Right out in the open

This is the plan. They’re not bothering to hide it or even disguise it a little:

An inherent weakness of any legal system is that the authorities themselves have to voluntarily play by the rules, or the whole thing breaks down. There’s no provision in the American legal system for a secretary of state — a purely ministerial position when it comes to certifying elections — who simply decides to ignore election results. Now this “innovation” could in theory be blocked by a SCOTUS that decided to recognize that you can’t steal elections totally openly like that, even if lawyers can cook up some half-assed legal theory — the “independent state legislature doctrine” — to justify it. But there’s ALSO no provision in the American legal system for when the SCOTUS becomes the arm of an authoritarian political party, that doesn’t plan to allow now or in the future what we like to refer to in the context of third world nations as “free and fair elections.”

So here we are.
