Maybe they are trying to protect the judge from the mob and the Deep State. He might be protecting himself with that biased rebuke too.
You can bet that no lower court judge feels qualified to decide something this big and his actions, and his biased rebuke, will only serve to get this quickly heard in a higher court.
The nation isn’t going to accept an opinion from anything less than the full SCOTUS bench. The faster it gets there the better.
The Supreme Court should rule 9-0 on any Election 2020 matters.
