How is the oath of office enforced? [View all]

Why have we not tried bringing ALL THOSE who voted not to certify the election into court to assert that they have failed to uphold their oath of office and need to be sent home? ALL OF THEM. The "reasonable person" standard says there was no evidence of fraud. Surely there is SOME enforcement mechanism for the oath, and surely voting not to certify given no evidence is a violation of it. Why have we not tried this simple solution to the problem? Seems to me if it works we get a lot of control over congress for a few months at least. And MAYBE we can discourage future such behavior. We are not doing that now. What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Why?
