Legal experts: No, Alto and Thomas did not "dissent" in the Texas case

[Penelope]

Guns are banned. We knew that already. Fucking Democrat assholes on the bench. All nine of them. Graduated with full Democrat honors from Democrat Ivy League institutions, in good standing with the local Democrat bar association, having advanced progressive Democrat causes in court and qualified to sit on the highest bench of a Democrat institution of Democrat law.

If you can't buy guns, take a look at your record, they don't give guns to criminals.

Likely they will take on a lingering case later, so as not to disenfranchise anyone. If they do nothing, our elections mean nothing. Almost half the states acknowledged they don't have confidence in the results. That's not a legacy the court wants.

Or....Texas' petition was obvious pseudo-legal horseshit.

Never discount the possibility that you're just wrong. Especially when the weight of evidence so strongly suggests it.

So true. I'm a back seat driver and even I saw this coming. Good thing our imperfect court system still works.

Everyone not glued to OAN or NewMaxTV saw this coming. The petition was just awful. It was so obviously flawed, so obviously outside of the scope of Texas' authority, that its outcome was inevitable.

Yet our conservative friends NEVER saw this coming. They were poleaxed and blind sided, certain that Trump was playing more '3-dimensional chess' and all his failures up to this point were merely clever positioning for him to make his final, victorious move.

.....so, yeah. They're not having a great night.

"poleaxed" I looked that up.

It's his last grifter move going out of the WH.

Trump’s post-election cash grab floods funds to new PAC

The Trump operation raised $207.5 million since Election Day, including a hefty chunk to a new leadership PAC Trump formed in November.

Yeah, but it was an incompetent, shitty game.

The election wasn't particularly close. Trump and his allies have a record of essentially perfect failure, losing over 50 cases. Their arguments were incompetent shit, with Trump's legal team never once in court even ALLEGING fraud ever occurred as part of their legal arguments.

And Trump's presentation was just awful. Gulliani giving a press conference next to a porn store after mistaking a landscaping company for the 4 Seasons hotel?

Or quite literally *melting* on camera?

Declaring himself a 'cybersecurity expert' before insisting that poll worker's homes be searched for 'evidence of USB ports'?

Trump's legal team arguing that Hugo "I've been dead since 2013" Chavez threw the 2020 election to Biden?

Its been a dipshit rodeo of ever changing lawyers, contradicting arguments, half baked conspiracy batshit, legal incompetence, poor messaging, and comic misunderstandings of even basic concepts. All in public. This has been on of the most inept legal efforts in modern political history.

And it all lands at Donald Trump's feet.

Preaching to the choir. Only thing DJT cares about are the Green Backs going into his PAC as he exits the WH.

I ain't arguing with you on all your points. You win.
