The old Lawyer axiom. “It is not what you know, it is what you can prove”. In this election, you can add the addendum, “You can’t prove it if it is not allowed to be presented”. In other words, the SC has become a Kangaroo Court.

I heard that SCOTUS Roberts feared riots and that was the reason he did not permit the hearing; he also told the junior members they have no say in his decision - I guess the rest kowtowed (posted on FR a week or so ago).
But its true: not one court case has heard any of the evidence.
If true, his concern is touching, but insincere to say the least. Where was his concern about the riots that burned cities this past year? What does he fear more, riots as the Republican form of govt is restored and integrity of the election process is restored, or the accelerated move into a totalitarian form of govt where eventually an institution like the SCOTUS is done away with? Think carefully, Roberts.

Repeat: IF ROBERTS REJECTED CASE BECAUSE HE FEARED RIOTS - he has violated his oath to office, making a judgment not because of its merits, but because of how people might react to a decision.
This is evil.
He needs to resign immediately.
Someone needs to tell him this. Alito? Thomas? Barrett?
