    Won't happen if it even gets that far up the chain. In it's entire history the SC has never ruled in favor of blocking a Congressional subpeona for Presidential documents. This court is not going to open that bag of worms by setting a precident.
    Let's see what happens.

    While this crap is being heard Trump's lawyers want a ruling that NONE of the documents requested and already legally made obtainable also be blocked.

    Yea . . . milking the system.

    Ex-Executive privilege isn't a thing.

    The death sentence for Trump? Apparently it's a possibility.

    The former failed president (who lost the popular vote twice and was impeached twice) cancels Jan. 6 press conference.

    "In light of the total bias and dishonesty of the January 6th Unselect Committee of Democrats, two failed Republicans, and the Fake News Media, I am canceling the January 6th Press Conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday”

    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    The rats are turning on each other.
    Trump turns on Hannity over Capitol-riot texts advising him to stop claiming the election was stolen.
    Former President Donald Trump hit out at the Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday for suggesting days after the Capitol riot that Trump should stop claiming the 2020 US election was rigged.


    The House select committee investigating the Capitol riot on Tuesday released the texts sent by Hannity — a prominent supporter of Trump — to Trump allies including Mark Meadows, then the White House chief of staff.


    They were part of a letter to Hannity requesting that he cooperate with the committee's investigation.


    The letter quoted a text Hannity sent to Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio four days after the Capitol riot that said Trump "can't mention the election again."


    "Ever," it continued. "I did not have a good call with him today. And worse, I'm not sure what is left to do or say, and I don't like not knowing if it's truly understood. Ideas

    ^ It gives me the laughs to be honest. I'll be willing to bet the next thing that happens in trumpworld is that the DOJ indicts trump for sedition.

    On the 5th, the AG gave a speech basically saying they've been picking the lowest fruit on the tree, but make no mistake, they're going to the top.

    The Biden's speech which directly blamed trump for the insurrection.

    Shit's going down, guys...
    "I was a good student. I comprehend very well, OK, better than I think almost anybody," - President Trump comparing his legal knowledge to a Federal judge.

    This YouTube post is a very good summary of the events a year ago. This is going to make for an interesting movie once all the dust settles, and it will be in a different league than "All The President's Men". The Select Committee has exposed and recorded much more than we had with Watergate. Pence did good in regard to what the country needs and we owe the stability we have to him. What a mess it could have been!

    As true as it may be . . . but what a warped world we live in when this is true.

    What choice did he have? The constitution does not allow him to reject electoral votes. He’s a slimy little weasel, but he’s not stupid. That’s the only praise he deserves.

    Exactly right!!
    he is being praised for not doing what he could not do even if he wanted. What about doing what he could and should had?

    I am honestly not so sure. If he had refused to count (even though he did not have the constitutional authority to do so) - what then?

    Will grant you that! Pence wants to end up on the right side of history on this thing. He has been cooperating with the Select Committee so that SHOULD give them more insights into Trump's actions, although the extent of that cooperation is not known publicly yet.

    I am not talking for that incident along, he was the vice enabler for the whole term, being an a-hole for four years, and then doing the right thing once does not make one a here in my book.

    PS: I am sure there is a process for when the VP fails to perform his constitutional duties. Not counting the votes would had triggered such mechanism, and would had brought this coup out of the uncertain gray area it is now and into reality where it would had been dealt with affectively, rather than there being any doubt about it at all.

    I'm pretty sure there isn't. The constitution is still a work in progress.

    For example, if it had required a constitutional amendment requiring 3/4 of states to agree......

    It would have been the very definition of a constitutional crisis.
