I predict right here that five originalist judges will decline to grant cert on the grounds that this is a nonjusticeable political question, and that Amy Coney Barrett will write the decision.
Why not Alito writing the opinion?
It’s a tragic day if the Supreme Court considers a stolen presidential election a purely political question not in need of remedy. A tragic day indeed.
Followed by countless posts declaring that ACB was blackmailed.
I agree with you as to the denial of cert. But even if they do accept the case, the only issue before the Court is whether the lower court erred in denying the second request for amendment of the complaint. No new evidence can be presented, indeed evidence is not presented to an appeals court. So the very best outcome at the Supreme Court is a finding of error and remand to the trial court to allow the complaint to be amended.
Unfortunately, I agree with you. Trump hasn’t gone with the best legal advice possible and this looks like a disaster in the making.
Equal protection is a nonjustible political question?
