To quote myself —
Here’s how it will go:
Chief Justice: “Okay, folks. How many want to be known, forever, for affecting the results of yet another election, this one against a very sizable and clear majority of voters?”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“And nay. All right. Next item....”
God help us! The justices need to concern themselves more with the rule of LAW (you know..that quaint, outdated old thing) than what people will “think” about a ruling.
I really miss the days we used to do things that way.
“Here’s how it will go:”
WOW, do you use tea leaves or is a ball involved.
Do you think that the justices are afraid of being known for having influence? I don’t. It’s possible that they revel in their power. I don’t really know. I certainly doubt that they shrink from it, though.
If it were me, I would worry more about being known for allowing a non-citizen to assume the Presidency when I could have stopped it. An anti-American non-citizen with VERY strong ties to admitted terrorists.
Maybe he really is a citizen, but he has to prove it. The cloud of doubt hanging over him will continue to hang over his Presidency if he fails to show the BC. The court should force that issue.
This has nothing to do with “stealing” an election and everything to do with upholding the Constitution. I’m pretty sure the justices are all for upholding the Constitution, regardless of their political leanings.
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“And nay. All right. Next item....”
I think there is a 50/50 chance they will take the case. Unlike Bush vs. Gore, there is tangible evidence out there that proves one side of the case. All they have to do is order the release of the document. They don't have to comment on it one way or the other. That evidence WILL see the light of day at some point in time. Eventually the truth will come out. History is a harsh judge. None of them want to be on the wrong side of that.
