U.S. Supreme Court dumps last of Trump's election appeals
Reuters ^ | 03/08/2021 | Lawrence Hurley

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday disposed of the last of three cases brought to the justices by former President Donald Trump challenging his election loss, bringing a muted end to his quixotic quest in the courts that had been aimed at holding onto power.

The court without comment rejected Trump’s appeal challenging thousands of absentee ballots filed in Wisconsin, an election battleground that the Republican businessman-turned-politician lost to Democrat Joe Biden by more than 20,000 votes. Biden became president on Jan. 20.

It was the last of three petitions filed at the Supreme Court near the end of Trump’s presidency that the justices declined to take up. The court on Feb. 22 turned away Trump’s other two appeals - a second Wisconsin challenge and one relating to voting in Pennsylvania, another pivotal state Trump lost. Lower courts previously had ruled against Trump in those three cases.

It already was clear that the high court, which includes three justices appointed by Trump, had no intention to intervene in the cases and others filed by his allies because it did not act before Congress on Jan. 6 certified Biden’s victory. That formal certification was interrupted when a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.

The court on Monday also turned away another election related case filed by Trump ally Lin Wood, who had asked the justices to block the Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections in Georgia. The court never acted on the request and Democrats won both races, giving them narrow control of the Senate.

Bringing a shameful end to any legitimacy the Supremacist Court false gods in black dresses have at upholding the Constitution or their authority to protect it.

But at least Kavanaugh, Barrett and Roberts get to keep their decoder rings from the insider club. So it’s not all bad news.

So the steal is now official and complete and any question of it will not be reviewed?

Our president select can let his guard down unbarricade the Whitehouse and take questions from the public?

Supreme Court is a joke. Pathetic and nothing to do with the constitution. It’s about time the constitution started getting interpreted by people who aren’t trained swamp lawyers.

They shouldn’t be vetted by whomever was vetting Trump judge picks. I want regular people interpreting the constitution.

They do have the power. They either refuse to use it or are afraid to.

In the US government and SCOTUS, is there a more personally and professionally compromised and treasonous group of people?

This Court has signaled it will NOT act if it perceives violence will result from its ruling. Republicans need to understand this implicit message.

one conclusion:

“judge” Roberts is terrified this will LEAD
to his conspiracy to murder a real JUSTICE,
and to his wifesy and Epstein Island.
