They need cases first, and while the Trumpers may have an armada of lawyers, it seems as if they all got their law degrees from Cracker Jack boxes.

Collins et al insisted he'd learned his lesson.

And, apparently he had and was emboldened by their leniency.

Now, we may be stuck with Collins for six more years.

I mean, obviously they're going to do it, corruption is in their DNA, but the least they could do would be to TRY to hide it a little. Doing it this out in the open is just disrespectful.

...because, even though that's blatantly unconstitutional, it would lock in the Biden win, 270-268.

"Come through," SCOTUS!
