UPDATE: J. Michael Luttig, a retired judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals, said that if Mike Pence went with Donald Trump’s orders to reject the electoral vote count for Joe Biden it “would have plunged America into what I believe would have been tantamount to a revolution within a constitutional crisis in America.” Luttig, a conservative judge and informal adviser to Pence, said that it “would have been the first constitutional crisis since the founding of the republic.”
