The Irony Of A Conservative Supreme Court For Trump

[Jake Winker Frogen]

One of the ironies of this election is now Trump is seeking a way to the Supreme Court to invalidate the various states counting methods.

Of course only in those swing states that are not going his way.

For instance if the count was stopped right now Biden is President, because he is ahead in Nevada and Arizona which puts him at the magic Electoral College number of 270.

So Trump is only trying to stop counts in Pennsylvania and Georgia where he is rapidly losing his lead.

The problem for Trump is the Supreme Court, including his new appointment, has a conservative majority. A block of them, including his new appointment, consider themselves judicial "originalists" when it comes to constitutional interpretation. That means they do not believe they can infer any powers or meaning in the constitution that is not expressly written in the exact words.

So if these judges stay true to what they claim their judicial philosophy is all these years, Trump cannot overturn the voting count.

The constitution is clear, the states determine voting procedures and their procedures are not going Trump's way.

So if these judges stay true to their stated judicial philosophy Trump cannot win a call to overturn state determination in voting counts.

And if they do go against the Constitution then they deserve Court Packing since they obviously would not be qualified to serve.

Trump is suing each state separately in accordance to their state laws. How many swing states legislated election changes this year? Many of the changes were by executive order, when there ample time to actually pass legislation.

Except his claims against Pennsylvania for instance do not violate state law. You can count postal ballots posted before the election but received three days after it.

Trump is only trying to stop votes anywhere he is losing ground on any argument he can come up with.

This is why his first two legal challenges have been thrown out by the respective state courts.

And why he is not trying to stop vote counting in Arizona and Nevada where he is behind but thinks he may come back.

Your P.T. Barnum President is transparent to the courts, they will not rule in his favour.

Desperate carnival barker seeks desperate measures? Who could've guessed this might happen? Now it's Biden's turn to do a Gore and capitulate to Trump for the good of the country. We really don't want just any old Joe on that fence. We need someone who can keep this mirage of democracy through duopoly alive just a teensy bit longer!

The only card that matters is the state legislature. IF any city did not follow the law the state legislature could disqualify those votes, or send their own set of electors. The democrats' VOTER FRAUD will not stand.

They can, let us see how many do?

There are thousands and thousands of provisional ballots sitting in boxes upstate.
At the very least the legislatures (or courts) should order that all legitimate provisional ballots be counted.

They can if previously legislated state law allows for such.

I have to amend this, the can if previously legislated state law allows for such.

They cannot bring in retrospective legislation.

Yeah, no
retroactive!
ex post facto!
Nein, Ja!
