Nobody forced an emergency session. both chambers were called back to order in order to complete the business at hand... and they did. They debated the objection and voted on it. As to your question, perhaps a handful more of congressmen and senators may very well have voted to not certify had the insurrection not occurred, but not 42 more senators and not 80 more congressmen.Majik » 30 May 2023, 12:09 pm » wrote: ↑ My question is would they have voted differently if the events of Jan.6th did not occur ....forcing an emergency session ?
Now, remember every one of those members of both chambers were under "extreme" duress that day and Pelosi forcing an emergency session probably added to their duress which made them vote to certify and get the proceedings over with ASAP.
So, what do we know about that day....in hindsight.
Well, for starters....
We now know that Trump did warn Pelosi days prior to beef up security at the capital and that she refused because of optics ....
We now know that under cover agents were embedded in the crowd dressed like MAGA supporters ....
We now know that The FBI months prior infiltrated the Proud Boys ...
We now know that members of the Capital police did indeed open some doors to allow protesters in while the mob outside was trying to breach the windows and did breach through the windows.
We know that a trigger happy capital police officer shot and killed an unarmed protester ...
We know that two pipe bombs with remote detonators were placed at the DNC and RNC headquarters. ...the night before.
Now, keep the scenario in mind....
what does this tell us....

Ashli Babbitt got exactly what she deserved. She was breaking through a window in a barrier, behind which was an armed capitol security officer, LT Byrd, standing in a doorway. Behind that door were members of Congress and, reportedly, the VP himself. Byrd ordered the crowd to cease their attempts to break through the barrier. When Ashlii ignored the orders of an armed LEO and was halfway through the broken window, as a last resort, he shot her. Stupid bitch should have stayed home instead of joining a lynch mob. I hope she is burning in Hell.
I don't waste too much time on asinine questions, ducky.

You do realize that the head of the oath keepers is going to prison for 18 years for his part in the seditious insurrection, don't you?

Just sedition, which is twice as bad according to the penal code.

Your specious argument is tantamount to saying, "ok... so folks were convicted of murder, but was anyone charged with manslaughter?"
Babbitt got exactly what she deserved. You shouldn't disobey an armed LEO as you are breaking a window to climb through. She should have stayed home.FJB » 31 May 2023, 11:18 am » wrote: ↑ You poor liberal asshole.... meanwhile the **** nigga Byrd gets away with murder
