I got that Alito was in on it. If such a plot was brewing that sure explains all the delays dispatching the Nat'l Guard to the Capitol. They wanted there to be no possible way for Congress to reconvene to certify, then Alito could step in.

Of course Powell lies like a rug but this certainly needs to be followed up on and investigated.
