—Bruce Levene
“It is legal to challenge election results in courts even when the many lawsuits are frivolous. I cannot believe that it is legal to pressure someone to act illegally to reverse the election results.

“I don’t understand how you can pardon someone who hasn’t been convicted of a crime. And how can you have a ‘blank check’ pardon process? Shouldn’t the pardon be attached to a specific crime?”
—Donna Myers
“Isn’t this basically an admission of guilt? How can you pardon someone unless they’ve broken some law?”

“Catching and dying from Covid now, is like being the last soldier to die in a war after the peace treaty has been signed.

—Stephen Stafford
