Analysis from constitutional law expert Mark Smith on ‘Fox & Friends First.’ Today is a key day in the certification of the election of President-elect Joe Biden as electors from individual states, pledged to the candidates assemble.

Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution says “Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United S...

Non-Adjudication Is Not an Option The Supreme Court’s refusal on Dec. 11— purely on standing grounds—marks the latest in a long line of courts all of whom have refused to hear the evidence of alleged widespread voter fraud (enabled by the unconstitutional acts of non-legislative actors in four of the six swing states still under dispute). The Supreme Court’s refusal to reach the merits—over the dissents of Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas—was, I fear, a tragic error of grav...

Is PMB (President Muhammadu Buhari) of yesterday different from the PMB of today? The PMB of yesterday was first seen as a good and very disciplined gentleman. He was considered as a new messiah to deliver the people of Nigeria from their life-style of political chicanery. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, he portrayed himself as a patriot, especially with his agenda of War Against Indiscipline (WAI). He was then seen as a man of impeccable integrity. He was feared but loved and respected...

Donald Trumps Stealthy Road to Victory As the counting of votes in Arizona, Georgia, and especially Pennsylvania continues, most of the press and punditry have concluded that Vice President Biden has won the 2020 election. Certainly, a substantial majority of the rest of us are suffering from “election fatigue” and eager for this drama to be over. Without disagreeing with the conventional wisdom about the final tally when all the legal votes are counted, I believe the current consensus is ...

The member representing Ahoada-East/Abua/Odual Federal Constituency, Rivers State, Solomon Bob on Thursday described the snubbing of the Joint Session of the National Assembly by President Muhamadu Buhari as of a clear case questioning the existence of the legislature. Mr. Bob raised a point of order on privilege, demanding answers from the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila on why the President who was scheduled to appear before the joint session of the House did not honour the invitation. It would be...

Promises. when he first got in, he felt compelled to make statements on each one of them. so the wall became part of it. and everything became -- the obama appeal became part of it. one of the good things that reagan did, they did a study of what made other 100 days work well. it wasnt so much how much you got accomplished in terms of a scatter shot but how you focussed. james baker told reagan, economic recovery, economic recovery. he finally got the tax cut through and got democrats on his sid...

In their past politically have decided to take on roles in conservative politics and shrink the federal government. >> dana: well see if we can get others to kphepb on this. the other night after the presidents joint session the democrats did their response. their choice of a response was former governor basheer. i dont take issue with that because i think i understand what the democrats are trying to do, in terms of appealing to oler white voters. when you looked at that, did you feel like that...

Being a defense of ledgelation and executive orders. i think many previous presidents have gotten flew and used that as a legislative walk-through. but you will here about his commitment to immigration and his desire for border security and what it means not just about keeping the nation safe but what impact its having on the economy. you will hear a lot about immigration tomorrow night. and he will talk about why it matters. and the goal that we have, and why we should come together on areas li...

Season of where outsiders are sort of central here. its a catholic moment in the country, the majority of supreme court justices are catholic. seven out of 15 republican candidates running for president are catholic. but when he speaks before congress on thursday, the first pope ever to address a joint session, hes going to have, i believe, tough medicine for both sides, perhaps democrats on abortion but for republicans, on climate change, on social justice issues, so i think that this is a very...
