This headline just up “17 States tell Supreme Court they reverse Biden win” as “Breaking News” on CNBC here:
Seventeen states on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that they support an effort by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to sue to effectively reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s projected win in the Electoral College.
The filing by the states came a day after Paxton asked the Supreme Court for permission to sue Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin over their election results, which Biden won in all instances.
The states backing Paxton’s effort are Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.
Surpise, Rethuglican leglistaures want to overturn a Democrtic presidential win. This has gone beyond any sense of silence to full throated fascist collaboration. At some point, the DNC and the new administration must stand up for democracy and pursue the impact of foreign money on US politics. There, I said it. I believe way too many Rethuglican legislators have taken foreign money (via the NRA) and are compromised and are now being told go all in or we expose you.
If that isn’t the case, then they are just home grown fascists — still need to be cut off at the knees since we missed the chance almost 40 years ago (see Iran Contra) to nip it in the bud.
