Maybe if they narrow the Electoral Count Act provision that lets states throw out results when voters “failed to make a choice” on election day, that would help. (See Reform #6 here https://t.co/leiA3aks2F) But that wouldn’t stop a state that said, ‘No, we know who really won…’

Looks like Congress is getting ready to fight the last war–eg. prevent the VP from throwing out legitimate state electors, when what people worry about is state legislatures (eg GA) sending bogus electors under cover of disputing the vote count https://t.co/xo8E4pfM26

Bizarre that Dems are seizing on opposition to race preferences in life-saving medicines as an issue to use against Trumpish Republicans. Supporting the preferences seems a dead-weight political loser for the Dems, in addition to being wrong and unconstitutional. https://t.co/2D6AuY6eMm

So if Trump incited the Oath Keepers, they get off! (At least off of the charge of ‘seditious conspiracy’.) To get a conviction, prosecutors will have to downplay Trump’s role in declaring the election stolen. https://t.co/gRbIBj2AHu

Note Gorsuch’s opinion says that even IF Congress clearly gave OSHA authority for mandate, it’d still be unconstitutional under the “non-delegation doctrine.” I like the non-del. doctrine–Congress shouldn’t outsource its job.
