You know what guys? This is fucking encouraging. Thinking back to 10 years ago, I could name maybe one senator, two at the most, who would have signed off on this.
Chins up and stiff upper lip.
"streamed live 5 hours ago"
I don't see "going back to States" option anywhere, though. Either they reschedule and certify however they do, or, if not done by the 20th, presidential succession kicks in, as far as I understand.
Thanks. I can not seem to find Jan 6 being the hard deadline in the document, or that it goes back to the states. The closest I see is this:
A contingent election would be conducted by a newly elected Congress, immediately following the joint congressional session that counts and certifies electoral votes. This session is set by law for January 6 of the year following the presidential election,but is occasionally rescheduled.
Can you please point to a specific language of the law?
Could be understood as "if there are two slates, I'll send it back to the state to tell me which one is correct".
Or maybe I am overly optimistic.
I notice there is time, but no date. From today?
Now do an executive order, Mr. President!
100x more virus cases than reported
That would drive case mortality down to on par with paper cuts.
he’s racist, he has sexually assaulted women, he’s corrupt as hell, a proven liar and has done nothing good for America, including getting foreign intervention to divide Americans
No need to bring biden into this conversation.
Too little, too late. Not that is matters, anyway: I don't expect him to be seated by the 6th.
It is highly likely to be worse or better. I mean, what are the chances of a new year being EXACTLY the same as the previous one?
I would gladly pay any (reasonable) amount of money to watch that live on pay-per-view.
Just saw a billboard today: "my mask protects you, your mask protects me".
Fuck them. I owe no duty of protection to some asshole I never met and have no intention of meeting.
Was. A few days ago. Sort of.
Yes, sort of. In the same decision, the judge ruled that each of them will have to be challenged individually, which is exactly what Trump team is doing in WI (IIRC, I heard that from Rudy on Bannon, but I may be mistaken).
Textually speaking, probably yes: we won't know whether certificates have been received by Dec. 23, until Dec. 23 ends at midnight.
No opinion on related legal matters. :)
Yep, that's what I suspect.
As I said above, I am not a lawyer, but I seem to recall precedent from obama era.
Environmental groups: EPA, do this! EPA: Can't. No authority. Sue us. wink wink Environmental Groups: Understood, suing. EPA: You know what, we won't defend. You win. Sad. wink
It is not an error.
As I mentioned elsewhere on this board, ten years ago I would have had tough time naming two committing to something like this. This is encouraging, actually.
