Maniac64 posted... What does that one do?Amends the ancient Electoral Count Act which was key to Trump's "Pence can just declare me the winner" plan for 1/6. More specifically: It makes it explicitly clear that the VP's role in the joint session is ceremonial and they can't just overturn the election. It raises the threshold needed for an objection to a state's electors. Previously you just need 1 person in the House and Senate. Moved up to 1/3 of each. Seeing articles saying it also address state legislatures from trying to go back and overturn the results of their popular vote. I've been skimming the bill text and I think it's too arcane for me to place exactly where it does - there's a section mentioning it's striking the whole "safe harbor" thing but I dunno if there's more scattered throughout. --- May you find your book in this place.

LordoftheMorons posted... Oh whoops actually that summary is of Collins' Senate bill; not sure if there are significant differences with the House bill or notI think the threshold for objection is different. As far as I can tell the House bill says an objection requires 1/3 to proceed. Your twitter thread explainer says 30% so I dunno if they amended it, if I'm looking at the wrong section, or it's a goof but either way it's a lot harder to drag it out with spurious challenges. Otherwise I think they're pretty similar. --- May you find your book in this place. Formerly known as xp1337. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Additionally, the bill identifies each state's governor (unless otherwise identified in the laws or constitution of a state in effect on election day) as responsible for submitting the certificate of ascertainment identifying the state's electors. Well, that sounds like it's headed to SCOTUS for a constitutionality review. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...

The problem is increasing supreme court justices is at best a bandaid solution and is at worst a tourniquet If anyone here thinks conservatives are going to say "aw shucks" and drop the issue if we increase the number of supreme court justices I have some NFT's to sell you The only way I possibly see it working is if the constitution is amended to specify the number of justices at a higher number which will A.

Absolutely no to packing the Supreme Court. Keep it at 9. Liberals need to abide by the law. If you don't like the law, follow the constitutional process to change the law, and if you don't like the judging, follow the legal process for appointing judges (you need to win presidential and senatorial elections). --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...

If we have to amend the Constitution to expand SCOTUS anyway, I'd think it'd be more useful to fix the lifetime appointment system. It's just wrong that the balance of the court comes down to who has the bad luck to die of old age while the wrong president is in office. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! ...
