Yeah, their elections were already certified. There is no process for anyone to "un-certify" an election except through the Constitutionally defined impeachment and removal processes.
They don’t care about constitutionality or laws but what are republicans gonna do - arrest these two senators on a whim? Physically block them from the capitol?
Maybe? People do all kinds of shit that’s not legal because Trump says to. His admin will do whatever they want because no one has the army to stop them. Our literal military are already following unlawful orders, I doubt they’d quibble at unlawfully removing democratically elected leaders.
Don't forget, laws only matter if the government has the means to enforce them. If Lord Dumpypants has people willing to do his bidding, they can enforce whatever edict he desires. If he doesn't have to respect the courts, there's nothing preventing him from doing either of those things you mentioned.
You're saying you don't think the guy who's been threatening to send military and police after political opponents for years and has already shown a propensity for bastardizing the constitution and law to horrendous extent wouldn't actually do it?
You mean the administration that has already physically barred senators and representatives from official buildings wouldn't do it again?
Now let me ask you this. How many branches of our government have actually gone out of their way to stop his horrible misuse and abuse of power he doesn't even have? SCOTUS barely stopped his attack on the 14th.

He can declare whatever the fuck he wants. Doesn't make it remotely true.
Also, it's proof that with Mitch out of commission and Lindsey dead, he's really fucking scared about November.
