Supreme Court rules against vote rigging case WITHOUT EXPLANATION

[lennypartiv]

What gives here? Why can't they give an explanation? This is like a continuation of the cases from 2020 being thrown out.

---The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition from Arizona Republicans Kari Lake and Mark Finchem to hold a new case over their claims of vote rigging in the 2022 midterm elections without explanation, according to local media.---

Because they know the cases are total bullshit, but they don't want to make it look like the right are totally batshitcrazy... even though they are.

It is like arguing that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time and presenting "The Flintstone's" as your new evidence.

Time for you to start calling Trump’s appointees “deep state plants”.

standing

www.law.cornell.edu

In Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (90-1424), 504 U.S. 555 (1992), the Supreme Court created a three-part test to determine whether a party has standing to sue:

1. The plaintiff must have suffered an "injury in fact," meaning that the injury is of a legally protected interest which is (a) concrete and particularized and (b) actual or imminent
2. There must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct brought before the court
3. It must be likely, rather than speculative, that a favorable decision by the court will redress the injury

As redress for their injury, Lake and Finchem are asking for a redo of the election. However the court simply does not have the power to do that because there is no law that says there can be a redo of the election.

Now if they simply sued for the salary they lost, they would have standing. The court can award them monetary damages as a redress for injury. The court cannot order a new election.

And even if the court could order a new election, there is no guarantee that either Lake or Finchem would win a redo election, therefore the redress that they are suing for is speculative. That violates the SCOTUS rules of standing.

Unless there is totally irrefutable evidence SCOTUS cannot become a full time election decider. It's not their job.

here is your reason, lenny

this case has no basis in fact or law. lake pissed off the powerful mccain faction and presented a message disconnected from reality.

counting on thomas and alito to win one you can't get from the voters shouldn't work.

i'm sure we shall see in november

True. So the Dems can go on being crooked with no penalty. I said all along ,the Repubs need to either play the Democrats Game or keep losing. Nixon played the Democrat game. He finally won twice. Of course ,it backfired.
