On State Legislators: "The Constitution allows you to do it ... so do it!"

North Carolinians watched with interest as events unfolded in South Carolina, and immediately after Fort Sumter fell, Governor Ellis replied to the Secretary of War’s request for two regiments to invade South Carolina with the following:

“I regard the levy of troops made by the administration for the purpose of subjugating the States of the South as in violation of the Constitution and a gross usurpation of power. I can be no party to this wicked violation of the laws of the country, and to this war upon the liberties of a free people. You can get no troops from North Carolina.”

"The state legislatures that are Republican controlled in the contested states should have officially sent an alternative slate of electors. That they did not is a manifestation of cowardice."

"Exactly. All these entities (State Legislatures, State/Federal Judiciary, Governors, Attorney Generals, Alphabet Deep Staters, Congress, Vice President, etc.) have "passed the buck" either for nefarious reasons, cowardly reasons, or a bit of both. But where does this buck stop? It is the State Legislatures. If they refuse to do their duty for whatever reasons, then the Constitutional Republic is fubar. 

It then falls on We the People to either pick up the buck in whatever manner to recreate the Republic that has been irreparably destroyed (in the sense that the Constitutional mechanisms in place for correction, reform are dependent on the very election process system that is broken--the elected never being willing to reform themselves, the election process). 

The founding fathers only had so much foresight--they couldn't factor in such systemic election fraud, at least in its cybernetic forms with wireless Dominion machines, Smartmatic computer programs all devised by an unaccountable CIA. I am no hothead who advocates violent insurrection, but honestly it is hard to see any nonviolent option other than secession by states willing to do so (though this itself likely would entail violence in terms of opposition by the Fed). Either quit the union or fight for a new one. Not a good place we are at."
