Oh shit. I just realized something that is 1000% percent coming if she wins the election. They’re going to sue to deligitimize the election when Kamala Harris as VP oversees the confirmation of the electors that she, Kamala Harris the President Elect, received becuase it “clearly biased/fraudulent/illegal” to perform her duties as VP to confirm her own election. I have zero doubt in my mind that this will happen.
Yeah they constantly go “you can’t do that.” And then they turn around and instantly do that thing.
Another one they do is “This person will do this, this and this in this scenario.” And that person doesn’t do it but it turns out the one accusing them of it did it previously or is planning to do it.
Republicans shouldn’t ever be taken seriously anymore.
They can try, but an update to the law has since been passed to make totally clear the vice presidential role is purely ceremonial and that they have no power to challenge or alter the proceedings in any way.
I expect like you say they’ll still make a big public stink and file some frivolous suits about it though like it’s a real issue when it’s not to rile people up though. And totally ignoring the other times this has happened before, like Reagan to George HW Bush.

Wasn’t a problem for GHWB.
Since when has precedent mattered to them? Or the current SCOTUS?

It’s always projection. A GOP accusation is almost admission at this point
Oh, they should definitely be taken seriously. They just shouldn’t be taken at their word.

Isn’t there precedent for that though?
Then again they don’t seem to care
There is and they don’t
There is and we don’t care too. They can f*** off with that bs and so can SCOTUS
