I do not see how anything going to SCOTUS does anything at the state level. State legislatures still have Article II power: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.At this point I have a feeling the only hope is this going to the Supreme Court and from that sent to the House for a vote. That path looks doable. Time is in the essence. Overturning PA would not be enough would still need several different combinations of GA, MI, NV & WI to be over turned too.
Assuming the Dems know Trump will ultimately prevail - have they already drawn up the papers for impeachment? I wonder what they are going to try to pin on him this time?

So, at most, SCOTUS tells the states that their pre-election law changes are unconstitutional and simply tells the state legislatures to do their job.
Does anybody really believe that in this day and age of doxxing and threats of violence from the Left that any state legislature will assign electors for Trump when Biden was "certified" as the winner of the state? Those legislators would need years of armed personal protection thereafter. If the legislators do nothing, and allow the election to go to the House of Representatives, they will suffer the same fate is if they assigned Trump electors.
I fear that the Heckler's Veto will win the day.
It's not a matter of giving up. I always say: Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.Hmmm..... so give up. no sir, I have a glimmer of hope on the paths available.... a glimmer!

If we don't see a lot of powerful Democrat figures ruined by their involvement in election fraud, we'll be done in 2022 when Dems win control of the Senate. With the FBI & DOJ being actively inactive, who is going to do it?
I've said this numerous times here already.
Trump will suspend the writ of habeas corpus. This will give him the power to arrest treasonous players in this disgusting game they are playing. Because to all of them this is a game. Their game and their rules.
The scope of the arrests will be so incredible the entire makeup of Congress will be changed. This will be Trump's day of reckoning.
They've done everything they could do over the last five years to destroy this man. He is going to do everything in his legal power to return the favor and destroy each and every one of them. Keep in mind, everything he's doing now is to the letter of the Constitution. They've destroyed his name, his reputation, his friendships, his wealth, and his presidential standing (so far). Believe me, he will be the one who laughs last.
I don't think it's clear that Trump actually has power to suspend Habeas Corpus and even if he did wouldn't that make him a tyrant? Not sure how suspending our constitutional protections would ever be a good thing.
So suspend constitutional protections and go after your political opponents and detain them unlawfully and indefinitely got it. Sounds more like a banana republic to me. If he has the evidence to arrest them lawfully why the need to suspend habeas corpus?Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. And apparently Bush did after 9/11. There is precedence. And quite frankly, what the left establishment attempted under the guise of an impeachment Trump couldn't care less what half the country thinks. The other half voted for him and is supportive.

this guy is a plant folks .... The left needs cover and now they can say look how conservatives cheat ...
This is a national security emergency. Trump has the right and the duty to protect the country from bad actors, foreign and domestic. Completely lawful even if less than desirable.So suspend constitutional protections and go after your political opponents and detain them unlawfully and indefinitely got it.

I agree with you that the entire system seems corrupt. I don't know how to fix it but either way 1/2 the country will be disenfranchised with the result. Civil War II seems inevitable.
Let's assume you are correct in both the fact the election fraud was rampant and that trump does what you proscribe. I seriously doubt anyone could foresee all the unintented consequences of that action. First all the major media outlets would be against it and would be blaring about how trump is a dictator 24/7. So what does he do next? Shut down the media and become the dictator they all claimed he would be? I sympathize with your position but the downside is too great.I've said this numerous times here already.

Their treason will be shown in planning all this. And it is Treason! We see shit getting tossed from the courts all the time that we all know should be ruled on...Safe Act??So suspend constitutional protections and go after your political opponents and detain them unlawfully and indefinitely got it.

Constitution is pretty clear Habeas Corpus may only be suspended in times of Rebellion or invasion for public safety. Rebellion? Maybe, certainly Lincoln had a better case to make with Americans actually shooting at each other. Invasion? Probably not. But it's not clear who actually holds the power to suspend it. The president or congress? Certainly there were other times in US history where it has been suspended eg detention of Japanese Americans during WWII, riots during 1960s but in those cases it had support of both executive and legislative branches. I personally feel Trump is on much shakier grounds now. I also feel whatever action is taken it should be above board, legal and beyond reproach rather than doing an end run around the Constitution. My $0.02.Not acting properly and doing the right thing because of fear of the response is total BS. What is the state motto in New Hampshire? If righting the ship leads to those who bought into the cheating and those who are too ignorant enough to know better causing mayhem, hit them back twice as hard. Law and order and not living in fear. We either deal with this now or at some point in the future. So tired of the pussyfooting around done by some in this country. I am tired of worrying about what people think. I am tired of cowering to those who are lawless and follow the herd. I am tired of losing freedom. I am tired of the scamdemic. I am tired of the left and the right. I am tired of apologizing for wanting to follow the constitution. I am tired of the political elite. I am tired of being nice. I didn't start this BS. This was a coordinated effort to steal America away from those who believe in the principles this country was founded on. I am tired of not being left alone. Time to right the ship NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF.
I was referring to either having the house or supreme court resolve the issue of fraud. Politicians can't act based on how they may fear the public will respond as long as they are within their rights.Constitution is pretty clear Habeas Corpus may only be suspended in times of Rebellion or invasion for public safety.
