Elder, I live in Flint Michigan... why do you keep pulling us into your posts about Biden and Harris? What am I missing here?

How's your tap water? Obama didn't want to drink it.

Some highlights:
"the law says that Congress members can object. At least one objection from each chamber is needed to trigger a separate vote by both House and Senate on the objections. If both chambers agree, the objected voters are rejected. That’s virtually out of the question given the Democrats’ majority in the House.

If two sets of electors are presented for counting, the House and Senate need to separately vote on which set is legitimate and which should be rejected. If each chamber votes differently, the set certified by the state’s governor should count. That would hand the victory to Biden."

"Some jurists say it’s the VP who has the sole discretion to decide which votes to count. The argument is that the framers intended for the VP to be the sole authority over the counting of the votes because the unanimous resolution attached to the Constitution said that the Senate should appoint its president “for the sole purpose of receiving, opening, and counting the votes for president."

"The second argument is that the Constitution grants the authority to determine how electors are picked to state legislatures. As such, any disputes over which votes should be counted should be resolved by state legislatures.

The problem is, state legislatures aren’t in session and they can’t assemble in a special session without a call from the governors, who have refused to do so. Meanwhile, the legislatures have usually delegated the power to certify electors to the Governors and Secretaries of State, undermining their own authority on the matter."

The female lawyer featured in this brief video makes a strong case, using historical precedent, that the Vice-President can reject or accept electoral votes at will. Of course, the Dems would take it to SCOTUS, and there is no doubt that SCOTUS would suddenly become interested. But this would force them to consider the "equal protection" ruling in the 2000 Gore vs. Bush case, which would help Trump. But again, will Pence be a man or a wimp in the name of "principle."

I will answer your question...

The water in our home never had an odor or was brown. They dug in our front yard in 2019 to check our pipes, and they are fine... didn't to be replaced like so many others in our city. However, we have been cooking with and drinking bottled water since 2015, so I am used to doing so now and I almost prefer it.

As for President Obama... when he was here he DID drink a glass of water, but as no one saw it coming from a tap, so it could have been bottled. It was suspect to me at the time...

Now... will you answer my question? What does Flint's water problem have to do with anything related to politics today?

Democrats (and Republicans) will never give Flint pure drinking water. If they ever followed the trail, it would go right back to GM. Barack Obama and Creepy Uncle Joe wouldn't drink the water then, and they still won't now.
But Scott Pitta is Mr Clean Water, since all his NPRing he does here on the forum. I thought he would like to share with us why politicians won't clean up the water without having a gun to their head. It's not only lead contents in the water. The water can cause everything from miscarriages to cancer in some people. We are the richest country in the world, but we treat our people like serfs in Feudal Europe.

Also your water doesn't have to smell like a toilet, or be brown to be bad. Testing the water is the only way to see if it's acceptable. Also unless you shower and bathe with bottle water. This biggest organ on your body (skin) is absorbing the water you wash in.

May all be well with you and your family in Flint Michigan.
