In the end, the blizzard of lawsuits from President Donald Trump’s campaign will amount to nothing beyond a megaphone for disinformation about the integrity of the 2020 election. As destructive as the president’s attempts to undermine democracy are, the most lasting damage to America’s election system is likely to come instead from a series of Supreme Court rulings that appear perfunctory but actually could restrict voters’ rights for years to come....
Until these rulings, federal courts across the country had generally responded to the pandemic by expanding voting access, applying well-established legal doctrines to evaluate burdens to voting rights under the Constitution. Their decisions mainly allowed more voters to take advantage of mail voting and to have safe ballot drop-off and voting locations. Election officials adapted their systems accordingly, and voters requested and received ballots in keeping with the new procedures....
Second, and even more dangerous, five of the court’s justices have signed onto opinions endorsing a brand new legal theory—that the Constitution gives state legislatures virtually untrammeled authority to set voting rules for federal elections, no matter how arbitrary or unreasonable. This previously discredited theory, which was first articulated by three justices in one of the cases concerning the 2000 presidential election recount in Florida, could insulate most anti-voter laws—from arbitrary voting restrictions to burdensome registration requirements—from constitutional review by federal courts.

The left isn’t going to be NAERLY satisfied that biden won.
They want wholesale destruction of the US.
So, looking from their point of view, the SCOTUS MUST be destroyed or rendered ineffective.
Got one dem senator who said he won’t under any circumstances vote for more justices.
So whatever happens in FL, biden won’t get to appoint new judges.
And that will lead to massive ciolence every time the Supremes make an unpopular (to the left) decision
Hmmn.....Politico has not updated it’s election returns site since Election day. Screw you....Politico...you butt wipes and Traitor/Turncoats tpo our great american Republic!!!
When the disinformation campaign cranks up rather than just acting as it is a done deal...someone is getting nervous.
The Constitution outlines all of this.
The riots this year were a warmup.
Steal the election and now the threat of violence if the courts do anything to stop it.
Need to secure the win at SCOTUS and then mass arrests quickly when the riots begin. Shut it down quickly.
This is a continuation of the Color Revolution tools of DS aimed at the United States. Watch the Plot Against the President documentary. This is a continuation of the coup that started when Trump became the nominee.
When it comes to choosing electors for the President, the Constitution declares its the state legislatures that have the final authority. Judges don’t have the final say. Complaining about the Supreme Court’s decision to overrule some judges is wrong.

“Brand new” to any MSM drone who never actually read the U.S. Constitution.
I’ve always said my only requirement for judges is the ability to read the English language, as written.
Nothing more.
You are absolutely right. Their preferred plan was to suppress all talk of cheating with the Dominion machines and the cheat-by-mail ballots, while at the same time gaslighting everyone to accept 'president-elect' Biden as a done deal.
It's not working. 80 million people voted for Trump and we are mad as hell if this election was stolen, and we want to get to the bottom of the fraud.
Q: Why couldn’t the legislature been called to a special session to deal with voting during a pandemic?
A: Because Democrats.
It is important to emphasize that disfranchisement of voters happens in TWO ways: one, when a person is denied a vote; and two, when a person’s vote is nullified by an illegal vote. More votes does not mean that fewer people have been disenfranchised.
I have no idea why there is a presumption of legality in a vote or a vote tally.
What about the breathtakingly irresponsible flame-throwing of two nitwit arrogant “journalists” Wendy and Daniel” in delegitimizing the highest court in the land??
What about the breathtaking irresponsibly to incite American citizens into a chaotic spiral of distrust and fear over the Supreme Court when you know Wendy and Daniel are biased leftists having done no deep analytical due diligence in arriving at their emotionally unhinged attack on the the president to rightfully investigate this train wreck of an election.
What about the breathtakingly irresponsible threats on Supreme Court Justice’s lives that could be incited from Wendy girl’s and Danny boy’s fun editorial torpedo?
Assuming Trump does get a 2nd term as he should, I think if I were him I’d barricade the WH and start swinging the big stick. Dozens of new EOs, fire at least 100 deep staters every day, as many new judges as Mitch has cocaine to do, fire Fauci and put Dr. Adams in charge of covid, and tell the media to just make up the news as they’ll do so anyway.
Go freakin’ medieval. As long as they’re going to hate everything he does he might as well give them a damn good reason.
“When it comes to choosing electors for the President, the Constitution declares its the state legislatures that have the final authority. Judges don’t have the final say. “
The founders adopted the principal of legislative control of the electoral process with the same intent that they specified legislative approval of constitutional amendments.
They wanted the states, as broadly represented by their legislatures, to have the final say.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
What unmitigated BS.
The lower courts stupidly allowed an untested, faulty, unsecure and fraudulently error prone system to be enacted in WEEKS and this is somehow “expanding voting rights?” BS. It makes the election unprovable and destroys faith in the accuracy of the count. (Although I’d argue this is what the communists want)
But to then follow up and say that the Supreme Court is going to “restrict” rights by upholding THE CONSTITUTION and allowing the state legislatures to decide their electors is just outright pure ignorance about how our country works (but again, not surprising from these twitter educated idiots).
The President is the president of the STATES - not the PEOPLE.
Can these two statements be proven?
“Trump won the largest non-white vote share for a Republican presidential candidate in 60 years. Biden underperformed Hillary Clinton in every major metro area around the country, save for Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia.”
If so, then there is good reason to doubt the legitimacy of the 2020 Presdiential election.
‘So the most lasting damage to America’s election system is likely to come instead from a series of Supreme Court rulings that appear perfunctory but actually could restrict voters’ rights for years to come....’
Going by the constitution is ‘breathtakingly radical’?
One can tell they are really scared!
And scared they should be!
My word of advice to them is -
enjoy a few more days of your fake president elect. Your lies will come crashing down on you and you will have no place to hide!
