself and my family, but am expressing the consensus opinion of each and every Republican and Independent voter with whom I have discussed the November 2020 election results. I am an attorney by trade, however, my law practice is limited to mainly pro-bono work for the 27 individuals employed by the family construction company that I operate.
As you know, this great country is a Republic and not a direct democracy with checks and balances established to ensure that power is not easily usurped by any one branch of government, geographical region, or political party.
The APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY AND WIDESPREAD FRAUD SURROUNDING THE ELECTION AND ITS AFTERMATH POSE AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO OUR COUNTRY.
Please do not misunderstand the widely held beliefs of your constituency. We are honest and hardworking patriots. I would much rather be spending time with my four beautiful children than writing my representative, but I am deeply concerned about the future of this country.
Your constituents that re-elected you largely feel as follows:
IF JOE BIDEN LEGITIMATELY WON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, HE SHOULD BE INAUGURATED ON JANUARY 20, 2021.
IF THERE IS A 50% CHANCE THAT MR. BIDEN WAS THE BENEFICIARY OF FRAUD IN PA, GA, WI, NV AND THE OTHER SWING STATES, OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE, INCLUDING YOU, MUST CONTEST THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES.
From the dominion voting machines;
the Georgia ‘water main’ break;
the stacks of crisp, never folded mail-in ballots;
the late night ‘pause’ in counting swing state ballots;
the removal of signature verification requirements;
the unilateral state election board decisions to send out unrequested absentee ballots;
the ‘back dating’ of postmarks on mail-in ballots;
the refusal to allow poll watchers to stand close enough to actually view ballots;
THE ASTOUNDING NUMBER OF BALLOTS WITH ONE VOTE FOR BIDEN AND ZERO ‘DOWN TICKET’ VOTES;
the statistical anomalies across time in swing state precinct voting ratios;
the logical absurdity that Mr. Biden out performed President Obama’s record numbers ONLY in the swing states;
the FRIGHTENING amount of money invested into election equipment and election officials salaries by activist groups associated with George Soros and Mr. Zuckerberg;
the intense social and conventional censorship of all negative news stories relating to Mr. Biden;
the lack of any apparent enthusiasm- as reflected in unique ip addresses viewing live streamed campaign events- for Mr. Biden;
the willingness of the mainstream media and 50? high profile national intelligence employees and directors to sign a letter stating that Hunter Biden’s laptop was ‘Russian Disinformation’; And a legion of other unexplained anomalies certainly would cause any reasonable individual to doubt the integrity of the election “results” and undermine their faith in the entire process.
Perhaps there is a reasonable explanation for this strange confluence of events that will become evident when THE FULL SLATE OF EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED TO AND EXAMINED BY the legislature, courts, and American public.
Sir, the future of this nation and of your political party will be determined in the following weeks. Please have the courage and wisdom to contest the results of this election and demand that all that was done in the shadows be brought to light.
Please recognize the following: IF MR. BIDEN OR PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE TO HAVE ANY CHANCE AT A LEGITIMATE PRESIDENCY FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY AND FRAUD MUST BE EXAMINED AND ADDRESSED. If the allegations of fraud are truly without merit, you must object to the votes of the electoral college in the disputed states and allow Mr. Biden’s team to prove his victory was not fraudulently obtained.
May God grant you the courage and wisdom to make a stand for truth; the future of our country depends on it.
Sincerely,
I’m pretty sure she said it was a tape or video drop today?
-
intentionally created with the purpose of being deployed as a biological weapon or population control etc.
-
intentionally created or isolated by incompetent lab researchers who didn’t follow protocol and released it through incompetence.
-
naturally occurring and spread from eating nasty foods.
I guess what I can’t decide on is, if it’s bio weapon, why is it so shitty and barely kills anyone? And is the ccp really competent enough to predict its spread and effect, and to predict our reaction to it ?
No doubt the libs have run with the narrative, but is that planning ahead or just sleazbags lying in wait for any power grab that comes their way?
Thoughts ?
New signed up love site. Where does term shill come from ? Last question I’ve been wondering while reading site for couple weeks
Dumb question...how is pede pronounced? ‘Ped’ like pedestrian?...one syllable? Or like ‘peed’ rhymes with seed? Or like peh-deh with two syllables
From whence did the word arise?
What about shills? I got what they are but is that short for something?
Just signed up and made a comment and it has the handshake symbol next to it. What does that mean?
