    I guess it's time to start a thread for this. We know that at least 140 members of Congress have pledged to join the objection. Under federal law, if at least one member of each house (HOR and Senate) objects, each house will adjourn the joint session for their own session (limited at two hours) to take up the objection. If both houses pass a resolution objecting to the EC result, further action can take place. If both houses do not (i.e. if one or neither passes a resolution), the objection is powerless and the college result is certified.

    Clearly this is political theater as we know such a resolution will not pass the House, and there's good reason to think it wouldn't pass the Senate either (with or without the two senators from Georgia). The January 6 joint session is traditionally a ceremonial one. This one will not be.

    Many traditional pillars of Republican support have condemned the plan as futile and damaging. Certainly the Trump loyalists don't care - and many are likely doing it for fundraising purposes or to carry weight with the fraction of their constituencies that think this is a good idea.


     
    Forgive me for still being divisive, but it pisses me off to see these enablers going about trying to be all kind and "bipartisan" after finally seeing the monster they created by standing silent for 4 years...Fork em all.

    Exactly Graham ends with "Biden and Harris will be Pres and VP Jan 20"

    Fork you. Had 60 days to say this and you wait til blood spilled

    It’s difficult to hear them all (CNN) but I believe both Louisiana senators voted aye. I wish I were shocked but here we are

    Yep. There have been plenty of opportunities to shut this shirt down for a while now. Too little too late. But get this thing overwith. The country can't take any more of this.
     
    Definitely heard one out of the newest asshat that thinks the WH, Senate, and House are the three branches of government.
     
    I bet this vote ends 97-3(Cruz Hawley and Tuberville)

    Those three are like the pack of theives that rob a place and are late to the car and the car speeds off as police arrive.

    This should sink their political careers moving fwd.

    Looked like the clerk counted four votes so I'm thinking 96-4.

    I was watching the vote lady hand... If aye it went to her left.

    But I didn't hear Kennedy nor Scalise and see her hand so maybe 2 more
