Emily Murphy to Congress: No
It seems that Emily Murphy was supposed to talk to a House committee today to explain why tf she is refusing to ascertain Biden as president.
Cool. So when is this happening exactly?
Oh.
Ok I do not understand. What do they mean an underling will “brief” i.e. answer the questions of the Committee next week? The committee summoned Emily Murphy, not an underling, and the time was today, not next week. What is this shit? Besides a coup? Maybe nothing; maybe it just is a coup.
Ah well. At least while putting her spoiling tactics on display, she gets a chance to release her inner Trump. Or more accurately, her inner Bloody Mary.
Representative democracy is the least worst system of government we have. (h/t Churchill.) But the trouble with it is that the people who stand for election all too often are not themselves democrats. They do not want the popular will to prevail. They want it to be their own will that does so.
Emily Murphy has earned herself a place in the history books; maybe only as a footnote. But it’s clearly her preference; otherwise oblivion.
