If there is a 7-2 ruling it pretty much always them.
It’s strange how Kagan and Breyer have shown sentience on matters of law even if only a handful of times in the last year.
Liberal judges have bucked their ideological agenda in a case. Break out the party hats.
I thought Trump remade the 9th circuit.
“If it were Gore Vs Bush today, Gore would’ve been appointed in a heartbeat.”
Nobody talks about the tens of thousands of military absentee ballots in Florida that should have been counted in close call elections (i.e. Bush vs Gore Florida recount) but conveniently came up missing and have never been found.
I think he just filled all the vacancies. It’s still overpopulated with loons.
“If it were Gore Vs Bush today, Gore would’ve been appointed in a heartbeat.”
Baloney.
The USSC slapped down the Florida SC 7-2 twice then 9-0.
The FSC literally gave the finger to the USCS in effect saying ‘It’s our state and we can count our ballots any way we want and YOU can’t stop us!’
That’s when the 9-0 decision came from the USSC.
Even Roberts would vote against similar arrogance.
I doubt she is capable of functioning and her clerks are casting their votes and opinions.

“...I bet her reward will be significantly warmer than summertime in DC....”
Lil’ Ruthie has been one of his best and most loyal demons. The Big Daddy may go easy on it....but I doubt it. There’s a special place reserved just for it.
In the comments, its claimed that the minority two votes came from Sotomayer and Ginsburg.
“There are no political judges.” (Roberts)
Riiiight.
State Legislatures are the sole source of authority in the appointment of Electors. The resulting Electoral College is the sole source of authority in the election of a President and a Vice President. And a special joint session of the new Congress is the sole source of authority for the counting of electoral votes and the certification of a winner.
Courts have NOTHING TO DO WITH ALL OF THIS, ON PURPOSE.
If the USSC had declined to hear Bush v. Gore, George W. Bush would have been inaugurated on January 20, 2001, there was NO SCENARIO (except the Republican House electing Al Gore) whereby Gore could have become President - and the "crisis" would have had the great benefit of allowing our Constitutional processes to work.
If the Constitution had been allowed to work, there was a small chance that Joe Lieberman could have become Vice President, which might not have been an altogether bad thing.
Is it possible that Kamala fail to be certified for inclusion on the ballot in any of the various states?
“Is it possible that Kamala fail to be certified for inclusion on the ballot in any of the various states?”
No.
Bush v. Gore was a nonjusticeable political question which had a perfect solution specified by the Constitutional process of electing a President and Vice President, the USSC has no authority to hear the case and if the Constitution has been followed it was not possible for Gore to become President.
Depending on the outcome of the vote counting session in Congress in January 6, 2001 there was a small possibility that Joe Lieberman would have become Vice President.
“The USSC slapped down the Florida SC 7-2 twice then 9-0.”
Neither court had any legitimate role to play in the outcome of Florida’s appointment of its 54 Electors.
The Florida Legislature (which appoints the Electors) was in session with large Republican majorities in both houses and was prepared to appoint Electors. There was no justiceable question for any court to hear, because the Florida legislature was the fount of authority for the issue at hand.
Of course, the idiot reporter never bothered to mention a case name. I looked through the supreme Court’s website and find no opinions issued in August. The last full opinion of the court was issued a month ago on 7/14.
Thanks for posting a link to the actual order. I couldn’t find it. Should have read through the thread first. :-)
