On January 6, 2021 do you want Rand Paul to be the objector for the Senate?

[ProBlue33]

Joint session for the House and Senate which the VP(Pence) presides over

Members of Congress may object to returns from any state as they are announced. Objections must be made in writing by at least one member of the House and one in the Senate. If the objection meets certain requirements, each chamber meets separately to debate the objection for a maximum of two hours. Afterward, each chamber votes to accept or reject the objection. Back in joint session, the results of the respective votes are announced. Any objection to a state's electoral vote has to be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded.

Thoughts ?

Should be conditional, no need to give blind support to a relatively well behaved neocons laced tainted administration whose closest ally on world stage had been an Iraq war lobbying parasitic foreign state's head and just got played in the end by neocons anyway.

Quote:
MAGA 'injured bear' (borrowing another forum guest's analogy) seems in decisive mode right now and means business looking at resignation demand threat against FDA head to secure very quick approval of vaccine on Friday. Before joining this effort, Rand should demand that alpha MAGA leader issue similar tweet ultimatum for quickly ending forever wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and stopping $Billions in more wasteful wars spending in latest budget.
As MAGA tries to hold accountable deep neocons/'treacherous zionists' who allegedly supported 'stolen election' coup against him, he can be supported in principle but Rand should offer qualified support based on such conditions.

My thoughts are if certain states are objected to it wont change anything . A majority is not going to vote against it in the house .

If the antecedent of the pronoun "it" is the results of the electoral college vote, then this is an understatement. Not more than a half dozen members of Congress total from both chambers would vote to do anything at all to tamper with it.

Notice how nowhere in that article is there any support for your claim that Rand Paul agreed to start that motion.

What are the pros and cons? I assume he would be the only one. What is the future benefit and cost?

One thing is for certain, Rand will never have the support of the establishment and leftists. They love big government. L(l)ibertarianism (or libertarian, constitutional, Republicanism) is the true opposite of that. There's a reason the left, RINOs, swamp creatures and neocons always come at libertarians with venom.
