I watched most of it, but it doesn't seem tough enough. Maybe there was something more to the point than I saw, like what to do about the certification of the electors for last November. If the Arizona Legislature doesn't respond to lawlessness, they will have ceded their authority to oversee the selection of electors, which is the power given to them by the US Constitution.

The Maricopa County officials, who are obstructing this audit, are assuming an authority that they do not have. It is not they who have the authority to audit themselves, as Kelli Ward mentions. Only the State Legislature can do that. There will be more court appearances, but in the meantime, Arizona does provide for some penalities for non-compliance with a lawful subpoena. Penalties don't seem all that tough, but it may be painful enough to get somebody's attention over there. Perhaps some jail time may be in order, but nobody has the nerve to do that, it seems.

If Nancy Pelosi and her crew can jail some protesters in DC, then why can't the Arizona authorities do the same? After all, this obstruction of the business of the legislature isn't lawful, and it may be considered seditious.

Does Maricopa County want to secede from the Union? Do they believe that the laws of the Union do not apply to them? Do they want to set up their own Confederacy?

Abraham Lincoln once paraphrased the Gospels when he said that a House Divided Cannot Stand. It will become all free or all slave, he said. Well, it does appear that history is repeating. There are those who don't want to follow the laws of the Union. That makes them rebels. This was an official act. It wasn't an act of a private citizen. Think long and hard about that one.
