Tar and feathers used to be the remedy for misconduct. That, and riding a rail.Tramp96 said:
Question for Forum 16 lawyers - aren't there laws in place that address prosecutorial abuse or misconduct? Wouldn't this type of stuff qualify? Do the State Bar Associations address stuff like this?
I just can't fathom that prosecutors can just go on like this unrestrained and unfettered.
Particularly so since that was the approved procedure in the 1960 election with Hawaii having two slates during an election recount. In fact, had Hawaii not sent both slates, Congress would not have to accept any electors if not done in conformity with the safe harbor provision of the Electoral Count Act.MouthBQ98 said:
I don't get the whole idiotic "fake electors" thing. There was a previously established practice of having an alternate slate of electors selected should various legal challenges happen to alter the outcome of a close state election result. It has just never happened yet. So the alternates are still prospective, and not understood or represented to be the actual current electors.
It's not like they kidnapped the original electors and went in with disguises or fake ID, or showed up when the electors were assembled and got in a fiat fight over who was legit….
The hyperbolics around this are beyond idiotic and should rightly be laughed out of any respectable courtroom.
