Mainstream media and social media legal “scholars” have been celebrating a decision by Justice Samuel Alito. After accepting U.S. Congressman Mike Kelly’s petition challenging the results of the presidential election, Justice Alito set a deadline of December 9th for the state to respond. It’s a conspicuous date since the so-called “Safe Harbor” date for picking electors is December 8th.
This has been interpreted by nearly everyone as an indication the Supreme Court does not want to get involved with the election shenanigans, and that very well may be the case. But in this particularly scenario, it would behoove a reluctant Supreme Court to act quickly and decisively if they do not want to get involved because this petition has many challenges. It’s likely to be thrown out, as lower courts have, because the decisions in question have been in place for months but Pennsylvania Republicans did not act until after President Trump appeared to lose. This calls into question their motivation and resolve; a quick dismissal by the Supreme Court would play towards their perceived stance of not wanting to get involved.
By slow-playing this petition, it’s very possible Justice Alito is giving Republicans an open door to contest not only the election results but the electors as well. Below is the provision for “Safe Harbor” in which I highlighted two relevant pieces of information.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!! Michigan State Judge orders forensic inspection of Antrim County election machines, and prohibits the destruction of evidence relating to the 2020 election. #StopTheSteaI
BTTT
Oh please
One can argue everyone has been severely conditioned to “trust the process” despite concerns on certain issues
Now that overwhelking cheating evidence exists in many forms, in many states, people finally see they cannot and have to abandon the naive notion that our elections are fair and clean
Bump
Just Antrim?

There was the article posted on FR last night which said the Republicans did not have standing to challenge a statute until after they’ve been harmed, not before. Now we’re told that laches (too late to challenge). The judicial and electoral machinery is corrupt. We’re supposed to sit down and shut up, and eat the crap sandwich the dems are feeding us. Were I younger........
Gotta start somewhere ... hopefully it’s a good sign!
The 8th? I’ve read several articles where the absolute final day is the 14th. And this is the Supreme Court, if they say the process will continue thru the 9th, then it will.
People are reading too much into something that was not said.
They can’t never just do their damn jobs? Their paychecks are cashing, right? This would be a political move by a branch that’s supposed to stay apolitical. I know they do politics all the time, but usually those moves come from the left.
“overwhelking”
What do you have against Whelks?
I hage my tabelt :)
Get it?
The answer is NO.
Thoughtful article, but the “trap” in the headline gets a LOL!
The POTUS election was deadlined for November 3, 2020 and they are still counting bogus ballots.
If 5-7 swing states do not make the 12-08-2020 electoral deadline...then everyone waits.
I guess seashells and their denizens give ‘evidence’
:-)
They damn well better get involved.
The Supreme Court is the primary target of the prog.
.
The courts are not going to alter the outcome at this point. This is all just running out the clock on procedural motions so nothing can be done.
The Republican Party wants Trump gone and they’re going to kick him out the door. The GOP needs to be destroyed for this and that is exactly what should be the focus for the next four years.
I think it’s phones.
I work all the time with people who communicate entirely on cellphones. The results are often hilarious.
