[Pluvious]

It’s just a few lawmakers like Ted between us a failed republic

This is what authoritarianism looks like: your vote doesn’t count.

I was a former state legislator. And NO, we did not have the authority to change electoral outcomes because we didn’t like the winner. Mark Levin and @FoxNews are simply wrong. This is America, not Russia.

Have they EVER taken a U.S. History class in school????

4. They're really pushing this. And they're pushing it so they can do it.

[eShirl]

5. why does he have a photo of woke president Abe Lincoln behind him?

[oldsoftie]

9. Because they claim freeing the slaves is a Republican accomplishment since he was "R"

Just as they love to point out that 75% of the democrats voted against the '64 civil rights act & the republicans voted FOR it. They ignore the massive party switch in the next 20 years

12. Yep, party realignment is understood by anyone who has taken poli-sci 101 and got at least a D.

[oldsoftie]

21. LOL!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

28. Tragically, that's probably less than 10% of TrumpSuckers.

The belligerent ignorance of his flock knows no bounds.

6. Correcting Levin is a full-time job.

[Initech]

7. Fox News is the reason why we can't have nice things.

[txwhitedove]

8. Lobby for a change? A threatening mob attempting coup does not equal lobbying.

[calimary]

10. Wishful thinking, Levin?

[Grins]

11. FUN FACT: Levin is a lawyer! Who...

…wrote a book: “Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America.”. (A title that is now true, but gnarled garden-gnome Levin will never admit to it.)

Published, of course, by Regnery Publishing, where conservatives go to have their shitty, money-losing shit-screeds published, ultimately destined for the bargain-bin out on the sidewalk.

20. Another person who should lose their right to practice law. Perhaps we have way too many

lawyers in this Country, and I do know that there are a lot of damn fine people who are attorneys too. It's too bad that we have these idiots who claim that they have the nectar of the Gods in proclaiming various (and false) so called legal truths.

[oldsoftie]

23. I'd settle for banning personal injury lawyer ads on TV.

My God they're annoying & CONSTANT in my area. And the amount you see generally says a lot about the people in your area.

[SWBTATTReg]

24. Here too. And getting Social Security benefits ads run constantly, around the clock

nonstop. Yikes! I guess it's the old chasing the Ambulances routine in the old days.

Take care!

[oldsoftie]

27. OMG Joe Namath & Jimmie Walker! HORRIBLE ads!

[SWBTATTReg]

29. I know! I've seen them more now than I ever did when Namath was playing for the Jets

and JW was in his show. Way too much.

[gratuitous]

13. So, counselor, enlighten us

What's the legal basis for overturning the clear will of the people, as expressed in their preference for one candidate over another at the ballot box? Is "majority rules" some kind of woke nonsense that superior men like you are not bound to recognize or respect? What's your alternative to the proposition that the candidate who got 306 electoral votes wins over the candidate who got 232 electoral votes?

14. The chyron: "One-sided Show Trial".

That's because there is only one side: THE TRUTH!

All the rest are lies and propaganda.

[FakeNoose]

15. K & R Thank you Congressman Ted Lieu

[rurallib]

16. If legislatures and boards can change election results, why even have elections?

[Handler]

17. Mark Levin is a damned fool

[IronLionZion]

18. They can always reject votes of people they don't like

if we voted for candidates they don't like.

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. Freedom of speech? Or is it Freedom to speak Total Bullshit??

[Hekate]

22. KnR

[lees1975]

25. Why doesn't he point out where the law allows a state legislature to change election outcomes?

Because it doesn't exist.

[Lonestarblue]

26. Sedition is defined as words or speech that incite people to rebel against the government.

It would be interesting to see a case analyzing whether Levin and Fox are committing sedition by encouraging state legislators to overthrow the will of the people and to prevent the legal certification of the votes cast in a state. I would think the legislators who did such a thing would be guilty of sedition against government. Perhaps we need a DOJ public opinion issued before the 2022 elections.
