To each... Those criticizing that Harris doesn't just go against senate precedent thought it would have been catastrophic if Pence had gone against senate precedent - as if senate precedent only matters when it is them and not us. This is very different. You are comparing internal rules about how the Senate does its mandated job (passing legislation) versus a Constitutional obligation to count the votes of the Constitutionally mandated Electors. Those aren't even apples and oranges, those are apples and squids. So different it's crazy to even think it would be reasonable to lump them together. The constitution is rather vague in the powers of the VP in determining which electoral votes to count. The precedent is the VP will count the certified counts from each state.

You are being intentionally ignorant.

I mean, it's very clear that each state has a certain number of electoral votes. They are cast when the Electors chosen according to a process agreed to by the state legislatures (which is, for every state, "election by the people") meet in their various states and cast votes. These are exactly the votes that Congress is supposed to count, under the eyes of the President of the Senate (ie. the Vice President of the USA). It is not ambiguous in any way.

Not sure that "minimum wage law entirely avoidable by making a holding company of small corporations" would have been a better alternative

The White House reiterated today VP Harris would not be allowing the inclusion of the minimum wage hike in the reconciliation bill, even though she has the sole legal authority to do so. Weird!
