Yeah, but a little bit of a different connotation I'd say.

It's very clearly satirical.

The fact that he's saying it instead of publishing is how you know he's not for real

Kind of amazing how there's so many knee-jerk reactions in here from people who don't bother to read or understand the situation. Almost like the senator has brought light to a situation that many people were either unaware of or willfully ignorant of. Amazing how it's people's reactions that convince you of the veracity of a story more than the story itself.

This isn't the government cracking down, this is the senator writing a letter. There's no force of government behind this. It's simply someone in power bringing light to a problem. A problem that we all should acknowledge exists, because it's very easy to verify.

How would suing the ICE right now help? Trump isn't in office yet so why would they have the plans.

I think you're missing my point. That would be true after they are sworn in. The hypothetical in question here was before they are sworn in. We have no precedent for this scenario.

Also Ford would have received the votes as vice president from the Electoral College. The College votes for both the president and the vice president.

Right? That was my first thought when I saw this, I thought that was Dante and Randall.

Johnson doesn't just move up into a new job. They'd have to pick a new vice president. They could pick Johnson I suppose, I don't know why he would want to be the vice president when he is Speaker of the House though. Now the question is how they pick a new vice president, because I don't believe there's any precedent to guide that. Would they have to nominate one in Congress and have them vote on him? That's what they would do if the vice president already been sworn in, but since he wouldn't have been at that point I don't know there's any real way of knowing. You can make an argument that the RNC would be able to just name one, but again there's no precedent.
