Democrat Mulls Move To Delay Certification of Trump's Victory (needs one Senator, doesnt have it)

Again, two members (or 268 members, for that matter) can't "delay certification" for more than a few minutes.

[Jim Noble]

Democrats lodged formal protests during certification of both the 2004 and 2000 Electoral College results

And how they howled when Trump wouldn't promise to accept the results of November 8 without question...

“This action by a foreign nation was unprecedented, violated our Constitution and undermined the founding pillars of American liberty and democracy.”

Ummm, I didn’t think a foreign nation was bound by our Constitution. They are, of course, bound by international and bilateral agreements.

If Congress threw out enough votes to put Trump below the 270-vote threshold, lawmakers would choose the president from three people who received the most Electoral College votes Dec. 19—Trump, Hillary Clinton and Colin Powell.

You should have armed up if you wanted to play this card, you brainless Progressive @ssclowns.

"This is not about trying to stop Donald Trump from becoming president," he insisted.

Oh, Bravo Sierra Perlmutter. Don't urinate on my leg and tell me it's raining.

And I’ll bet you have boxes and boxes of “20-vote electors” arrayed in their snappy little uniforms of copper & brass. :)

Apparently, even the Colorado politicians have been getting a fresh supply of marijuana.

Their brains are fried,

Wait until Colorado needs something from Trump——Payback is a bitch.

[kiryandil]

Maybe we can count this as ANOTHER loss for Hillary, bringing her total versus Trump to four...

[nicepaco]

Does it say in the Constitution that congress may or must certify anything?

Maybe we should get the yeas and nays from dog catchers next week.

[Publius]

Yes. The Constitution says that Congress counts the electoral votes from the states and either declares a winner, or declares that the election is thrown into the House (president) and Senate (vice president).

"This is not about trying to stop Donald Trump from becoming president," he insisted.

"Yeah, that's right!"

Is this Plan J or Plan K to stop Trump? There've been so many I've lost count!

• Plan A was to let the election proceed with less-than-normal ballot-box-stuffing, since Hillary was so far ahead that she was guaranteed to win without the need for the usual amount of cheating.
• Plan B was to recount & flip Wisc + Mich + Penn by stuffing in all the fraudulent ballots from (A) that they hadn't thought they'd need.
• Plan C was to use tearful pleas from washed-up actors to sway the mythical "Hamilton Electors" to throw the EC to Hillary or Mitt or McPain.
• Plan D was to impeach Trump before he took office. Never mind this is impossible under the Constitution; who needs the Constitution when you have plenty of leftwing Federal judges to shop from?
• Plan E was to have such overwhelming evidence that the Russians hacked every aspect of the election, that Hillary would be declared the winner ... by nationwide acclamation I suppose?
• Plan F was for some court (USSC?) to declare the election invalid, since Hillary won the popular vote and therefore the Voters Of America were illegally disenfranchised, due to the unconstitutionality of the Electoral College.
• Plan G was to pray for God to kill Trump before inauguration - a God they don't believe exists. (Charlie Sheen & others)
• Plan H was for Obama to order Trump to undergo a "Neuropsychological Evaluation" to determine if he was fit for office (see 80% of the way down the page). The evaluators were to be three Lesbian shrinks, one of whom (Dee Mosbacher) wrote a book praising Father-Daughter incest.
• Plan I & J were ... I'm pretty sure there were one or two more Stop-Trump-Plans that I forget at the moment ...
• Plan K, which is announced just today, is that merely one Congessperson & one Senator can filibuster/delay the certification of the Electoral Votes until .... until when? Forever? Does Obama get to stay in office under martial law until the filibusterers say otherwise?

Is anyone keeping the canonical list of these?

[virgil]

These a-holes don’t believe in elections. That’s why we can’t allow them to get into power again.

[hal ogen]

LIBS must be crushed to dust...no quarter. If you want to be their friend, something is seriously wrong with you.

[RightLady]

I guess the GOP will have to have a GOP congress to certify any Republican that’s elected President. DEMs will never certify a Republican.

[Cololeo]

This was happening long before pot. I haven’t really seen much difference. Pot was here, legal or not. We have our own swamp to drain.

[Lazamataz]

THIS one will work!!! None of the others did, but THIS one will!
