Most weekend golfers are familiar with the term “mulligan.” Many have probably even taken one or more.
The term was derived from an incident involving David Bernard Mulligan, a Canadian amateur golfer. Arriving late at the course, he hit a terrible shot off the first tee. Casually, he reached into his pocket, took out a new ball, placed it on the tee, and proceeded to take another shot. When asked what he was doing, he replied that since his first shot was so bad, he deserved a free chance at a second shot. This practice rapidly became known as “taking a mulligan,” and has since become part of the common vocabulary as the term for a “do-over.”
Many would argue that the Supreme Court had a terrible “first shot” in regards to the election of 2020, when they refused to become involved in the many issues raised by the Presidential election. Perhaps the most notable of these was Texas vs. Pennsylvania, in which the State of Texas asked that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin not be allowed to certify their 2020 election results because changes in their election procedures made by courts, governors, and election officials violated the Constitution, which rests the power to define the “times, places, and manner” of federal elections solely in the hands of state legislatures, an argument commonly referred to as the “Independent State Legislature” (ISL) theory.
The Court refused to consider the case, not on the merits of its argument, but on a technicality, claiming that Texas had not demonstrated a “judicially cognizable interest” in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.

Fortunately, there are several cases currently before the Supreme Court that offer them the opportunity for a “do-over.”
While all the things you just stated are in my opinion true. That’s not the reason for a ‘do over’.
Government direct involvement, including but not limited to financial payoffs, to control and censor free speech, is the prime reason. The secondary reason is that the Government failed in it’s responsibility to ensure the election was free and fair by following the evidence with an investigation. The issues were legally raised, and illegally ignored. Those are the reasons that need attention.
SCOTUS is rightfully concerned that the Communists will pack the court with more Communists. Only free elections can stop that.
Hearing is today, BTW.
Anyone who thinks SCOTUS will even consider the possibility that they were wrong by not blocking a fraudulent election is seriously delusional.
This is like the prosecutor asking the criminal for a confession.
The courts will not intervene in State matters and they won’t again.
People are understandably upset that they live under an occupation and are looking for something to cling on to.
So explain how a do-over would work. Entirely new elections or what exactly? Would that do-over include Congress as well?
The constitution makes no provision for a “do-over”. Thus there will NEVER be one.
They need to rule mail-in ballots unconstitutional. Only then can we have a chance at taking our country back at the ballot box. Clearly, mail-ins are rampantly fraudulent and illegal.
Here is my prediction. The Supreme Court will not grant a writ of certiorari. The case is a jumbled mess. It would take the Supreme Court where it has never gone before, in the entire history of the United States.
Some have claimed the Supreme Court has gone to extraordinary lengths to hear this case.
I do not see it. They have offered help to the pro se plaintiffs to show they are following all the procedural rules. That is the most I see here.
We should know by the end of the day. I will be very surprised if they grant a writ of certiorari in this case. If they deny a writ of certiorari, the case is finished, done, that is final.
Haven’t you noticed seriously delusional seems to be the order of the day?
Those, including the Supreme Court justices, who might contend that the Court lacks some sort of authority and should not assume authority not specifically assigned to it by the Constitution should consider the authority of the Court in outlawing the Democratic White Primary and School Segregation.
In fact, they should consider the entire assumption that the Supreme Court is the interpreter of the Constitution.
The fecklessness of the Supreme Court justices in refusing to examine the evidence of massive election fraud plunged the entire USA into the dangerous chaos which threatens its very survival.
The justices should immediately correct this outrageous mistake.
The Moore v Harper case is the one to watch.
Meanwhile on Brunson:
“The Court has accepted this case on an emergency basis and scheduled their first formal conference on it for Friday, January 6th. The Brunsons have expressed their opinion that, because the scope of such an action would be so broad and controversial, such a decision would have to have been reached in total secrecy, and therefore, they leave open the possibility that the majority of the Court will simply announce its decision during this conference.”
Waiting on the Supreme Court to remove the President, VP, and most of Congress is akin to waiting in Dealey Plaza for the dead Kennedys to reappear. Anyone outraged when the Court doesn’t take up the case needs to cut and paste the sections of the Constitution that gives the Court the power remove the Pres., VP, and to shut down Congress in the first place.
And thus begins the claims it was rigged.
Hence, the non-brunson case of the day: THe Pennsylvania case on mail-in ballots, also looking for cert.
And yet, there is a path for exactly that.
For example, consider the Act of 1871. NESARA passed by the *lawful* congress during clintoon's 'term' with the under the organic constitution, and with valid *original* 13th amendment congress.
Well, if the constitution were based on modern thought that would no doubt have been considered and we would have recourse under it. But the constitution we’ve got, as amended, delegates nearly total control over elections to the states without any check or balance to guard against fraud or misuse of that power. Because the founders would never have believed such safeguard were necessary to protect what every American considered to be their most sacred right and privilege.
The democrats knew that if they could control the election apparatus at the state level they could cheat and steal and get away with it because they also knew the Supreme Court would never engage in any extra-constitutional limitation of states power. They would say “if you don’t like the constitution as written, amend it”. We know how that would work out.
The other option is legislative - but how much could actually be done that would not be thrown out as unconstitutional even if the political will and votes were there in Congress to pass such legislation? It has been done before (17th amendment for example) - but the process is long and by no means guarantees a better outcome.
Lots of people on FR are pissed at Mike Pence because he wouldn’t engage in extra-constitutional actions and dig up obscure reference to justify their arguments, but stronger arguments against such acts are found in the constitution itself - Article I Section 4. If you read some of the annotated explanations by legal scholars you’ll learn that the framers were mostly concerned that Congress might play games with elections, and thus severely limited congressional involvement.
The framers of the constitution did what they thought was right and important at the time, and gave us the ability to amend the constitution if the situation changed. Short of that the only option seems to be to learn to out-cheat and out-steal the democrats by exploiting the same loopholes they do.
It is still madness. Sure, some may claim that it’s ‘possible’ but fact is that will never happen. Believing that the 2020 elections can be re-run in 2023 is pure delusion.
If it was people from the other side of the aisle saying this most FReepers would laugh derisively at them, yet when people on our side do it we tend to accommodate them and treat such discussion with serious consideration. Amazing.
Anyway, I hope no one holds their breath for this. Or maybe it is more 7D chess and we should all ‘trust’ and see. Although the same people claiming this are likely the same ones that said in early 2021 that the entire Dem leadership would be locked up by the National Guard in Gitmo and DJT would be back in the WH by Summer ‘21.
Maybe this time they’re correct and the elections will be overturned and redone - I’m sure of it …./sarc.
