If Susie was scared by the mostly PEACEFUL demonstration on January 6, just wait until the “natives” revert to tar, feathers and rail riding.

the highest court in the land...made it clear that there are no rules when it comes to Presidential elections.

Re-read about 'plenary powers' of election laws between Congress and state legislatures. It's clear that judiciary and executive stay 'hands off' of political election matters.

A court might make findings of fact, such as failure to follow state election laws results in an UNLAWFUL election. But neither courts nor Governors / Presidents can effect a solution.

So look up quo warranto as the court action to remove candidates who could not have 'won' an UNLAWFUL election, as several state's courts recently have disclosed.

she just showed that she is a communist and a traitor. We are a representative republic and NOT a democracy.

Democracy always leads to chaos and then to dictatorship... always. This is what our founding fathers were trying to prevent. We are heading towards the tipping point and I just want to see the faces of the current crop of liberals and democrats when the chaos develops and we descend into the abyss.

I’m old. I won’t have that much time to enjoy it, but I’ll have a little schadenfreude if I see some treated by americans that take after the French Jacobins when they form a Committee of Public Safety to really make sure everyone thinks the “right way”.

Actually it shows she’s either stupid, ill-educated about the histroy and structure of our government or both. Probably both ! She or her political advisors certainly knows her target audience for that statement is.

Another example of what Trump said during his 2016 campaign (paraphrasing) “We are governed by the stupid!”.

However we continue to allow it to happen. So how smart are we? (We treat elections with the seriousness of picking prom king\queen!)

Susan Collins referencing Al Gore as the exemplary standard to follow re electoral vote counting, full stop. For this admission alone she should surrender her drivers license and enroll as a participant in a medical study on the long tail effects of COVID-19.
Probably right now she is fully confused as to why people keep making comments to her about this article that she doesn’t recall writing.
