As much as I didn’t like this myself, I could easily see how the precedent to challenge future elections would become a legal slugfest between states without end... and we would never have a winner again on Nov 4.
It shouldn’t be the Supreme court’s job to oversee what was clearly an enforcement issue. This was Massive fraud here. That is clearly an executive function to deny benefit of that fraud.
It was the state legislature’s jobs to fix this issue with the electors... and they punted.
Now it’s up to the US Congress to fix this... and the president’s job to prosecute it.
Evidently some of the justices saw it how we did.
If not the worst court it stands a good chance of being the last.
Thomas A. Berry is a research fellow at the Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies and managing editor of the Cato Supreme Court Review.
I think its become abundantly clear they want to go on "the hell bound course" at full speed ...
Another “expert” with an opinion.
We are just as capable of having an opinion as he is.
Cato Institute? Libertarian. Not sure if that fits Republican or Anarchist ideals the best.
All it really means to me is that he has time to overthink things and reason for both sides of the fence.
My retort to this bilge:
Penumbras and emanations.
While he may be legally correct, not a lawyer so I can’t speak to that, my objection was him believing that this is all normal and that a free United states will still be around for many decades to come. Is he really that stupid?
I’m supposed to read about it in order to realize where we are headed. For what reason would I do this?

Upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
By your standards Franklin was also a quitter then because he foresaw the fragility of the republic and the Constitution.
Remember, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. That in itself is a good reason to study the fall of Rome and the history of other governments — because there is nothing new under the sun.
Bull. I voted according to the rules and regs of voting in my Texas county. My vote was cancelled out by false and fraudulent votes in 4 different states. This was a national election and my vote was invalidated by corruption.
Texas and other states had standing but the Supremes have either been compromised or threatened.
Yes, they do, but those courts all refused to hear evidence and pretty much summarily dismissed the President’s suits. So again, what is the remedy? Short of revolution, there isn’t any. And guaranteed there won’t be a revolution.
I’m not sure he is either legally correct or wants to be. It is his opinion and that seems to be all that the law boils down to, opinions.
I object to what he has to say in general and it is foolish to think that the Constitution will endure the way we are going or that the nation will survive in any form that we might have recognized just 50 years ago.
There are news fools who claim there has been absolutely no fraud or irregularity. You have to be blind and deaf to believe that or a liar and a crook.
