SCOTUS Gives Whittle donnie trump The Big Middle...
Supreme Court rejects Texas-led effort to overturn Biden’s victory
Hot Damn and Halleluiah! The SCOTUS Preserves Our Democratic Republic and Protects Democracy. Thank You Justices For Standing Up For America And Giving trump the Big Middle One!
On to the celebratory article...
POLITICO - The Supreme Court has rejected a longshot bid by Texas and other Republican-led states to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in last month’s election, dashing President Donald Trump’s last-ditch hope that the justices effectively hand him a second term.
In a brief order Friday evening, the justices summarily refused the unusual case Texas filed Monday against four swing states whose voters favored Biden.
“Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections,” the court wrote in its unsigned order.
No justice indicated any endorsement of Texas' arguments. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas issued a statement saying they would have allowed Texas’ to file its case under a rarely-used procedure for interstate disputes, but they said “would not grant other relief.”
The decision brings an abrupt, unceremonious end to Trump’s legal effort to essentially scrap the democratic process in order to preserve his presidency, a six-week-long crusade in which he has spread false conspiracies about voter fraud to drive up distrust of the U.S. election system. Trump dubbed the Supreme Court gambit “the big one” and had publicly pressed the justices to rule for him to “save America.”
Texas’s audacious legal move, lodged by its scandal-plagued attorney general Ken Paxton, won Trump’s endorsement and the backing of 126 Republican members of the House, including GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy. However, the attempt also prompted an angry reaction from the targeted states and led many Democrats and some GOP officials to denounce the effort as a dangerous assault on the foundation of American democracy.
The Supreme Court’s action is likely the end of the line for Trump’s legal push to reverse his defeat. Dozens of courts at the local, state and federal level have swatted down his team’s and his allies’ legal efforts to scrap the results of the election, with many judges issuing forceful rejections, noting that the campaign’s arguments relied on conjecture and conspiracy theory.
As late as Friday morning, Trump had directed a public pressure campaign toward the high court, urging the justices to show “courage” and embrace his attempt to block Biden’s presidency. Trump has long made clear he’s hopeful his three appointees to the court will support his push.
We stop here. The Justices did show courage. They demonstrated courage by adhering to sound judicial principles, AND, by standing firm for DEMOCRACY.
So long Whittle Dotard donnie, and good riddance to you! Give my best to Satan when he welcomes you to the gates of HELL.

RN... never have we seen such a bunch of losers. Now they are claiming that the law has made fraud "undetectable."
ReplyDeleteThere is simply no one to the "I believe it regardless of what you show me" attitude.
For this crowd, a crowd that includes almost every Republican in Congress and millions of everyday Americans, to blatantly ignore facts and reason, make unsubstantiated charges and tie up an election and our courts, all because of fealty to a Park Avenue Loser is beyond the pale. We should never offer this crowd respect again.
They've shown by their actions that they really don't want a great America, They want a Trump's America.
I fully agree Dave. In fact I've lost all respect for these republicans a very long time ago. Well, given the national nightmare of four years under the reign of Dotard donnie and his sycophants in power it seems like a very long time ago.
DeleteThese bastards are beneath contempt and never again will I respect or trust a single one of them. PERIOD!
