Tomorrow is January 6th. It is among other things a day when there is to occur a very routine procedure in the Congress of the United States. The Senate formally counts and accepts the Electoral College's votes. It's been this way since 1790 when the United States adopted the constitution.
Not this year. This year 12 republican senators and the sitting Vice President plan to challenge the results of the Electoral College. The challenge will only result in some confusion and a slight delay in the inevitable, i.e. Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris will be officially president and vice president elects to be sworn in in two weeks.
It is my considered opinion that the actions of those 12 senators and the Vice president are tantamount to treason. It is a concerted effort to undermine the Constitution and as a result nullify a legal and legitimate election.
All of this is being done out of self interest. Those 12 senators have their eyes on 2024 and they're betting Donald Trump will still be a powerful influence in the republican party. They don't care one wit about their country or the democratic process.
The hell of it is there are a significant number of ordinary Americans who not only don't care, they applaud their efforts.
How low we've become as a nation. God help Biden and Harris. They have an enormous job ahead of them. Let's help them pull it off.
The following post was taken from Facebook. I couldn't have said it better myself so I'm posting it here. I don't know who authored it so unfortunately I can't credit the person.
