yes of course it would be unimaginable in ordinary times .... but alas as difficult as it may be for some folks to comprehend .... these are not ordinary times.

So here is how they will present it.

The Atlantic reported that a Trump campaign legal adviser said this effort would be framed as protecting the will of the people.

"The state legislatures will say, 'All right, we've been given this constitutional power. We don't think the results of our own state are accurate, so here's our slate of electors that we think properly reflect the results of our state,' " the legal adviser told the outlet.

and the basis for their argument is Bush v Gore

The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College. U. S. Const., Art. II, §1. This is the source for the statement in McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U. S. 1, 35 (1892), that the State legislature’s power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary; it may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself, which indeed was the manner used by State legislatures in several States for many years after the Framing of our Constitution. Id., at 28–33. History has now favored the voter, and in each of the several States the citizens themselves vote for Presidential electors. When the state legislature vests the right to vote for President in its people, the right to vote as the legislature has prescribed is fundamental; and one source of its fundamental nature lies in the equal weight accorded to each vote and the equal dignity owed to each voter. The State, of course, after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors. See id., at 35 (“[T]here is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated”) (quoting S. Rep. No. 395, 43d Cong., 1st Sess.).

So presumably how this works is, they would have a Trump loyalist list in waiting, the state legislature would complain about results as not reflecting will nor intention of the people and reclaim their power to appoint electors. The SoS of these states would certify the slate chosen and present to Congress. Without a certificate no other list of electors would be allowed.

But you say, the courts, the courts. And I say yes what about Trump appointed ultra conservative courts. What do you think will happen? Trump loyalists court appointees would do the right thing? Really???

While I find it unpalatable to believe anyone from the judiciary would abrogate their Constitutional duties and become partisan, this administration has me convinced. Take a look at any of the administrative departments of the federal government .... completely politicized. Take a look at Republican held Senate ... complicit in his criminal behavior.

This may be unimaginable to you but to me the possibility is getting closer to 0.5.


ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
