In reply to the discussion: Mike Pence Cannot Block the Certification of Joe Biden's Victory When the Senate Formally Counts [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,173 posts)Is there written in law somewhere that if Pence says what you wrote above that he'd say, and declares fraud, would it follow that if he did that, and banged the gavel to close the session, that Grassley was backed by law, or written into the Constitution, a requirement that Grassley run up to the mic and say "no no no....its not adjourned.....I will do the the ratification, despite the VP's statement"?
I don't think, in the end, it would work, but perhaps it would drag it out for a few days, while they figured out what to do. During which OANN and NewMax maybe even a few at Fox would start celebrating. Rile up the red hats even more by getting their hopes up. Make them even more bitter and angry when a few days later Democrats or the courts find a way to get through it and ratify the results.
They could definitely use that little stunt to help keep alive the notion that Biden won illegally, and Pence bravely tried to reverse it. But Democrats, and the evil deep state, and activist judges, made sure that Pence was slapped down and installed Biden anyways.
