Following the Supreme Court's denial of the Texas lawsuit—later joined by 17 states, New Jersey Democrat Rep. Bill Pascrell is demanding that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refuse to seat the 126 House Republicans who supported the Texas suit. LI readers may recall Pascrell filing complaints against and trying to get lawyers representing President Trump disbarred.

Nancy Pelosi has reportedly begun rallying Democrats in the event the House is called upon to decide the 2020 presidential election. The House is constitutionally provided the privilege of selecting the president in the unlikely event of an Electoral College tie.  A "contingent election" such as this has not happened since 1824, and happened only once before that in 1800, so there is some confusion about what it actually entails.

This seems like a perfect opportunity to have a discussion about "privilege." Video footage appears to show Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a shuttered San Francisco hair salon, despite local orders shuttering salons. You'll also notice that while the stylist on camera is wearing a mask, Speaker Pelosi is not.
