re: Should the status of Warnock and Ossoff be in question?

Decision makers familiar with the voting and counting process anticipated fraud was highly possible, unless procedures were put in place to prevent it.
The procedures for signing yhe tapes are just to ensure the electronic vote tallies accurate, not to prevent fraud. Since there were multiple hand recounts of the paper ballots, the electronic tallies are kind of moot. If there had been some huge discrepancy between the original electronic totals and the hand recount totals, then there would be an issue.

GA Code § 21-2-386 A-1-c
That statute is for absentee votes. The recent admission from Fulton County relates to early in person voting, so that statute clearly does not apply.
I realize there are also issues with mail in ballots, but try to keep the issues straight.

What about this:
What you quoted has absolutely nothing to do with the hand recount of the paper record.
The daily tabulations for early in person voting were not properly authenticated. But the totals all matched up and were verified in multiple hand recounts.

Right. It’s just a “clerical error”
Call it whatever you want. The error here involved the tabulation of the ballots, not the ballots themselves.
This current story is about early, in person voting. No one is claiming the votes themselves were improper. The tabulation of the votes were not properly authenticated.
Fortunately, in Georgia, the electronic voting machines produce a paper record that the voter double checks before putting that record in a secure box. Multiple hand recounts of the paper records have confirmed the Fulton County vote tabulation was accurate.
Potentially fraudulent mail in votes or whatever are not part of this current story.
No laws were broken, but the poll workers failed to follow proper procedure, and Fulton County is likely to face substantial fines.
But this particular story is not the election fraud bombshell people are hoping for.

There were definitely some shady actors involved in the 2020 election that had agendas and manipulated the system
I think there was mostly simple incompetence. Our election system has been sloppy and haphazard forever, but elections usually are not close enough for the incompetence to matter. Most of the highly contentious, razor thin margin elections are local, and dont result in massive changes to the system.
The 2000 election revealed the flaws in our system, along with the surprising revelation that it is virtually impossible to accurately count a couple million votes, even using computers.
While Florida was being embarrassed nationally, other states were looking at their own voting systems and realizing changes needed to be made. We still haven't eliminated the flaws, though.
The 2000 election caused Georgia to make massive election changes, including the shift to computerized voting machines. Bush won Georgia easily in 2000, but they realized the statistics in their voting results looked way worse than Florida's.

They’ve got a word for someone seizing power without an election and that word is not President
I was talking about succession. So, if a two term President was serving as, say, Speaker of the House, and some series of events caused the Presidency and Vice Presidency to be vacant, then the 22nd Amendment would not prevent the Speaker from taking the seat.
I wasn't advocating for a two term President to just declare an emergency or anything like that.

"By two terms, does the 22nd mean limiting to two total terms, or limiting to two consecutive terms?"
You should probably read the 22nd Amenment before trying to comment on it. It doesn't say anything about serving "two terms".
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice"
The Amendment intentionally leaves room for a two term President to serve again in an emergency situation, they just can't be elected again.
However, there is no ambiguity regarding consecutive terms or whatever. One cannot be elected more than twice.

I can only assume you have never dealt with drug addiction in your family.
It sucks...it really, really sucks...but eventually the parents of drug addicts all figure out the best thing they can do for their addicted child is nothing at all. Let them live on the street, doing unthinkable things, until they realize they need help with their addiction.
You can send them for treatment all you want, but nothing works until they want help.

Illegals" didn't exist as a concept when the 14A was drafted.
We had open borders. The real restrictive immigration laws that created the concept of "illegals" didn't occur for decades.
This is the real issue to me. When the 14th was ratified, it clearly granted citizenship to anyone born on US soil, other than Indian reservations. The children of immigrants were intentionally included.
Decades later, immigration laws were enacted, and we began to see a new class of resident, the "illegal immigrant". The question, of course is whether the 14th grants citizenship to the children of this new class of resident?
Like it or not, I think it has to. Congress cannot change the meaning of the Constitution by passing new laws.
Prior to the immigration laws being enacted, if a Mexican couple wandered across the border and took up residence in the US, then the 14th Amendment granted citizenship to their children. So there shouldn't be any way for Congress to deny citizenship to the children of immigrants by passing immigration laws

Here's a crazy reality... You can't pass anything in Congress without some Democrat votes. AND the Senate is controlled by GOPe/uniparty/RINO never-Trumpers
Well, are tarrifs the answer or not? Use a little leadership and deal making to convince Dems and Never Trumpers to go along. Maybe Compromise here and there. That is how our government used to function. We have data points right now to judge whether these tarrifs are useful.
If tarrifs are some critical necessity, then nuke the filibuster to get them.
If Congress won't go along, then maybe our Country doesn't want these tarrifs. And that would be something to consider
Honestly, I think Trump should be doing both. Seek legislation, but also use existing legislation to do what he reasonably can.
But dont use the inefficiency of Congress to bypass the Constitution. Congressional inefficiency is a feature, not a bug.
re: Bessent says administration can replicate tariffs if they lose at the Supreme Court

Here's a crazy idea: Just get your GOP majority Congress to pass the tarrifs, along with granting you the authority to adjust the Congressional tarrifs based on negotiations with foreign countries. Exactly what Our Constitution intended.

He can arrest people, I guess, but they can still choose to use their pardon as a defense. Then a judge will decide if they are valid.

It’s gonna be cool when they impose a salary cap so we will basically just be watching the NFL in different uniforms.
We essentially are there. This revenue sharing nonsense is a salary cap, they just don't call it that because they refuse to admit it is pay for play.
The NIL Clearinghouse is supposed to prevent NIL deals from secretly being pay for play deals, which is the same thing the pro leagues do.
The difference in college, though, is these Collectives. They are basically allowing a fan club to pay athletes NIL money to endorse the fan club. Those are clearly pay for play deals, except that the athletes have to actually participate in marketing to get the money.

He got on Pat Hayden's last nerve.
They finished 2012 with a 7-6 record aftercstarting the seadon ranked #1 in both polls. They then opened the 2013 PAC season with ugly losses to Washington State and Arizona State. He was not allowed on the team bus after the ASU loss, but I'm not sure anyone ever explained why firing him became so urgent.

"Start" thinking? The SCORE act is already working its way through committee. It essentially codifies the House settlement, and gives anti trust protection to the schools and conferences as long as they follow the rules.
I don't know if its a good idea to codify this system before we know if it works....but the anti trust exemption is a good thing.

NIL fund is kind of gone. Rev share now
Third party NIL is still the primary force. The Collectives were given the right to keep paying players to advertise for the Collectives. So, they can pay an athlete to, say, sign autographs at an alumni fund raiser, even though the funds are being raised for the Collective.
The limitation is the contracts have to be fair market value. I don't know what FMV for an autograph signing like above would be, but it probably isn't $500K. To spend the money on these athletes they have to organize a TON of marketing scenarios.
