What’s Going on with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts? Even Soros Cheered Roberts at Davos
GP ^ | December 19, 2020 | Joe Hoft

These past few weeks the dysfunction of the Supreme Court has come to a head. The Court, led by Chief John Roberts, has removed itself from getting involved in the 2020 election. Something’s not right.

The manner in which Chief Justice Roberts runs the Supreme Court is a travesty. It is corrupt. He doesn’t uphold the rule of law, he breaks it.

A week ago the Supreme Court threw out the Texas case which more than 20 states joined in support. This was the first case on the 2020 election based on its merits. It was shocking that the three new Trump judges would not vote to hear the case. This decision led legal legend Lin Wood to share the following tweet:

But, to my point, I believe the only “relief” the petitioners even asked for was for the state legislature to be directed to reconsider the vote tally.

I think that's being too specific.

I think the relief being asked for was a finding from the Supreme Court that the election was conducted unconstitutionally and the certification was overturned.

That's it.

Once SCOTUS does that, then US Code takes over.

The goals was to invoke 3 U.S. Code § 2.Failure to make choice on prescribed day:

Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.

The Supreme Court wouldn't be asked to direct the legislatures to do anything. That's already in US Code. All they needed was for SCOTUS to set aside the certification on Constitutional grounds, and then let the law take over.

This is where 3 U.S. Code § 5.Determination of controversy as to appointment of electors would have come into play (focus on the bold to read past the prepositional phrases):

If any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination of any controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such State, by judicial or other methods or procedures, and such determination shall have been made at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, such determination made pursuant to such law so existing on said day, and made at least six days prior to said time of meeting of the electors, shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution, and as hereinafter regulated, so far as the ascertainment of the electors appointed by such State is concerned.

This says that if SCOTUS (or any court) rules that the Electors were appointed unconstitutionally, that is binding and the legislature are free to follow § 2.

It's clear that SCOTUS knew this, because Alito originally set the hearing date for December 9 and moved it to December 8 to meet the safe harbor deadline in § 5. Then they refused to hear the case, because § 5 would have given the legislature the authority to exercise § 2 if SCOTUS ruled on the merits.

I’m sure John Roberts got a chunk of change deposited in his Maltese bank account.

They don’t “need” that. They can set aside the tally for whatever reason they find sufficient.

Obviously I’m not being clear. My apologies.

If you're saying that the legislature didn't "need" it, I believe they would have been attacked by the MSM as going rogue with out.

The legislature "needed it" to satisfy US 3 Chapter 1 S 5, which would have given them the imprimatur of legitimacy to act.

“§ 5 would have given the legislature the authority to exercise § 2 if SCOTUS ruled on the merits.”

but they already have that authority! From the Constitution.

Yeah, the media is - at least big media- foreign influence garbage that will tell US citizens whatever lie profits big media and I agree all counter-facts are helpful.
OK, the SC had a chance to produce proof that could help the legislatures- but so do many other courts.

I agree that they had it from the Constitution, but US Code codifies the Constitution into statutes. Why not have that on your side?

The Constitution is a short limited-powers framework that is constantly being interpreted. Why not also have the specific unambiguous statute on your side, too?

At the time, were Biden & Clinton “far left?” I would not have said so.

I would have said so. Biden, for all his claims of moderation, has been considerably to the left of most Democrats in the Senate, and Hillary Clinton has never been what I would call a "moderate".

They both have shown themselves to have no morals or ethics other than seeking power. They seem to have little to no self discipline.

I believe your view of reality is mistaken.

For the last 55 years, the Media has been the most powerful force in the Nation.

They have been ideologically unified. They decided what candidates were acceptable, and what ones were not; they decided what was a scandal, and what was not, they decided what issues were important, and what not, and they "set the narrative" or how to look at issues.

This gave them the power to destroy McCarthy, get rid of Nixon, lose the Vietnam war on the edge of victory.

The Media have not been primarily after money, they have been determined to remake society.

Since roughly 1990, because of technology and growing awareness of the public, alternative media has been challenging them.

I disagree on Roberts rulings being moderate acceptable rulings. He had to tie himself into a knot on the Obamacare ruling. It makes zero sense.
If it is true and he said that the mf would never be reelected, he must resign.
All Judges are to be vetted. Too many questions linger over his children’s adoption. Investigation is warranted. Regular people don’t get two infants born months apart from overseas.
