On what basis? Pence says the EVs are out of order, SCOTUS has zero power to say otherwise. They can say the VP doesn't have authority to do this, but if the VP continues, it means no one gets the majority of EVs, we go to the House.What they were planning is irrelevant. The SCOTUS declared the election final in 2000 when there were acknowledge legitimate concerns about the outcome Florida. No way in hell they would allow an election that had no question whatsoever be overturned because a fool refused to perform his ceremonial duty.um, no, the plan was to throw it to the House of Reps to decide--the Supremes would have gone along with that, I think.Li'l Donnie had a really bad week. In yet another court loss the judge said that Trump's speech to the rioters on Jan. 6 "is the essence of civil conspiracy."
The funny thing is, even if the rioters had been successful in stopping the certification, the Biden campaign would have sued and the courts would have confirmed Biden as president anyway. That's the great thing about having three branches of government. The mass stupidity of the Trumpers is surpassed only by the stupidity of Trump himself.
I don't think this ever gets to the Court.The Trumpsters lost 60 court cases for a reason. They would not win this one.
It would go straight to the SCOTUS on the basis that Pence had no constitutional right say that the EVs are out of order (something that Pence himself ultimately concluded). It went to the SCOTUS in 2000. I'm honestly surprised that people think it would not have in this case. There is a third branch of the government for exactly these types of situations. They wouldn't sit by idly while the election was stolen.
