    Please explain to me why then the states did not just ignore Scotus, or use there constitutinaly, scotus garenteed rights to determine who the state electors vote for, and order that they could not vote for trump, a thing that is allowable without saying no to the court.

    and before you say that a state cannot just ignore the supreme court, need I remind you that right now the president is, and we have had it done by county clerks refusing marage licences before.

      The laws on the state and national side would prevent such action generally speaking. POTUS is breaking laws. That simple.

        and I am asking what the hell is a law, more than words on paper we all agree to follow, If the stakes where as dire as was being said, why the hell did we stay following them, the choices where simple, use your right to direct state electors to under no circomstance cast a vote for said individual, or to contenue to follow your interpritation, the plain text of the document you say you care for and say you have an oath to. Laws do not have mystical power to force someone to follow. At the war crime trials “I was just following the law/orders” will not be a defence. Chose your side and stick to it
