Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
2h
My statement on the woke mob at @simonschuster
what a whiner.
And this is a guy who was SCOTUS clerk? He doesn't know what the First Amendment protects?
I hope Mitch drops him from all committee assignments.
He probably does, but the people he’s trying to win over to be Trump’s successor don’t have a clue.
... Hawley will have a real hard time finding another mainstream publisher by suing S&S.
Trump University Publishing?

The mob assaulted the Capitol because Trump incited them to do so, not because of the Senators who objected.
The counting of Electors would still have taken place on Jan 6th, & the mob would still have rioted to try to stop it, because Trump told them it would.
The Senators were trying to focus attention on the irregularities in this election, so they'ii be addressed before the next election.
The riot disrupted their harmless effort which needed to be no more controversial than previous objections.

Which do not exist, per the ~60 or so judges, including SCOTUS, that reviewed them.

We'll see. Hurried court cases, based on limited time & evidence are not dispositive.
70 million voters want the evidence examined more closely. The issue now moves to the states.

Yes. They are. Literally.
Tell you what though: how about all your Republicans who think that the election was rigged.....don't take their seats of power? After all, fair elections are soooooo important to all of you? So let McConnell stay home, and not vote in the Senate until guys like Old Salt can tell us that, to his satisfaction, the elections were run fairly.
How's that sound? Certainly solves your problem, doesn't it? After all, "hurried court cases based on limited time & evidence" can't possibly tell us if McConnells win wasn't fraudulent, right?
Let me know when your team decides to take this so very honorable path you've chosen for yourselves.

Wrong here Salty. Sixty out of sixty one court cases dismissed out of hand regardless of limited time and evidence is the very definition of dipositive.
What does dispositive mean in law?
An adjective describing something that resolves a legal issue, claim or controversy.
