The lower courts see SCOTUS as weak and timid; easily manipulated.

In 2020 dozens of cases alleging voter fraud were dismissed due to lack of standing. Despite the fact the plaintiffs argued they suffered injury in that voting fraud essentially cancelled their vote. But not finding a landscape pleasing is sufficient injury to confer standing. The system is rigged.

My “ass”umption (holiday inn express) is that entities with a vested interest in a subject would have “standing “. If said object is being privately funded, would only donors have “standing”? If tax dollars are being used then the public would have “standing”. May just be me. Or because it is on public land, does that add a new monkey wrench? Saskt, it’s not like other POTUS’ haven’t had alterations done and nary a peep.

Would you want Chicago’s Obamanation to have been built on White House grounds?

On Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and the White House?

As a non-lawyer, I am constantly irritated by this issue of “Standing” in legal action, particularly in the case of seeing litigation on presidential federal election fraud dismissed for “no standing”.

That was infuriating. Now, I know why much of that litigation failed, and I don’t fault the people trying to do it all that much, because they had zero time in which to do it before statutes made it all moot.

We all understand that, don’t we? The Left certainly did. They knew that if they could obfuscate, delay, and generally gum up the works, that each election milestone after the November election would come and go, and it would make their perfidy even more of a fait accompli that would not, or could not be undone.

They knew that intimately, and that was part of their plan. They knew that two weeks after the election, “this” would have to happen. Then a week later, “that” would have to happen, and a month later, some “other” thing would be mandatory.

And the way that played out, it was January 6th which was the last point at which anything could have been done within the bounds of the Constitution to prevent the stolen election, and even more so, it is both easy and reasonable to understand why many people view January 6th as a setup for what happened on that day.

I most certainly do. The Left knew what it was doing. I don’t fault anyone for going to Washington DC to protest. I very nearly went myself, but I had specific work deadlines and responsibilities, so I could not go in the end.

You hear people say all the time on this forum that they knew it was a setup and people should not have gone.

BS.

If the problem was compounded by having that take place, then if there were ever a time when a problem was worth compounding, it was that one. I am just sickened that those who DID stand up and try to do something about that travesty of an election were illegally and unfairly targeted by a weaponized DOJ, and if any of the suffering those people is worth anything, it is that it fully exposed that.

In the end, the Left used friendly courts and “Standing” to continually push things out until nothing could be done to reverse the theft of the election.

Thank you to Manhattan Contrarian for writing this, and thank you for posting it.

No one would be saying a thing - and in fact, praising the building of a ballroom, even using taxpayer dollars to do it (which Trump is not) - if it were Biden or Obama doing the building. Or any other Democrat.

Ditto for the falling-down Kennedy Center where part of the roof just collapsed.
