I'm not sure he should have been to begin with.
General Senate Judiciary Committee Report on Jan 6th
- Thread starter Wintermute
- Start date
it was still MORE of a threat to the functioning of democracy than something that was ZERO threat to the functioning of democracy.
because SOME is MORE than NONE.
laugh it up, chuckles.
when you're done, go look up the Act.
nothing happening that day would ever impact the certification of the electors. Nothing.
that happened without the ceremony.
look up the Electoral Count Act, FFS.
18 months later and you still have no idea what was actually happening that day. You're as ignorant as the mob that walked up the steps of the Capitol.
Tell me what was actually happening that day.
And I don’t think the Electoral Count Act means what you think it means.
Shame on all of us for acting surprised about Jan 6.
2016 LAS VEGAS — A defiant Donald Trump used the high-profile setting of the final presidential debate here Wednesday night to amplify one of the most explosive charges of his candidacy: that if he loses the election, he might consider the results illegitimate because the process is rigged.
Questioned directly as to whether he would accept the outcome should Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton prevail on Nov. 8, Trump demurred. “I will keep you in suspense,” the Republican nominee said. Clinton called Trump’s answer “horrifying,” saying he was “talking down our democracy.”

On January 5th, 2021 the same outlets currently reporting that democracy almost fell were running articles explaining how the vice president can't decide whether or not an election outcome is legitimate.
It's some of the finest gas lighting I've witnessed.
But that wasn't going to happen.
He got mad. Cried a lot.
And importantly the reason the women were protesting was because they knew he was going to overturn Roe V Wade...
He said under oath. He would never do that. As did the others that Trump appointed. They swore that it was a settled matter.
The protesters knew he and they were lying.
Cut to now.
Who do you think was correct?
A lying supreme Court judge or some women who protested?
The 6th Jan insurrectionists were also lying. They pretended the election was a lie. They wanted to subvert democracy.
Facts are facts even if Trump and his acolytes say there are 2 versions of truth.
You're in a cult.
what Pence said was happening that day, as defined by the Electoral Count Act.
from Jan6, 2021, about an hour before cops started removing barricades and giving the mob free access to the Capitol...
on what do you base your assertion that Kavanaugh lied under oath?
Well when tney said that Roe V Wade was settled precedent.
But it seems the protesters were right and they used weasel words.
Trump justices accused of going back on their word on Roe – but did they?
Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett face accusations of having misled politicians and the public about their willingness to overturn Roe
www.theguardian.com
They gave themselves an out.
But they said things like
At that time, Kavanaugh told Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) that he agreed with Chief Justice John Roberts that Roe was "settled law" but his line of questioning on Wednesday seemed to point in a different direction.
Brett Kavanaugh's Views on Overturning Roe v. Wade Appear to Have Changed
The conservative justice cited a number of landmark cases where the Court overruled its own precedent.

Saying settled law and not changing precedent can be interpreted differently to lawyers and judges…
Who knew? We ll the protesters did. A right as fundamental to yours to them is to the second amendment. Just rode over.
imagine the carnage if the supreme court did that to your precious law…

first, I'm not convinced that the draft opinion is going to be the majority opinion. We'll know soon.
IMAO-
All natural rights are equal. The right to privacy and the right to do with your body as you please are both fundamental human rights. I think there are better ways to federalize the right to privacy than Roe v Wade, but hopefully this forces Congress to negotiate a legislative solution.
LoL at being dismissive of either of those scandals.
identity politics gotta identity politic.
I don't understand what you mean by natural laws
What ceremony? Lol. There was no ceremony. Pence was using that as a figure of speech because he has no power in the process.
The Electoral Count Act governs the process of electoral votes being submitted to Congress, Congress counting and certifying those votes, and declaring the winning president. Congress holds a joint session to count and certify the electoral votes. This session starts on Jan 6 at 1 pm. The Vice President sits at the helm to hear objections and direct protocols but can’t participate in the objections or voting on objections. He can reject some objections though. But he can’t say votes don’t count. That’s why he said his role was ceremonial. If this process is not complete then Biden can not take office. Trump and Pence are still out on Jan 20 but Pelosi would have been President until Congress certified the votes and declared a President.
The Electoral Count Act outlines rules and regulations that make it almost impossible for Congress not to declare a winner before Jan 20 though.
They were in session when the riots started and had to stop the process, just like the Kavanaugh hearings. They had to come back and reconvene later, just like the Kavanaugh hearings. Except one interrupted the appointment of a judge and the other interrupted the declaration of the new President of the United States.
I do agree one was more meaningful though. I will give you that.
Imagine if those MAGA insurrectionists had succeeded in stopping the certification........ only to find out that their efforts had rewarded them with President Pelosi.

Jan 6th was mostly peaceful
We already told you. And then we kicked your ass at war to help you understand.
" We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...."
there was no mechanism by which they could stop the certification.Imagine if those MAGA insurrectionists had succeeded in stopping the certification........ only to find out that their efforts had rewarded them with President Pelosi.

None.
