1. I have not "obtained" a copy of Liz Cheney's statement, nor did I tape a conversation with the president and leak it to the W Post as someone in the GA sec of state's office did,
2. but my view has nothing to do with what Trump-hating Cheney is proclaiming or the terrible GA sec of state is now doing. It has nothing to do with what Ken Buck and his little group are saying, or this Republican or that Republican is warning in defense of inaction.
3. For me, it is pretty basic. The electoral process was undermined in several key states by the Democrats -- specifically, Art. 2, Sec. 1, Cl. 2. After their 2016 defeat, the Democrats, their lawyers, and their surrogates succeeded in changing election laws without the backing
4. of certain key state legislatures and, in several cases, against their will. The Republican state legislatures in several battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia, found their exclusive authority undermined by Democrat executive officials,
5. courts, and even some Republicans in executive authority. The Republicans declaring they are righteously standing for the Constitution or the states or democracy or what have you by refusing to stand up on Jan. 6
6. and at least speak out against what has happened, and insist it must never happen again, are contributing to the unraveling the the constitutional electoral college process, which they claim to defend.
7. And Republican voters should take notes and remember, in the next election cycle, who should be replaced. This is one of those times in our lives and in nation's history when the failure of public officials to act truly matters.
