Mark Halperin Warns ‘We’re Gonna See More’ Advocacy To Stop Trump From Taking Office As Inauguration ‘Gets Closer’​

In a Thursday column for The Hill, liberal attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte argued that Congress can still prevent Trump from taking office on Jan. 20 by rejecting electoral votes on Jan. 6, claiming Trumpis disqualified under the 14th Amendment. Halperin, on “American Agenda,” suggested that as the shock of Trump’s November victory subsides, more individuals on the left will follow the attorneys’ lead in opposing Trump’s second term.

Would that somehow be different from the way they responded to his first term?

It wouldn't be. It's a disgraceful proposal and proponents should be shunned and ridiculed for their foolishness.

I shun and ridicule them as required.

 

[iluvatar5150]

Oh is it now wrong to try to pull stunts like this?

 

[Nithavela]

I don't see any serious movement to try and prevent Trump's inauguration.

Two attorneys saying something is not a threat to democracy.

Or how he responded to the end of it.

I wanna see a major movement to keep Biden in the white house.

 

[Pommer]

Or how he responded to the end of it.

Will the one term President attend the inauguration ceremony of the 21st Century’s “Grover Cleveland”?

Hot take on The Hill inspires hot take on the Daily Caller. News at 11.

Since Harris voters are "not going to have a country anymore" I could see them chanting "Hang Kamela Harris" in front of the capitol before storming in - while Dark Brandon watches affairs from the White House with a sly smile.

 

[ViaCrucis]

I wanna see a major movement to keep Biden in the white house.

You'll be waiting a long time, because that's not going to happen.

The most likely way that Trump will be delayed in taking office is for the Republicans to fail to elect a speaker.

Isnt the current speaker in place until a new one is elected?

 

[Pommer]

Nope…the New congress is sworn in January 3, and then the leadership offices are filled (or not).

Sure, but that would require Republicans to agree, which has 0% chance of happening.

Virtually nothing about the old House passes to the new. No member-elect is sworn in, committees don't have members, the House doesn't have officers, the House has no rules beyond the basic principles of parliamentary procedure, etc. Until a Speaker is elected, the Clerk of the House (a House employee) presides. This will be the 119th time the House has been constituted.

The Senate, on the other hand, is a continuing body and has existed continuously since it first had a quorum to do business on April 6, 1789.

This is an opinion column. No need to worry or spread fear. Trump will slide right in with no problem.

US democracy faced a threat when 147 members of Congress voted against certifying a duly elected President on January 6, 2021. An opinion column does not threaten democracy.

I understand the intent to compare President Trump's reluctance to leave office after the 2020 election and the efforts by many Republicans to keep him in office. However, using this opinion column to label it as a " Democracy is at stake" seems like an exaggerated effort to draw such a parallel.
