Liz Cheney urges the Supreme Court to stop aiding Donald Trump's delay tactics



on the issue of Trump not obeying court orders, I want someone to point out there are 61 court orders saying he lost, including the USSC but he keeps saying he won. Ack

2. She spoke in my city recently (Utah) and was excellent too. She's making good on her promise

to do everything she can to stop Trump.

I didn't get to see her but my friends went and were all buzz. I'd also recommend her book. In some ways it is stuff you already know but you get to see it from the republican side of the aisle. I liked it a lot.

In addition to the points you mentioned, she lays out the timeline for the televised hearings in a way I found very helpful. All those months later, it was great to have a refresher on exactly what was covered and who testified in each one that I can refer to whenever I want. I can't recommend it highly enough.

shithole disqualified even though he has enough of the delegates to secure him to run for president on behalf of the GQP.

Before disqualification, he chooses his VP. Will the VP then become to nominee and can pick another VP.

Or, Liz Cheney can step in as the nominee because majority of the GQP leaders decide so.

6. the delegates must vote at the convention so they would have to be unfaithful electors

it is rare but possible. We used to call them brokered conventions back in the day when there was no-one with a majority of the delegates.

I think we are all just hoping that voters will not vote for him on November 5 after hearing the evidence presented at the Jan 6 trial, or the documents trial.

But I still hold out hope that the GOP comes to its senses, that Trump drops to around 25 percent of the voters before the convention and they don't put him on the ballot. Then of course we gotta beat someone else which might be harder to do but overall safer for the nation.

10. I have mixed feelings on whether the majority of Republican lunatics

would vote for anyone but Trump even in a General Election. It depends on whether their support is more for the party overall or just him in particular? I personally think for many of them it's him in particular.

Then again if they replaced him with a semi more reasonable candidate whatever normal people they still have left in their party and some independents might vote for a replacement, in the general election, but would there be enough of them to make up the difference if the we only want Trump crowd aren't willing to vote for anyone else but him?

Nope. Didn't happen. I did not get struck by lightening for saying that.


Yet.

than once but I agree with Liz at least on her condemnation of Trump, and that the 6 Terrible Sumpreme Court Injustices are enabling him.

from Wyoming and although I never agreed with her politically, I do respect what she’s doing. I even switched parties (cough, cough) to vote for her.

14. Interesting to have two (r)epublican stalwarts (Nicolle Wallace and Liz Cheney) dissing trump.

15. I hear these (R) pundits talking but nothing about what the (R) platform will be.

Even this segment is just bash this/bash that.

How are Cheney, Wallace, and other (r)epuglicans going to make this country healthy? Real policy statements, not just "in two weeks..."

I don't think the (r)epuglicons have any real smart people that understand global issues on their team. They just have cheap/expensive lobbyists and legal people who have no ethics.
