7. Kentuck, remember a DUer, Starfishsaver?

He/she claimed to be a Constitutional scholar. I disagreed a lot with Starfishsaver, but he/she was right about one thing, the 1/6 session of Congress to count the Electoral college votes was just a formality, the election had already been certified by the states.

With that thought in mind, what Trump, Lee, Roy, Meadows, Trump's lawyers were doing, scheming to overturn the election was illegal, was against the Constitution.

The Putin party realizes that mistake, the next time they will overturn the results of elections at the state level before the votes are certified. Not one of the coup planners has been held accountable, 1/6 was just practice for the next election.
