What future? The Administration of the Thief and Ho has not yet begun their work on destroying America. And they have fools by the millions [they have passed the idiot stage] ready willing and able to do their dirty work for them. If you think that it had been bad up to now, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
and for those who believe we need to elect republiCANT’S because judges...
your argument is invalid
Fixed it.
That one is up there with,"Yeah, Baby, I will still respect you in the morning..." or perhaps, "I just mailed you a check this morning." In other words, total caca de toro. But the Republican Party got a lot of mileage from them.
SCrOTUS = a ball-less sack of sh!t.
The Supreme Court: Cowards, Crooks, or Compromised?
YES!
Cowards
Crooks
Compromised
All of the above
Twenty short years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court took Bush v. Gore, a presidential election case.
Time to take Trump’s case a recall is in order things are going to hell at a high rate of speed China is breathing down out neck and ready for action.
All China Joe can say hey I got my mine.
The cases that went in front of them wasn't to determine the elections, it was uphold states voting laws that were blatently being violated by Govenors and Secretarys of State making election law that had no power to interfere with state election law. I mean this was a simple reading of the Constitution to see who has the power to make election law; the state legislatures, which SCOTUS ignored. SCOTUS are cowards, living in fear of Roberts. However Kavenaugh and Barrett I feel are totally worthless picks.
A better precedent for the author of this piece would have been the infamous U.S. Senate election in New Jersey in 2002. In that fiasco, the incumbent Democrat (Robert Torricelli) was mired in a political corruption scandal and seemed likely to lose in the general election to his Republican challenger. So the Democratic Party in New Jersey (which happened to control the state legislature and the governor's office at the time) decided to replace him on the ballot with the previously-retired fossil Frank Lautenberg after the ballot deadline established under state law had passed.
The Republican Party filed suit in Federal court to overturn this, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take the case. Antonin Scalia wrote the Court's explanation for this refusal. He said the move may have been totally illegal under New Jersey law, but because it didn't involve any violation of Federal election laws or civil/voting rights protections under Federal law, there was no reason for a Federal court to get involved in this process.
His message to the people of New Jersey was simple: "If these are the kinds of @ssholes you want in your state government, then either YOU deal with them or just shut the hell up."
Honestly Alberta, I’m looking at this from the Constitutional aspect on who has the sole power to write election laws. If SCOTUS had heard the cases and it ment votes thrown out, so be it. As it is now State legislators are passing bills on mail in ballots, voter ID and voter registration in the states that violated initial law. So the $64,000 question is, since democraps know SCOTUS is too gutless to defends state legislatures right to enact voting law, what prevents a democrap governor and Sec State from repeating it over and over say 2022 and 2024?
If you want to make sure elections are airtight, just have Republican voters game the system in 2024 the same way the Democrats have in the past. This is already happening in California with its stupid "ballot harvesting" law ... which is why the GOP has been successful in recapturing House seats it lost in 2018 there.
So then that boils down to the real question. If laws are made at the state level and state election officials can violate them, what the point of SCOTUS? The law is the law they are final arbitors of law. Doesn’t have an “* void if it concerns elections.” SCOTUS can find gay marrage rights that dont exist. Baby killing rights when it doesn’t exist, but can be bothered with violations of Constitutional protected states legislature rights to make election law when it does exist? That dog dont hunt.
The SCOTUS is only the final arbiter of Federal law.
And even then, most Federal laws are blatantly unconstitutional in that they violate the explicit terms of the Tenth Amendment.
