Laurence Tribe: "The position taken by @RandPaul
& 44 other Senators would give all future presidents two weeks at the end of their term in office to go on a crime spree without ever having to face the consequences in a Senate disqualification trial. That’s a formula for destroying our republic!!"

1. I thought about this quite a bit as we approached 1/20/21.

If they continue the Insurrection, it has to be treason.

2. I just wonder what kept him back from doing it.

He's capable of anything. I wonder what he was afraid of. He must have been scared of something or he would have done it. He wanted to hang on to the presidency more than anything.

3. But martial law would not have given him the ability to nullify the election, nor install him

Unless he had made a successful coup attempt. Per the constitution his term still would have ended on 1/20/21 at noon REGARDLESS.

There were several attorneys that spoke to that.

4. Correct.

Abramson has a habit of doing this -- making assertions that simply aren't true.

That doesn't stop DU from posting every word he says, however....
