Just so I understand the pence suit correctly:
Trump has asked pence to flip the country the bird and accept the fake electors that were fraudulently selected in some states.
Pence says he can’t.
this suit isn’t trying to make him do so, it’s trying to make the court tell him he has the ability?
so that they can then lean hard on him and make him choose.
Does anyone know if the circus on January 6 will be televised?

The Gohmert suit is as silly as the Plaintiff's name would indicate. Leaving aside the obvious questions about standing, whether there is an actual "case or controversy", etc., the argument in the Complaint is that there is a conflict between the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act concerning the method of resolving objections. Specifically, the Complaint asserts that the ECA "limits or eliminates [Pence's] exclusive authority and sole discretion under the Twelfth Amendment to determine which slates of electors for a State, or neither, may be counted; and replaces the Twelfth Amendment’s dispute resolution procedure – under which the House of Representatives has sole authority to choose the President." In other words, Gohmert is arguing that Pence, as President of the Senate has almost unbridled authority to conduct the voting process on Jan. 6, and by creating a structure for resolving disputes, the ECA impinges on that authority. The basic premise of that argument is that Pence does in fact have such authority.
All the 12th Amendment says is: "The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates [of the elector's votes] and the votes shall then be counted." This is a perfunctory duty - open the certificates and count the votes. There is not one word in the Constitution about objections to electors, how the objections must be lodged, or how objections are to be resolved. No additional authority is given to the VP to do anything but open the certificates and count the votes.
By arguing that the ECA resolution dispute process is unconstitutional, there must be an assumption that objections are allowed in the first place. The Constitution does not provide for objections; that right is only granted by the ECA itself. The internal inconsistency in the logic is staggering. Gohmert, et al are arguing that Congress has the power to create a mechanism for lodging objections (not found in the Constitution) but not the power to set up a process for resolving the objections. The VP's duty to open the certificates and count the votes is being construed as absolute authority to do whatever he pleases. So much for strict construction. If the ECA is unconstitutional, then arguable there is no right to object at all.
Only the electors selected by the various states, in the manner determined by their legislatures, can have their votes opened and counted. Those electors are the ones certified by the states - not the ones determined by Pence.

I hadn't thought of Carol Wayne in years. Googled her to find out what had become of her. She drowned while on vacation in Mexico in 1985. I had no idea. Got into an argument with her boyfriend, went for a walk on the beach, and disappeared. Her body was found a few days later by fisherman.
Dotard are you listening?

Damn, I had to do a search for that name. Hard to believe I never heard that before. But the word cuntburger is definitely a perfect title for our AG.
It works for Dan Patrick too.

It's hard to overlook a team that last won a conference championship in 1998.

Is it too much to hope that Ash will be our interim head coach for this game?

I do remember being disappointed we did not dismantle OSU. We scored late to win.
If I remember right, OSU played slow- down ball control all night with Beanie Wells. I think every Texas possession started inside our 25.

Yep. Cue the "didn't want to be there" excuse.

I'd put OSU on skull fucking alert. They're going to speed for the first time. Not the plodding B10 crap.
If Fields doesn't play better than he did yesterday, it might get ugly.

I haven't read this entire thread, and I'm not going to. I'll just say this - With about a minute left ISU had the ball about 35 yards away from a TD to win the Big 12. With the game and conference championship on the line, they then did the following:
- False start
- False start
- Total confusion getting the next play and formation called, leading to a
- Rushed snap to beat the play clock (rather than take a timeout), all ending in a
- Fucked up play and a throw-it-up-in-the-air interception to end the game
If Texas did what ISU did, we would be screaming about lack of preparation and bad coaching.

Just think where those numbers would be if we had decent (instead of marginal) coaching for the last 2 decades.
Yeah, I remember during the midst of the Mack Brown era, when 10 win seasons were a floor, there was speculation that we would overtake Michigan for most all time wins by the end of the decade.

I still like the idea of diverting the plane to NY. Does the NY AG there already have charges ready to go? Be a lot cooler if she did.
