I don't really care what "link' you post of some "journalists" spin on a explanation

Gohmert’s suit alleges that any action taken by Pence on Jan. 6 to formally declare Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election will be fraudulent.

Nitpick all you want. Do you agree with Gohmert's lawsuit?

do I agree with Gohmert…..no...NO


do I think he needs to sue the government for a KNOWN definition that the VP is the one who will declare whom ever the victor of an election.... again NO...he is asking for a ruling on a known and understood (and enforced) law




the point is that the OP's title...based on a twitter post (and also your local news link), wrongfully state the "pence is being sued"... when the fact is that the government is being sued, based on the role of the VP (as the Presiding Officer of the Senate)….so in essence what is being 'challenged' is article 1, section 3, clause 4 of the constitution...…….. its a no winner

Here's the actual complaint which lists Mike Pence as the DEFENDANT. https://electioncases.osu.edu/wp-con...rt-v-Pence.pdf

Still sticking to your guns that Pence isn't being sued?

how is it that the twit(ter) thinks that asking a judge to say the Pence is authorized to pick electors, equals out to Pence being sued?

Maybe because it lists Mike Pence as the defendant?

actually it lists the VP (in his/her official capacity) as the defendant...… could be anyone including incoming VP Harris....




so the FACT REMAINS that this is NOT a suit against the PERSON of Pence...but about his official role (as per the constitution


also

Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to issue a declaratory judgment finding that:


A. Sections 5 and 15 of the Electoral Count Act, 3 U.S.C. §§ 5 and 15, are unconstitutional because they violate the Twelfth Amendment, U.S. CONST. art. II, § 1, cl. 1 & amend. XII on the face of it; and further violate the Electors Clause;

Chemtrails Kelli should just go away. I cannot take Arizona Republicans that serious with her. She is nothing but a nutter.
