This is some serious dumbfuckery, especially imagining the VPOTUS could set aside statutes at will and invoke legal opinions from Twitter (regardless of who wrote the tweets). I won’t even call it a legal opinion. “Mumbo-jumbo” is too mild a term. This is just bullshit.This is the six-point plan advanced by Trump lawyer John Eastman for VP Pence to overturn the election on January 6th.https://t.co/IkgmEuCW8b pic.twitter.com/CXWTVY1LL7

Well, he’s embarrassed that institution. Then again, John Yoo still has a job; and a law license. But this?It's worth noting that John Eastman is no fringe figure in the conservative movement. He's the Director of the Claremont Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence. pic.twitter.com/2aoNPR0Jy6

No; just no. That’s what Timothy McVeigh thought he was going to spark. That’s what Dylann Roof thought he was going to get. The more likely response was always that the Congress would tell Pence to stand down and would certify the results of the election without him. Even the Representatives and Senators who voted against accepting some of the electors knew they would not be personally responsible for Constitutional chaos. Had Pence provoked it, they’d have gladly let the responsibility fall on his head.I'd also add that steps 3-6 are academic.

The moment Vice President Pence announced Trump's re-election, the American people would have taken to the streets to protest a self coup, and the architects of this plan would have the chaos they intended.
Success has a thousand fathers, while failure is an orphan.Trump has taken to saying he merely wanted Pence to send the tabulations “back to the states” and not to overturn the election. Eastman suggestions explicitly call for Pence declaring Trump the winner. https://t.co/hDbUXOTnja
