I guess the Federalist Society, the organization that loves conservative judges and claims to love the constitution doesn't seem to like democratic elections. Yet here is John Eastman leading the charge along with Cruz, Paxton and Hawley and all those other state attorney generals.

The Capitol mob didn’t come out of nowhere. It was a response to the concerted attack on 2020’s election results crafted by elite right-wing politicians, academics, and attorneys. No law professor played a bigger role in Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the election than John Eastman. As the president’s actual attorneys backed away from his coup, Eastman rushed in to fill the void, attempting to bolster the scheme with incoherent legal theories. When Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton urged the Supreme Court to overturn the election by nullifying millions of votes, it was Eastman who intervened on Trump’s behalf to endorse Paxton’s suit. When Trump exhorted Vice President Mike Pence to award him a second term by unilaterally disqualifying electoral votes, it was Eastman who advised Pence that he could, indeed, throw the election to Trump. And when Trump needed a putative legal scholar to lend credence to his pre-insurrection rally, he brought out Eastman to deliver a speech alongside Rudy Giuliani, ringleader of the president’s efforts to steal the election.
Yes there are constitutional provisions and procedures to overturn an election but in reality most 'professional' politicians will never allow use of those processes because they need to sell there is nothing wrong with the current election system They have to sell and validate establishment procedures are fine & dandy especially since they themselves got'elected'.
Just questioning the institution or talking about negative news puts fear in the air. I've seen it in the private sector as well with employees that would rob their employers blind or spend all their time trying to get over. Yet talk about public news that says the company is being taken over, merged, loosing money or stock price etc it's shut up, don't talk like that.
I'm hoping someone can open up TDS Trauma Centers to possibly give these folks some help. They obviously need it.
There is help out there.
