“The Supreme Court follows the election returns”

“No matther whether th’ constitution follows h’ flag or not, th’ Supreme Coort follows th’ election returns” wrote Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) in 1901, through his comic character Mr. Dooley. The language has often been cleaned up to say “the Supreme Court follows the election returns” or “judges follow the election returns” or “the Supreme Court reads the elections returns.” The statement means that judges often tailor their decisions to currently popular social and political trends, sometimes without proper regard for the Constitution.

Finley Peter Dunne’s saying gained quick popularity and is still quoted by politicians and the judiciary.

Roberts made such a fine, pettyfogging argument in not overturning Obamacare ( "a tax"), the people should decide by the political process, in so many words. Here clearly, the prosecution had convinced the Manhattan jury of leftists to go along with their novel incitements, but that came up before a greater jury on November 5 and was soundly rejected. Well, here, the Supreme Court should have followed the election returns. This is like the refs in the infamous 1972 Olympic basketball gold medal final, where they put 2 seconds back on the clock after the final buzzer, so that USSR could score the winning basket. Only in this case, the refs look even stupider, because they're letting the Dems take another shot, but they are too far behind for it to make any difference. Except to insure that the hunt post 1/20 will be even more heated.

Imagine the arrogant justices.

First the Dems really hate them due to such things as overturning Roe.

Now the conservatives Trump supporters hate them.

Heads on a swivel, sleep with one eye open, keep up the Simpli-Safe payments and make sure the security agents are okay in the dark yard outside the house.
Make a run for the Panic Room.

Roberts better come down with an incapacitating migraine about 11:59 AM on the twentieth

Traitor Roberts doesn’t want to be an 0bama/Bushie judge....

Merchan gives proof to this idea.But the problem is that Merchan predicted wrongly in reading the election returns.

Now Merchan is the laughing stock of the State of New York’s judicial system, and so is driven to leave a lasting scar on President elect Trump.

What would Samuel Adams do? He would tar and feather Merchan and hang him on a flag pole by his arms.

The point is: Judges often misread the election returns.

Both Roberts and Merchan are guilty in this regard.Neither deserve to stay in their respective judicial offices.

Soon the People will demand their absence.
