William Jacobson, Cornell University law professor, maintains the popular conservative political blog, Legal Insurrection. In a recent post, Jacobson analyzed exactly what the Democrats and the mainstream media are attempting to do with the Electoral College.

The Democrats and their supporters, the corporate media, have been having a fit since Donald Trump won the election. They are stopping at nothing to prevent his inauguration on January 20th. Their latest ploy involves coaxing the Electoral College representatives to abandon law and act against the majority of their constituents by not voting for Trump.

However, they are rationalizing their illegal and immoral tactics as civic duty alleging that foreign hostile actors “hacked the election” and influenced the results in Donald Trump’s favor. While the media continues to cite evidence claimed to have been found by the CIA, none has been presented yet to support their case.

Jacobson breaks down the events leading up to the present into two parts in order to examine the baseless reasoning being used to hoodwink the leftwing Americans into believing that they must overthrow the President-elect before his inauguration.

Here’s an excerpt:

The one thing you must understand about the unfolding media-Democrat Electoral College coup attempt We are witnessing nothing short of an attempt to steal the election by some Democrats and a very supportive mainstream and leftwing media, by causing Electors in the Electoral College to go rogue and vote for Hillary, or at least not vote for Trump. The first excuse for this tactic after the election was made by people like Prof. Lawrence Lessig. At least he was honest in his call to have the Electors stop Trump because he didn’t like the result and thought Trump would be a horrible president on a host of issues. Honest, but severely misguided. Call that Operation Flip the Electors, Part One. As it became obvious that the recounts demanded by Jill Stein and supported by Hillary would fail to change the outcome, a new and thoroughly dishonest media narrative developed — that Trump could not be allowed to take office because Russia “hacked the election.” By hacked the election, they don’t mean that the vote count was corrupted, but that alleged Russian hacking of the DNC and John Podesta influenced the outcome. A variation on that theme is that Trump has some potential Russian connection that makes him potentially disloyal to the United States. The claim is that this new information is so serious post-election, that the Electors must fulfill some alleged duty to protect the country from Trump. Call that Operation Flip the Electors, Part Two.

Jacobson describes what is happening as “thoroughly dishonest” and he couldn’t be more right.

If this shoe were on the other foot and it were Trump supporters that were actively trying to change the outcome of the election by interfering with the Electoral College or spreading Russian conspiracy theories, Democrats and their media cohorts would call it treason.
