BTW, you may be interested in the article I wrote about Section 3 less than a week after January 6. It's at this link, and was part of a larger colloquy there. cato-unbound.org/2021/0…
Excellent read. Thanks for sharing. "even the best-designed governmental system is subject to being gamed and subverted by actors who exploit its incompleteness or inconsistency." That right there is the heart of the matter.
You'll laugh, but I had totally forgotten having written that piece until late last year--then got back to it as public interest in Section 3 began to rise up again.
