The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

I think he is. To make a conspiracy you have to talk to make a plan, which is sometimes very short, and set the plan into motion. Typically they like to see a step in furtherance of the conspiracy and the false electoral slates are precisely that - evidence that there was a conspiracy that went beyond the talking stage. The Jan 6 crowd was assembled to cause chaos (more evidence of furtherance of a plan beyond the talking stage). I notice Eastman is now saying that Trump read several scholarly articles on the Electoral College to bone up on the law. They've already got witnesses who talked to Eastman at the time and he knew his plan would fail. Why do lawyers do this? Don't know.
