Biden is going to be sworn in. There is nothing we can do about that. But, there is no reason why each state can't fix the problem that led to this abomination of an election result. The Constitution is clear, that the state legislatures control the manner in which electors are chosen. Not the bureaucrats, not the Governor, not the state courts. The legislature. In any reading of the US Constitution, that is plain. What is also plain from the recent Supreme Court "punt" on the question, it must be fixed in each state. One state cannot sue another state to fix this particular problem.
In an article at PJMedia, Stacey Lennox talks about this problem:
Many Georgia residents are horrified that we live in a state supposedly run by a Republican trifecta, yet our election procedures deviated so drastically from the election laws passed by our legislators.
Well, if Georgian residents are horrified at the outcome, they need to fix the problem. The legislature needs to assert itself against those who would thwart their intentions, and if necessary, take it all the way to the US Supreme Court. Surely, if Texas cannot, then the legislatures in the several states can sure their Governors and election officials to ensure that the will of the legislature is followed.
Our Governor in Louisiana tried to loosen our election procedures to achieve a desired outcome, and he greatly expanded fraudulent voting to achieve those ends. Luckily, our Secretary f State was able to mitigate the most extreme wishes of our Governor to modulate the practice. I am convinced that the election returns in Louisiana accurately reflect he will of he people, but I will be contacting my legislators to ensure that the will of the legislature is followed whether the Governor likes it or not.
The several states listed recently as "battleground" states should follow the same course, If the voting practices in those states do not scrupulously follow the law, then it is the legislatures responsibility to hold those election officials accountable. If the state Courts don't fall into line on scrupulously backing the legislature, then I'm sure that there are impeachment remedies available to the legislatures.
Didn't PA try that, and the court disagreed with their legislature?
ReplyDeleteAs stated above PA tried just that. Their own state court and even the overall supreme court punted. Essentially you have courts making the law or not enforcing it anymore. That's the issue at hand. We have courts that are not hearing arguments or are sideing against what the constituation outright clearly states.
ReplyDeleteYou are stuck in the past. The system is the enemy it is not the solution. It is too late to fix this, far too late.
ReplyDeleteI live in Georgia. The state and federal courts blessed this. The governor and secretary of state blessed this. If the legislature doesn't start impeachments, I'm getting seriously afraid we'll see people voting from rooftops.
