Graham Doubtful Hawley's Objection to Electors Will Succeed
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 31 December 2020 09:17 AM

Senator Lindsey Graham said he’ll listen to Republican colleague Josh Hawley’s objection to the certification of Electoral College votes for Joe Biden but doubts it will succeed. “Senator Hawley has every right to object,” Graham, of South Carolina, said in an interview on Fox News Thursday. “But it’s another thing to overturn an election of another state.” Hawley, of Missouri, said Wednesday he will raise objections when Congress convenes to certify Electoral College results Jan. 6 to how some states, particularly Pennsylvania, conducted their elections. President Donald Trump so far has refused to concede his loss in the election, urging his supporters to carry on the fight.

Trust this - The Senate will vote this objection down 3-97 if it is even allowed to be heard.

In this case, you can trust him. This effort will not succeed.

And like Judge Smails, Graham cheated and insisted on winter rules when it was 79 degrees and sunny.

Lindsay says it has been “tried in federal courts”...ummm..nope I don’t think so..I think rejected on procedural basis like standing..not tried on merits..Lindsay knows better than to make that statement. Pathetic.

It is devastating that so few in the US Senate are coming to our president’s defense. All these cable news guests like John Kennedy, Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn and of course Grahamnesty himself have always voiced concern for the president, yet they are nowhere to be found now that they are urgently needed.

Lindsey Graham (US Senator, chairman “judiciary committee”) was on OAN the other day saying “somebody” should look into the Hunter Biden laptop thing. Every day I wake up hating these people even more than the last.

Bannon just announced that about a dozen other Republican senators are meeting to join Josh Hawley in objecting to the electoral votes. As Mitch McConnell told them on a conference call last week, this will be the most important vote they will take in their lifetime.

Great news!

Steve Bannon just now on the War Room stated that "roughly a dozen Senators" will join Josh Hawley in contesting the election on the 6th.

So . . . What then are those disenfranchised voters to do?

Noone has standing to pursue in court.
It’s another state.
Corrupt governor.
In the bag SOS.
Half the people see the others as less than deserving.

Sounds like the 1860’s.

Substitute “Black” or “Slave” in these arguments for “Conservative” or “Republican”.

How does one confront blatant, publicly sanctioned Constitutional infringement?
Wait til next year is NOT a solution.

Note the Leftists’ careful plan. Using their captive news media and key spokespersons they said polls show Biden will win. (Never true polling).

Then cheated in vote counting. Had true results covered up with massive “Biden is declared the winner in (state names).” By the media. Michigan Governeror Whitmer orders Sec. of State Jocelyn Benson to erase the votes on all machines. All the media say “But you have to have proof of vote fraud, not just accusations.” Courts block the proof. SCOTUS is cowardly and will not allow a fair hearing in court.

Then “Office of the President Elect of the United States Joseph Biden” with press releases and American flags. Followed by fooling with Dominion vote tabulations to make Biden ahead.

But all this time that does NOT make this an “overtthrow” or “overturn” of an election if the GOP side has lawsuits over the actual vote totals. It is merely finding out the true vote totals-—not an overthrow.

But dimwitted Americans at home said the morning after the election “I saw it on the TV news Biden won it but they say Trump won’t leave the White House and is going to overthrow the election.”

Perhaps linda should sack up and join in. After all, he’s good for 6 more years so why not.

These swamp “conservatives” did nothing for two months and now will give a beltway theater performance. Sadly, many voters will be duped by this. That’s why the do it. Had they really cared about stopping the steal they would have been lighting rockets on McConnell and the state legislatures the day after the election. Did they? Nope. This is all theater now. The fix is in.

“But it’s another thing to overturn an election of another state.”

The Senate would simply be undoing wrongdoing after the courts have refused to act.

The LSAT favors leftists. Law school pro bono requirements also favor leftists. The judiciary naturally leans leftist.

Senators have been elected to do the people’s work. Hop to it.
