On January 6, a joint session of Congress will open with Vice President Pence presiding as president of the Senate.  His power will be plenary and unappealable.  You heard that right.  As president of the Senate, every objection comes directly to him, and he can rule any objection “out of order” or “denied.”  His task will be to fulfill his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to ensure that the laws be faithfully executed.  This is a high standard of performance, and V.P. Pence will have two choices.  He can roll over on “certified” electors, or he can uphold the law.

Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution gives state legislatures “plenary authority” as enunciated in Bush v. Gore.  This is key, since the counting of votes is discussed in Article II, the 12th Amendment, and 3 USC 15.  To this we must add the history of counting and objections recounted by Alexander Macris (here and here).  Put bluntly, it’s as clear as mud.  Add to that the fact that the contested states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have sent dueling slates of electors to D.C.  This means that the V.P. has to decide how he will handle the situation when two sealed envelopes are handed to him from any of those states.

Round Two:  The United States Must Enter the Fray

The Western Journal is presenting this memorandum, written by two prominent conservative legal scholars, essentially verbatim, with only enough editing to format it for the Op-Ed section of our website. This is the second memo by Messrs. Olson and McSweeney to be published exclusively by The Western Journal, and it, like the first, outlines a possible legal strategy for the Trump campaign to follow in the coming weeks. Prior to its publication here, it was sent to President Trump. — Ed. note

Overcoming the Court’s Abdication in Texas v. Penn

By William J. Olson and Patrick M. McSweeney, WJ  ..  December 24, 2020 December 24, 2020

In refusing to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania, the U.S. Supreme Court abdicated its constitutional duty to resolve a real and substantial controversy among states that was properly brought as an original action in that Court. As a result, the Court has come under intense criticism for having evaded the most important inter-state constitutional case brought to it in many decades, if not ever.

STARTS AT 5:00

THE CERTIFICATION OF BIDEN ELECTORAL VOTES WAS A CRIME IN ALL SWING STATES

Giuliani said:

“So, starting after Christmas, this is really going to blow up because the evidence that all these crooked television networks, newspapers, big tech, and the leadership of the Democratic Party will have been giving you is false – and you’re going to find it out all at once. It can be very shocking to the country.”

PA – 800,000 ballots unobserved in middle of night.
– 1.8 million ballots sent out. 1.4 million received back.
– Yet there were over 2.1 million votes recorded from mail-in ballots. Thus about 700,000 phony votes at a minimum.
AZ – Over the years, many non-citizens voted.
– Yet the certication said no non-citizens voted. Biden’s margin of victory was 10,000 votes.
– after election there were many polls taken of non-citizens showing from 36,000 to 200,000 non citizens voting.
WI AND MI – SAME PROBLEMS

A federal appeals court on Thursday dismissed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit in Wisconsin that sought to declare that election officials had acted unconstitutionally during the 2020 presidential election.

A three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled to uphold a lower court decision rejecting the president’s case that argues that the 2020 election in Wisconsin was conducted in an unlawful and unconstitutional manner.

“[I]t seems like we have gone backwards when it comes to race relations,” said commentator Carol Swain. “During my generation, we wanted equal opportunity. We wanted to be able to get into places to show what we could do.”

By Carrie Sheffield,  NEWS WITH VIEWS

Civil rights activist Carol Swain, who was just named to President Trump’s “1776 Commission” to teach American heritage, told Just the News this week she is dismayed that “affluent black kids are demanding lowered standards” instead of equal treatment under the law.

Swain, a prominent African-American social and political commentator, said she’s also horrified that left-leaning activists today are dismissing time-tested social virtues and institutions like punctuality, proper grammar, the nuclear family, diligence and perseverance as examples of “whiteness” or “white-dominant culture.”

Simon Parkes:
– The bad guys wanted to destroy the AT&T building because it contained machines that contained a great deal of information that was damning to the bad guys.
– So they packed the RV with explosives enough to destroy the reinforced AT&T building and all machines in it.
– The good Guys, Trump, knew this was happening and acted.
– They emptied the RV of most of its explosives, broadcasted a warning for all to evacuate, and when they were sure the whole area was evacuated, blew up the RV from Space or at least from a very high altitude perhaps using laser beams.
– The machines were thus left intact.
– he doesn’t say how they removed the explosives without being detected or whether they seized the machines.
– The buy guys then started spreading lies about a suicide bomber having done it.
– It is very important to Trump’s plans for Jan 6/21 that one million patriots show up. He wants all Congressmen and Senators to be fully aware of how the people feel about the fraud.
– He said again that Trump was sealing off the US so that bad guys couldn’t escape.
– Don’t worry.

Putting the $1B in perspective, if this money would be given to Americans instead, it would increase their payment by $3 each.

The big Oval Office meeting, focused on the military option regardless of what we have been told. Giuliani, Powell, Flynn are all in favour. Meadows and the other lawyer are not against the military option as reported, but want to give the Supremes or the legislatures one more chance.

TIERNEY NEWS

Congress was blindsided by President Trump’s rejection of their pork-filled $900 BILLION COVID-19 relief measure and $1.4 TRILLION omnibus bill that he needs to sign within 4 days to avoid a pocket veto & government shutdown. One of his best speeches ever.

Trump called out both parties for selling out the American people and sending billions overseas instead of helping small business. He told them to cut the waste & get back to him with a new COVID bill including $2000 checks. Congress knows they’ve been Trumped & are scrambling to control the narrative. Remember why Congress spends so much on foreign aid – they use it to launder OUR money for kickbacks & illegal campaign contributions!

The Supreme Court on Wednesday docketed an appeal filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign that seeks to reverse cases by a state court but did not immediately act on the campaign’s request to expedite the case.

Instead, the top court’s docket shows a Jan. 22, 2021. deadline—two days after the presidential inauguration day—for when the state is required to respond to the request for appeal.

#PenceCard Pence Violated the Constitution! https://t.co/iFJyKWa1OR

— Ivan #PenceCard Raiklin (@Raiklin) December 24, 2020

By Andrea Widburg, AMER THINKER

For the most part, Americans assume that the Vice President lacks power. The President may assign him responsibilities, but the Constitution does not. Instead, he’s the understudy, there just in case something happens to the president. Except that, in this strange year of 2020, we may learn that the Vice President is the most powerful man in America. Ivan Raiklin, a constitutional lawyer, claims that the Constitution grants Mike Pence the power to overturn a manifestly fraudulent election.

On December 22, Raiklin sent out a tweet urging Pence to inform the Secretaries of State in those six contested states that, despite overwhelming evidence of fraud, certified Electors, that he cannot accept those certifications because the electors were not legally appointed.

Abstract

In March 2020, the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) was created and led by Professor Paul E. Marik to continuously review the rapidly emerging basic science, translational, and clinical data to develop a treatment protocol for COVID-19. The FLCCC recently discovered that ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medicine, has highly potent anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties against SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. This conclusion is based on the increasing study results reporting effectiveness, not only within in-vitro and animal models, but in numerous clinical trials
