      There was a window to bar him from office using a technique like this and it was before the election.

      Unless the theory is something substantial changed between 11/5 and now this is an absolutely awful idea.

          In a perfect world, yes, justice rules supreme for everyone.

          In our actual world, if congress overturned the election (which is exactly what it would be), you think the already frothing at the mouth far right wouldn’t go apeshit? Imagine if the far right overturned a democraticly elected Democrat. We would lose our shit.

          I am all for using every law and policy available to stop fascists. Overturning a seemingly fair election outcome, where the president elect was voted in by electorate AND popular vote is NOT one of those ways.

            If there was a Democrat who did what Trump did, I’d not hesitate to enforce the law because I was afraid of the consequences.
