An issue that really needs attention is the situation of having people put in place ahead of the election that are there to stop the certification of the results. This is simply having two or three people on the panel of electors to refuse to accept the results so that nothing can move forward. If there is truly a problem then it makes sense, like in a very close race to ask for a recount. However, when the results are huge and overwhelming in favor of one over the other this interference is there just to keep the count from being sent forward.
This should be dealt with in a very expeditious way. If you have a greater than say 12% margin then no denier should be able to block the result without facing charges of obstruction. The people that are on these panels should be vetted so that any bias is removed before they are seated. Nice idea but maybe impossible to accomplish. Ideally people will be on that panel that will honorably fulfill the duties of the position. The fact that one man’s fragile ego gets in the way is just too damned bad. He should not be elected in the first place.
Another issue that goes with this very type of confused disservice is the way people are sworn in for giving testimony or being sworn in for service jobs such as the President. If we are going to separate church and state why do we use a bible and swear with our hand on the bible and before god. It should be an oath to the Constitution and holding a copy of the Constitution or a copy of the Bill of Rights.
This nation was not founded on any particular religious faith and claiming that we should all practice one faith or another is sheer lunacy. The founders were concerned that men believed in something bigger than themselves, as they were all Masons, but they did not say christian or jewish or any other faith.
One of the indications for a christian faith belief is the fact that a bible is used to swear in for office or to testify in court and swear to God. Now if we had developed the habit of swearing to the Constitution while holding a copy of the Bill of Rights it might be different. That idea makes so much more sense as it really does convey the commitment to the union not to a deity. The white christian nationalist are working hard to make the country dance to the tune they want to play and if you do not then you face your fate.
When it comes to this idea that somehow the color of one’s skin is a determination of hierarchy is easily disproved. The fact that one of the tactics of war is to rape and the power to own a slave is the power to rape, and the rights of a husband over his wife is to have sex, all of these actions can produce the ultimate result, another life. So we say one act was through LOVE and the others through LUST, either way an erection was necessary and all were achieved in the same manner. A stiff penis has no brain and yet more men are led by the actions of their penis than by their brains, and the penis works best in the dark and does not care what color is on the outside of the target, or victim
