Vice President Mike Pence is being sued by Republicans. (impeachment, Rudy Giuliani, elections)

[My2cents55]

A group of Republicans including Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Kelli Ward of Arizona is suing Vice President Mike Pence in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The Electoral College is scheduled to certify the win on Jan. 6, a procedural task overseen by the sitting vice president—in this case, Pence, who has not yet publicly acknowledged the fact that Trump lost his bid for a second term. In the lawsuit, details of which reporter John Kruzel of The Hill posted on Twitter, Gohmert, Ward, and 10 other plaintiffs such as Students for Trump COO Tyler Bowyer, Arizona Republican Party Executive Director Greg Safsten, and Maricopa County Republicans Second Vice Chair Nancy Cottle, are asking federal Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee, to declare Pence legally authorized to pick pro-Trump electors on Jan. 6.

This is the most pathetic and sad thing ever but I guess the Republican's want to lose another lawsuit. If Pence wants to preserve his legacy he should come out and say I will not take part in a coup will fulfill my duties under the constitution.

It could. But in the real world - the one that doesn't sway to the Trumpers' imagination - it's Pence.

Anyway, going nowhere. The Constitution is quite clear on the President of the Senate's role, and it uses the word "shall" three times in rapid succession.

Four Seasons Landscaping is still the one to beat, I think. This is just garden-variety pandering to the redhats.

This post aged well.

I know fact-checking has gotten a bad name among certain political factions, but there are facts in this world and they can be checked.

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

Is it not suspicious that the "actual complaint" bears no case number?

Anyone with a typewriter can fill out a form like that, meaningless if it hasn't been filed and given a case #.
