The Constitution has an answer for seditious members of Congress

‘An Indelible Stain’: How the G.O.P. Tried to Topple a Pillar of Democracy
The Supreme Court repudiation of President Trump was also a blunt rebuke to Republican leaders who had put their interests ahead of the country’s.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/12/u...l-college.html

“The act itself by the 126 members of the United States House of Representatives, is an affront to the country,” said Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee. “It’s an offense to the Constitution and it leaves an indelible stain that will be hard for these 126 members to wipe off their political skin for a long time to come.”

Speaking on CNN on Friday, Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, a Republican, said, “What happened with the Supreme Court, that’s kind of it, where they’ve kind of exhausted all the legal challenges; we’ve got to move on.” It was time, he said, for Congress to “actually do something for the American people, surrounding the vaccines, surrounding Covid.”

With direct buy-in from senior officials like Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and the Republican leader in House, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the president’s effort required the party to promote false theory upon unsubstantiated claim upon outright lie about unproved, widespread fraud — in an election that Republican and Democratic election officials agreed was notably smooth given the challenges of the pandemic.

And it meant that Republican leaders now stand for a new notion: that the final decisions of voters can be challenged without a basis in fact if the results are not to the liking of the losing side, running counter to decades of work by the United States to convince developing nations that peaceful transfers of power are key to any freely elected government’s credibility.

Yes, There would be funny things happening if the big divorce were to happen. It would be pretty messy. Most states are not very purely red or blue.

Let #DiaperDon bring up the subject and a whole bunch of the cult would be all for it. Just tell 'em Donny would be president for life and there'll be no Dems and they'd be all in.

Are you saying you would not be on board?

Any sort of 'maybe' means yes you would be. Don't kid yourself. If you're not against it, you'd go along with it.

My guess is upwards of 70% of trump voters would be OK with the election being overturned by unconstitutional means, rising to near 100% if the move is viewed as 'successful.'

Fewer would go for splitting up the country, especially those who think their home would be on the wrong side of the split,

No, I would not be on board with Trump as president for life.

As far as the election "overturned" if done in a legal way sure, but then that is trumps last term.

Pretty sure many who voted for Trump feel this way.
