Ignorance of the law

Wed., Dec. 16, 2020

As a former resident of Spokane I was especially sorry and embarrassed to see Member of Congress McMorris Rodgers join other GOP representatives in support of the suit brought by Texas to invalidate the votes of more than 20 million voters in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Although as far as I know she never attended law school, that doesn’t excuse such ignorance of basic constitutional requirements. Spokane voters, even those who supported President Trump in the election, should be ashamed.
