1. well...it's getting kinda late, eh? Either do it or not

[brooklynite]

2. Not clear what the legal argument would be...

[Thekaspervote]

7. Exactly. Lawrence Tribe on with O'Donnell said there really is no law to which Biden can take

Legal action.

11. He can file for a Writ of Mandamus, ordering the GSA official to perform her duty.

There was a thread about it half a day or so ago...

12. Correct. The law is too vague to sustain

a writ of mandamus ( an order requiring an official to do her duty). Usually the losing candidate concedes and that become the bright line where transition can begin. Apparently nobody in Congress anticipated an insane, traitorous, fascist, malevolent nincompoop as President.

3. Rt.. Biden's Team knows what they're doing.

4. This is Biden's first Presidential test

How he handles this matter/crisis will have real consequences.

I saw his press conference and I felt really relieved to hear adults, but I was also satisfied (for now) with his judgment regarding the GSA and trump's frivolous lawsuits.

5. Legal action makes sense to be, I bet it gets traction very quickly

It's a national security issue at this point.

6. That's nice

I appreciate his trying to take the high road, to the point of not investigating trump too much, but he needs to show some strength at some point and not get walked on by these people. I wonder if Kamala is behind this--talk about strength.

10. Screw the high road...

That is not where Republicans travel.

[Duppers]

14. EXACTLY!!! 👍 👍

😠

We Dems wimp out too many times.

8. Good legal argument

Sue to have GSA conform to the law. Insist the GSA administrator sign it per the fact that Joe Biden is the apparent the winner as specified in the law. If not hold her in contempt and jail her butt until she signs it.

9. GOOD!

As a retired GSA employee, I know plenty of GSA employees are cheering him on!

13. With every day that she stalls,

the preparation for administration of vaccines gets pushed back by weeks. She will be directly responsible for the deaths of many more Americans.

[Duppers]

15. Excellent & valid point

Going to include that in my next email to her - she'll be directly responsible for more deaths.

TY!
