Pence had the authority to send it back to the legislatures.

If that's the case, the VP of every losing presidential candidate would have done that.

Constitutional law experts

May I expound on just how little faith I have in so called 'experts'?

I have described very few as traitors. However I have said many in politics are controlled opposition. Don't equate the two.

What's the difference?

Trump taking on three very unpopular Republicans is not insurmountable.

The latter two have a great amount of institutional power, and they can use it against Trump, or they can stand aside. This assures that they're going to use it against them. So it's very stupid.
