We're now opening audience registrations for the 14th Research Showcase (9-10 Nov) hosted by @HistWorkshop, where we provide Japan-based history ECRs an opportunity to present their research in English. Please register here: https://t.co/hSEeI8GY74
@The_Taxdude Not sure I follow the 5-dimensional chess here. The Democrats won the popular and electoral college vote (DHS says no fraud, court challenges getting rejected, etc. https://t.co/21EAwHk312). There's no need for them to invoke the 12th.
Another rant (1):
Wake-up call: the 12th Amendment could still allow Trump a 100% legal and constitutional victory if he just keeps his lawsuits going long enough to delay certification and just keeps enough Republican state legislatures on his side.
I see liberal/progressive optimism about what a Biden executive branch can do even w/o R-controlled Senate cooperation. Sorry, but can someone explain how Biden will get a single cabinet position approved? I'm genuinely perplexed.
(11) Biden may be the /presumptive/ president-elect, but there's many a slip twixt the ballot box and the White House.
And don't even get me (re)started about the Senate (as some of you already know)....
(10) This is why I'm shocked that people are referring to Biden as president-elect. He's not. It's willful self-deception to claim otherwise. Results are not certified, the legal challenges are not exhausted, and the path to the presidency for Trump is still there.
