.@JennaEllisEsq asking Penn. state legislators to come up with a “remedy” outside the courts. That is, appoint their own electors (for Trump).

This is an attack on democracy and the popular will. They are trying to overturn ejection results.

2. At a certain point, it's sedition

(edit. wrote 'treason' at first. Corrected thanks to other DUers who reminded that treason has specific meaning.

[Nevilledog]

4. Sedition is pretty obvious to me.

[NurseJackie]

5. At most, sedition. Treason has a specific meaning in the US, and this isn't it.

8. True. I'm correcting. THX.

15. ...

6. Would these be for the electoral college vote?

[Nevilledog]

7. Yes.

9. Basically, a big fuck-you to Pennsylvania voters

10. Can't she be disbarred (and worse) for inciting something like this?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Where was this fascist lunatic shit out of? I've never heard of her before this so called

administration. Was there some sort of RW lunatic asylum jailbreak no one told us about?

12. What Jenna Ellis said about Trump:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/18/politics/kfile-jenna-ellis-2016-trump-comments/index.html
Trump's legal adviser Jenna Ellis in 2016 called him an 'idiot' and said his supporters didn't care about 'facts or logic'
By Andrew Kaczynski, Em Steck and Nathan McDerm

(CNN) Jenna Ellis has been one of President Donald Trump's most ardent defenders since joining his campaign as a legal adviser and surrogate a year ago, but in early 2016 she was one of his toughest critics and deeply opposed his candidacy, according to a CNN KFile review of statements she made on her official Facebook page and in local Colorado radio appearances.

Ellis, an attorney and former law professor from Colorado, repeatedly slammed then-candidate Trump as an "idiot," who was "boorish and arrogant," and a "bully" whose words could not be trusted as factually accurate. She called comments he made about women "disgusting," and suggested he was not a "real Christian."

In one March 2016 Facebook post, Ellis said Trump's values were "not American," linking to a post that called Trump an "American fascist." She praised Mitt Romney for speaking out against Trump, referring to him as "Drumpf," -- a nickname coined by comedian John Oliver after a biographer revealed Trump's ancestor changed the family's surname from Drumpf to Trump.

"Why should we rest our highest office in America, on a man who fundamentally goes back and forth and really cannot be trusted to be consistent or accurate in anything," Ellis said in one April 2016 radio appearance.

In March 2016, Ellis attacked Trump supporters in a Facebook post for not caring that the Republican candidate was "unethical, corrupt, lying, criminal, dirtbag."

13. Oh, I see. She must from the same assembly floor that crapped out the Conways and

Mce-Whatever the Fuck Her Name Is.....

14. Biden Can beat this in court

The legislature can pass anything they want. But they can’t get current law overturned as to how electors are chosen without a governor signature. So the direct selection of electors by the legislature would be against well-established law and I can’t imagine a court would agree to it. In effect they would be saying that the method used to select electors in all 50 states for the past who knows how many years was illegal.

16. This is all a money grab

They know they have zero shot at this (Trump and his “lawyers”), but they want to raise as much money as possible from Trump’s cult followers.

How can you raise money to “Fight Election Fraud” if you don’t continue to pretend you are actually in a fight?

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. I don’t know how we move past the age of disinformation without some sort of control over false claims. Can’t suppress free speech but there’s got to be consequences for spreading lies. Want to spread a conspiracy theory? K, but there will be fines if claims are found to be false yet continue to be spread.

Somehow we need to make OAN, NewsMax, and other conspiracy outlets held accountable.

17. I suggest a yuuuuge 6 foot tall second place trophy

Or a tiny little participation trophy

Not sure which would be more insulting

[struggle4progress]

18. It's an attack on the Constitution, too. For a limited time, I'll assume she has problems reading
