Lib media posting oral arguments to the Supreme Court on YouTube about mail in ballots that begs the question: Why bother?

[Mac-7]

This is via far left PBS

But lib Forbes and CNN are posting video on YouTube also

And probably others

My reaction is why bother with oral or even written arguments to the SC since the black robes walk on water and already know everything there is to know?

The decisions of 5 justices become law for 320 million Americans and are considered sacrosanct

So why engage in a Kabuki Dance of oral arguments as if the issue was ever in doubt?

The issue shouldn't be in doubt, because constiuencies always counted late ballots that were postmarked before the election.

This is just more Repuke attempts at voter suppression.

Not surprisingly you missed the entire point of this thread

If the black robes are all-knowing and infallible they already know how they are going to rule

And it should be a 9-0 decision

Um, no. I don't think you understand how our system works at all.

Then again, you are a Trump supporter and probably failed basic civics.

I understand clearly

You are the one who still believes in Santa Claus

States should decide their voting procedures.

 

[DGS49]

The lawyers presenting cases for both sides - and often interested third parties - provide legal briefs to the Justices long before oral arguments. The Justices and their clerks are well aware of what they contain and what the arguments are. But written briefs are strategic documents, promoting one side of the argument and either ignoring, obscuring, or misrepresenting the other side.

Oral arguments give the Justices the opportunity to explore the weaknesses of the briefs, challenge the things that are B.S., and force the lawyers to flesh out the case.

The system works OK, and provides a bit of transparency for the Press and the interested public.

What's the problem?

States should decide their voting procedures.

They should also adhere to them. Amazingly enough, they broke their own laws.

How can you trust anyone who does that?

During a worldwide pandemic, rules were modified so that in person voting was not required

2020 had the most voters in history and was the safest and most secure election in history.

My problem is that the system is based in the whims of 5 people and which side of the bed they get up on

We need term limits on federal judges and better ways to remove lower court judges

It was more secure for cheaters committing voter fraud

You guys keep repeating what Trump tells you..

But are unable to identify any cheating or voter fraud

It's all a show. All of the justices made up their minds before even hearing oral arguments. You can see that from their questions. Same with most cases.

As far as this particular case goes, I don't see anyone outlawing mail in ballots, just outlawing ballots received after election day. If the left are so damned worried about the implications of this then just encourage their herd to mail in their ballots earlier or, better yet, to vote in person as the mail is not always reliable. Hell, I mailed checks to pay a couple of bills on Jan 7th and they still haven't ever gotten to where they were supposed to go. How long are we supposed to wait for ballots to arrive? If there is a five day grace period after the election then just mail out your ballot five days sooner. If you really want to make sure your vote counts then vote in person.

No, they simply ignored their own laws.

2020 was a stolen election, and that is now known beyond a shadow of a doubt and your lies are no longer working.

Safest election in history

Most people voted in history
In spite of massive number of recounts, audits, court challenges…..no voter fraud found

Most corrupt election in history. 15,000,000 more "ballots" than people.

Absentee Voting was already in place during the Pandemic so that a person would not have to vote in-person. There was no need to institute Mail-In voting. Absentee Voting accomplishes everything Mail In voting does.

Here is the difference: Absentee Voting requires the voter to request the ballot in order to be sent the ballot to vote by mail. With Mail-In voting, voters on a register are proactively sent ballots.
