>>Just my guess. No judge will overturn the election no matter how this turns out.<<

I concur. It reminds me of tax protesters going to court. Judges do not even want to hear their evidence and basically say “everybody has to pay taxes” and throw their case out, even if it may have merit.

A good reason is that a win by one of them could collapse the economy and the country.

Likewise here. Think Watts times 10,000. It would be HUGE. It would make the “Bush stole Florida” croud look like pikers.

That is not an option.

But here is the thing that everyone is forgetting: this issue goes to the very heart of the power of the Judiciary. By allowing this to slide by, they would be instantly ceding ground in the eternal struggle between the Executive and Judicial branches.

The Court is the most powerful branch of government. It has not always been that way. They aren’t going to kneel before the Executive branch just so some hoodlums won’t riot.

We should all take a few minutes to read the bios of the Justices on Wikipedia... these people aren’t nearly the wimps that people on this board make them out to be. They may not always rule the way we want, but they have worked very hard to rise to the top of a very competitive profession and are more jealous of power than anyone else in Washington.

This isn’t about Birth Certs, Natural Born Citizenship, Riots or Race... It is about power.
