“The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.”
Of particular note relative to 6 January 2021:
“And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.”
Former President Donald Trump made it clear many months before the Election of 2020 that he had no intention of following the Constitution in the expected event that he didn’t receive the most votes of the Electors following the 3 November 2020 Election. Anyone who supported Trump from those early months forward, either actively or passively, is culpable for the undeniable violations of the Constitution committed at the direction of Trump by his followers on 6 January 2021.
This brings me to current and former members of our Military who are celebrating Veterans Day because they have taken an oath that states, “I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” If you find yourself among those who supported Trump from that early point forward, either actively or passively, then you have violated that oath, you have failed to defend the Constitution, and you have failed me and all others who still follow our oaths and continue to support that oath by trying to undo the irreparable damage you have done through your actions or inactions. If there is any Justice in life for you, then I hope to see you one day soon in the Hell you’ve put me in.
Happy Veterans Day to those who truly serve the Constitution of the United States.
