No matter how long the trial is delayed the evidence and facts will not change.
On Dec 14 as mandated by the constitution all fifty states assembled electors as provided by state laws and certified the results. It was all over. Finished.
The crime was Trump ginning up fake electors,
That’s so illegal, and so crazy, it’s never happened before.
What if Biden tries the same thing, and then has Kamala Harris gavel him in the winner of a lost election?
The Constitution doesn't mandate December 14.
2nd slates of electors are not illegal. In fact there are Federal laws to deal with that happening.
You really need to educate yourself. But if you did that, you wouldn't be a liberal, would you?Objections at that meeting about electors will be settled using a process established by the Electoral Count Act of 1887. The law has its origins in the contested presidential election of 1876 between Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes. Several states during the 1876 election sent rival electoral ballots to be considered by Congress, which lacked a procedure to decide among contested slates of electors. The short-term solution was a special 15-person commission (including five House Representatives, five Senators, and five Supreme Court justices) to decide the election, which went to Hayes. In the end, the participating Supreme Court justices cast the deciding votes, after the House and Senate members voted on party lines.
The Electoral Count Act of 1887 and several federal statutes address questions about contested electors that land in Congress. The Congressional Research Service’s
current interpretation of the Electoral Count Act explains its understanding of the process when it comes to objections to electoral votes.“Objections to individual state returns must be made in writing by at least one Member each of the Senate and House of Representatives.
If an objection meets these requirements, the joint session recesses and the two houses separate and debate the question in their respective chambers for a maximum of two hours,” the CRS said. “The two houses then vote separately to accept or reject the objection. They then reassemble in joint session, and announce the results of their respective votes. An objection to a state’s electoral vote must be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded.”
