I think there's no time like the present for Special Council Jack Smith to initiate recusal proceedings against Judge Aileen Cannon.

For all intents and purposes, I believe so. But one of the points that actually got a laugh in the oral arguments was how divided (ineffective) the Congress is.

It's only affecting some users on some servers at some times of the day. I've noticed it since the update on the 8th or 9th. Seemingly completely arbitrary.

I've applied for half-a-dozen private trackers, but they've all turned me down. Definitely seems counter to the entire idea of piracy IMO.

It may be the case that he intended to vote against certification, but only after the riots did he vote to certify. I can't find a vote from him to decertify, but if you can I'll throw him up there.

I know that this information is years old, but as the GOP attempts to pick their new nominee for Speaker of the House, I find it important to note that most of their potential candidates are ones who objected to the 2020 Presidential results in one or both of Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Jordan says House will hold next speaker vote at noon ET Thursday

House Republican supporters of a resolution to temporarily empower interim Speaker Patrick McHenry are working to maximize GOP votes and educate members about the effort. Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a chief Republican opponent of Jim Jordan’s speakership bid, said on Wednesday that the speaker designee would lose a “bigger chunk” of GOP floor votes on a third ballot. The 11-term South Florida congressman said he would “never” back Jordan for speaker.

No more votes expected in the House today, with lawmakers set to reconvene at 11 a.m. Wednesday

No additional votes are expected in the House on Tuesday, closing out another day without a permanent House speaker. The House will meet at 11 a.m. (EST) Wednesday and proceed to a second ballot in an attempt to elect a speaker.

I have moved general discussion and updates to here, as this post references an article which covers only the breaking news that Republicans have failed to successfully elect a speaker with the first ballot.

It may not be the Jan 6th indictment birthday present I was hoping for, but further obstruction counts is fine I suppose!
