Deja Vous: Replace the judge with Justice Roberts, replace Dershowitz with Clarance "but John, that would be the end of democracy" Thomas, replace Chauvin with the Dominion/mail-ins and replace Floyd with Trump.
As I recall, Chief justice Roberts was heard to have snookered the 3 "conservative" justices including Barrett to not take the election case, and to not want to be responsible for riots in the streets if they upheld The Steal.
I thought about that very same comparison yesterday afternoon after the verdict had been read.
