#1 I seem to remember someone saying "the flak is heaviest over the target."

#2 Examine those baseless claims and prove them false. Then you end it all and restore faith in the electoral system.

Dodging the issue entirely looks like a bunch of cowards that know it happened and don't want to get involved.

#3 The Constitution is explicit -

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

That was not done in Pennsylvania. The manner of selection was done by the Executive and ratified by the Judiciary of the state in direct violation of that. Thus it is valid and not a baseless claim.

#4 One of the curious things about this fire sale, is the Supreme Court most wonted not grabbing power for itself by means of a show trial.

"Do you not want to at least take the field to increase your price?!"

#5 There was plenty of basis, but a very strange lack of interest in an investigation.

#6 SCOTUS does not say it is inadmissible, they say it is MOOT. I read this as 'if i stole but had already spent the money' then, by this court, it is moot and therefore there is not a crime.

#7 "If I killed someone, and he's dead. Then it's MOOT and I didn't commit a crime."

Liberal logic on steroids.

#8 So now they're going after Thomas' wife after she supported Stop the Steal, since they presume she forced her opinion on him. Dems haven't figured out that unlike the Asterisk President, his wife doesn't tell him what his opinions are.
