Blatant ex parte violation is also the way that Chief Justice Roberts chose to taint/flag the cases that SCOTUS conferred over, once SCOTUS refused to hear Donofrio v Wells. On the exact same day as SCOTUS decided not to hear Donofrio’s case on the merits, Roberts personally invited Obama to visit the SCOTUS, knowing the Berg case and others were lining up to be considered by SCOTUS. Never before had SCOTUS invited any President elect to visit SCOTUS; such meetings had always been initiated by the President elect, not the court. For a court to do so in this case is not only unprecedented, it is an ex parte violation since Roberts knew there was a long list of court cases that SCOTUS would eventually confer about.

Why do you suppose this happened?

#63 - Extremely thorough and very well deciphered, butter.
You’re such a whiz on the plausible scenarios of all these breathtaking, bloody judicial ins and outs.

I think Roberts wanted to put up red flags to show that something about the whole issue stinks. We all have known in our guts that something stinks about it, and part of that is because these judges have done stuff that violates the judicial code of ethics. We all thought it was because they were jerks. But I think if they were the jerks we thought they were they would have done everything in their power to make things NOT seem amiss; instead it seems like they’ve done everything in their power to show that things ARE amiss. We thought it was to make us mad, but I suspect it might have been to tell us we were right and to keep fighting, and perhaps even to give us grounds to eventually reverse the bad decisions they were threatened into making.

I don’t expect SCOTUS to take up any cases unless and until the power of Soros and his communist-Islamist cabal to destroy the economy is mitigated, for the same reason that the retired military leaders changed their tune on Lakin’s defense: if you force judges to make a decision under duress they will make bad decisions which the country will then be stuck with as precedent.

When the military leaders gave up on the eligibility defense, it signaled to me that they realized neither the military judicial system nor the civilian appeals system is free to make a truthful decision right now - for whatever reason. I don’t know what they know or how they know it, but I would imagine that they are connected to people who tell them things.

Saw an article this morning where this was tossed by an appeals judge.
