Is Luttig right?


“We Americans no longer agree on what is right or wrong, what is to be valued and what is not, what is acceptable behavior and not, and what is and is not tolerable discourse in civilized society.”

I never thought so. The Vice President must certify that he believes the election was fair and legal. By the time Pence was to make that declaration, there was so much information coming in of fraud and illegal activities. While the VP does not have the power to overturn and election, he does have the power to declare that he can not certify the election. In that event the constitutional remedy is for the house of representatives to select the President and the senate to select the Vice President. In the house , each STATE gets one vote ( so the elected representatives of each state would have to vote amongst themselves and the majority picks that state's selection for President) , while in the Senate each senator gets a vote to select the VP. The candidate with the majority wins the office.

Pence refused to even consider it , which I thought was a cowardly act. The constitutional remedy would have quieted the country instead of dividing it further, because at least half the country believes the election was stolen and biden is the illegitimate puppet of the deep state.
@TexChik Thanks. I'm not seeing how that answers the question though.

@MistyCee Luttig advised Pence he had no power to "change" the election. That wasn't true, he could have restored integrity to it and the country.

If you are referring to his statement that the country should not be ignoring the show trial, he is wrong. Nothing about what the house is doing on TV is for anything other than to malign Trump to try and keep him from running again. The FBI has already stated Trump had done nothing wrong and that there was no insurrection. Nothing substantial from what they are saying or doing would survive in court or cross examination. Just like the impeachments, in this venue the libs can say and do anything they want. Judging from the viewership numbers, America is done with libs creating evidence in a kangaroo court to bash the president or now ex-president in order to steal power from him. We all remember the 2-year Russian collusion scam hillary and the libs pulled on this country.
@TexChik I was really referring to the quote about Americans disagreeing.

@MistyCee That's a given. Most people on the left just parrot what CNN says. CNN says whatever is necessary to make the narrative go the way they want, which usually has little in common with the truth. I find it interesting that the radical lefties have no tolerance to hear any evidence that is being stockpiled about the election fraud. Now that the left can no longer censor Trump because he has Twitter and Truth Social, they will have to bury their heads in the sand not to hear it before 2024. Independents such as myself (I am a constitutional conservative) are listening though, as are minorities. Given biden's polling numbers are at a record low now, before the election when the facts roll out will they even register?
@TexChik Thanks. I didn't realize Trump is back on Twitter, though. When did that happen?

@MistyCee He's not yet though the new owner has given him an open invite. But if Trump runs, you can believe he will take advantage of it. In the meanwhile, Musk (a new Republican) will not censor election fraud content and will likely regain all those conservatives (like me) that deleted their Twitter accounts while it was a radical leftist censor site.
