If SCOTUS or Pence did what we (selfishly) wanted them to do, then...
- military would NOT have been the only way
- there would have been no CHECKMATE
- no CASTLE ROCK
- no RED 1..6
- no fence around the Capitol (owl in fence, when does a bird sing)
- no Great Awakening (Trump would be President-Select for half the country)
So... are SCOTUS and Pence traitors? Maybe... but their inaction are not proof of that. So far, their inaction are perfectly consistent with THE PLAN.
I came to this conclusion a few days ago, it's the only thing that made sense. Trump is an actor, and he put on a great performance.
