So this #PenceCard nonsense looks like it was started by @Raiklin with this tweet

The argument seems to be that Pence could have decided that electors from certain states were "impermissible" because he "is the sole plenary power" to determine that

Further, the argument goes, that under his authority to demand that states send him a list of electors if they have failed to do so, Pence could reject the list of electors as "impermissible" and demand that they send him a correct list

The only statutory authority cited by Raiklin is 3 USC 12

All it does is give Pence the authority to demand a state send him a certificate of electoral votes if they have not done so

Borders are bad except when they are around your home which you can’t leave now you’re welcome

Stay home for Christmas but if you need to fly to London whatever

Few people have done more damage to the Republic than Marc Elias

Weakening election integrity measures in such a polarized political climate was - and should have been seen as - clearly immoral

Almost every other first-world country runs their elections in a manner where their integrity is beyond question

We could do that and we do not

Not to mention that Elias was the guy who hired Christopher Steele

He spent three years spreading misinformation to delegitimize the 2016 election results, and then one more to undermine confidence in the 2020 election

People who are hating on Bill Barr should head over to liberal Twitter and see what they think of the man

Within the constraints of his position and the longstanding policies of the department he runs, Barr has done a ton of good for Trump personally and for the conservative cause more broadly

Barr doesn't run a star chamber, he can't just snap his fingers and jail people

He's also not a magician, he can't simply wave his hand and overturn the election results

He's de-politicized DOJ, which is what was badly needed

I've never seen anything like this

So, quick take based on reading the opinion:

Kline basically went AWOL on the litigation, his lawyers stopped representing him because he wasn't talking to them, and Kline completely failed to comply with his discovery obligations

This is the end result

The adverse inferences are devastating

In short - if this goes to trial, the judge will instruct the jury to ASSUME AS TRUE that Kline conspired to engage in racially-motivated violence
