Mark Levin Show: The 2020 presidential election was, in several targeted battleground states, an unconstitutional electoral exercise. Even putting aside evidence of significant fraud, virtually none of which received a hearing by our courts, events leading up to and including the November national election constituted a radical and grave departure from the federal electoral system adopted by the framers of the Constitution and the state ratification conventions. Now, let’s be clear: None of this matters to the Democrat Party, since it and its surrogates perpetrated these unconstitutional acts, as I shall soon explain. Nor does it matter to the media, which is utterly illiterate on the subject and unequivocally supports the supposed outcome in any event. But it should be of great moment and concern to the people of this country and especially to congressional Republicans in both Houses, for if the latter do not at least confront and challenge this lawlessness on January 6, when Congress meets to count the electors, it will be the GOP’s undoing and, simultaneously, the undoing of our presidential electoral system. Ultimately, it will be the people of the United States who love our republic who will be the losers.
Win, lose, or draw, on January 6, the Republicans must not act as if “the people have spoken” and be cowered into passivity or worse, such as joining the Democrat Party and media hecklers, by insisting that they are part of a lawless party seeking to “reverse the results of the election.” Too many Republicans have already buckled, including the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, Sen. John Thune, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger. No doubt others who are unreliable and cowardly when facing the organized mob will follow. But let us not be judged by those who have intentionally and strategically manipulated our politics and the law to undermine our constitutional order. It is they who must be condemned.
Specifically, Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the federal Constitution could not be more explicit. It states, in pertinent part: “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 …” This language was purposeful. During the Constitutional Convention, there were various proposals suggested for electing a president. Should the president be directly elected by the people? That proposal was rejected out of concern that such a purely democratic process could be hijacked by a temporary majority. Should the president be chosen in the first instance from within the national legislature? That proposal was also rejected on grounds of separation of powers. Should the judiciary play a role in the selection of the president? That idea was dispensed with as being the most objectionable, as judges were to be the least political of all public officials. The framers deliberatively and with much thought created the Electoral College process, in which the people and their elected legislatures — both state and national — would play important roles. But the electoral process rested first and foremost on the state legislatures directing how the electors would be chosen. The reason: While rejecting the direct election of a president, the framers concluded that the state legislatures were closest to the people in their respective states and would be the best representatives of their interests. At no time did the framers even raise the possibility that governors, attorneys general, secretaries of state, election boards, administrators, etc., would play any significant role in the electoral process. Indeed, certain of those offices did not even exist. Moreover, as I said, the courts were rejected out of hand. Thus, such an important power was to be exercised exclusively by the state legislatures. read more
“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 …”
Isn’t that what happened?
If not, who appointed the electors?
People need to seek out the main stream media- not these hysterical men in evening gowns who call themselves the main stream media. Those traitorous fruitcakes need to be killed. The information is plain for all to see and those who see it are likely outraged. The enemies of liberty will get their just desserts
These anti Trump Republicans are really just pro life democrats, look at their policies…
John Kasich is a good example. He will NEVER be president and he doesn’t know it… He doesn’t know that leftist liberal can NEVER let go, so they’ll never vote for him. Likewise, they’re burn the bridges to the GOP base. They’re leftovers and holdover of olden times gone by.
Liberal “leaders” of GOP have not cared about Constitution for 30 years. 2 leftist leaders now care not! Names: Kevin, Mitch!
Anonymous: That is not what happened. In several states the election process departed from the course set by state law, established by the legislatures. The electors from those states were not chosen in a manner dictated by law. If Congress decides to ignore that fact and approves the results, they will be endorsing for the future the creation of ad hoc, results-based elections in every state. Although the Supreme Court chooses to ignore their duty as the arbiter of constitutionality, doing so does not make what happened in those several states constitutional.,but rather post-constitutional. Going forward it will not matter if the Court is expanded because the current 9 member panel has shown itself to be cast with feet of clay.
“Anonymous: That is not what happened. In several states the election process departed from the course set by state law, established by the legislatures. ”
So if it wasn’t the legislatures that appointed the electors then who did?
The States are given exclusive jurisdiction over the process, so anything going astray would have to be dealt with on that level barring existing legislation passed by Congress setting stipulations on it (i.e. voting rights and ages).
The RNC keeps calling and asking me for money…I keep telling them to denounce the Anti-Trumpers…
they have no response and I tell them not to call back until Micturtle passes a $2000 stimulus bill.
If the economy was open, there would be no need for a stimulus or the one before that!
This stimulus is nothing but a get richer scam by the corrupt political class!
The fix is in. Every station here in Ohio says the COVID end is near. Hmmm. January 6th? Biden is in and all scare tactics are off. Praise the Biden crime family!
“I, for one, welcome our commie overlords.”

To ask the question is to answer it.
There is no quit in Commiecrats.
There is no start in Republicrats.
Sorry Mark, far to many uniparty republicans will not vote to contest the election.
