Joint session opens at 1:00.
Yeah everything I've heard this morning sounds that way. "We will never stop fighting for you!" is something you say when you have lost...
December 14th decision date. Referring to the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision.
Well given that the motion for expedited consideration is seeking for the reply date to be set for 12/30/20, I think it's fair to say that the motion is not going to be allowed as filed...
I don’t know what I am anymore, but I am definitely no Republican.
A petition for writ of certiorari was filed. That's the standard pleading filed in a Supreme Court docket, essentially seeking permission for the case to proceed. A motion for expedited consideration of the petition was also filed, which is a separate document asking for the court to please speed up the process of ruling on the petition. Looks like SCOTUS has ignored that motion, and has set the Petition response date for 2/3 (as opposed to the date sought by the motion, which was 12/30)
The vote by delegation is only for situations where there's a stalemate in the race. If Trump can get majority of electoral college votes then joint session would have to certify his win unless both houses voted to object - and right now, the Senate R majority would assist that. Essentially it would be the exact opposite situation as the current one (if allowed to continue)
