The Electoral College done voted. Legislativley, Congress cant do dick until AFTER he's sworn in now. It's not like the FBI is gonna go and arrest him...maybe the EC can attempt a revote, but that will certinaly require a suit to be filed, and no way in hell the SC is going to insert itself into this unless the Constitutional basis for doing so is rock-fucking-solid (not after Florida). I suppose yes he could be sowrn in and then immediatly be brought up on impeachment charges, but since that would originate in the House, that doesnt seem likley. Were stuck with this, regardless of how much of a treasonous asshole we now KNOW him to be.
