CHAD PERGRAM (CORRESPONDENT): Will some of those Republicans from both the House and Senate, will they back down and say, "Okay, you know, enough of this, we're gonna certify the Electoral College now"? That's unclear at this hour, Lou.



LOU DOBBS (HOST): Yeah. A -- a lot is unclear, but one thing always clear, congressmen and women tend to be melodramatic when it serves their time and opportunity to be on camera and to speak to the folks back home.

It sounds like it will extend rather than curtail the process. It is good to know that they are committed to doing the people's business, and we wish them Godspeed and get on with it.
