Rep. Will Hurd @HurdOnTheHill

When I was undercover at the CIA, I saw firsthand how our enemies steal elections and try to interfere in ours. Elected officials continuing to sow doubt amongst the public for petty political gain is playing into our enemies hands.

Paul Mitchell @RepPaulMitchell

The only name that shocks me on this list is ⁦@SenatorLankford. Most of these Senators know there is no basis for this challenge but rather are “representing concerns of their constituents” while they pander to Trump base. 1/6 will be a circus.

Circus OK as long as all the acts come off, that is, the certification vote is completed according to law. If someone is trampled by the elephants and everyone flees in panic, not good.

This is absolutely appalling. To every member of Congress considering objecting to the election results, you cannot- in light of this- do so with a clean conscience. #RestoreOurGOP

I hope I'm wrong. I really really hope, but I'm getting a bad feeling about the upcoming transition to the Biden & Harris administration. What will Donny stop at to remain in power? In four years he has faced few consequences for his actions. Largely because of the Repubs in Congress and appointees in key positions. Why should he do the right thing now? Who would act to stop him? In his refusal to concede defeat in the election the majority of Republicans are OK with him trying to remain in office. How far will he go?

There is no moral limit. There are limits, Trump lacks courage and organizational ability, and highly capable people reject his leadership and work against him. So his minions tend to be dweebs. I don't think he has anything like the cunning and personal effectiveness Hitler did in his prime. All this means his plots will be opposed and can be beaten. But a lot will be on the line Wed that should not be on the line. I'm pretty sure there will be an attempt to disrupt things at the Capitol enough to prevent the certification vote from happening.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee - a Trump ally who helped to lead his impeachment strategy - is sending around a letter to senators expressing his opposition to the electoral college objection

LEE: "With respect to presidential elections, there is no authority for Congress to make value judgments in the abstract regarding any state’s election laws or the manner in which they have been implemented."

COTTON - a staunch Trump ally - says he's opposing the objection to the electoral college

Cotton: "The Founders entrusted our elections chiefly to the states—not Congress. They entrusted the election of our president to the people, acting through the Electoral College—not Congress. And they entrusted the adjudication of election disputes to the courts—not Congress."
