this is like trying to get a umpire to reverse a call after the game is over, everyone has left yankee stadium days ago and the stadium is closed and you're yelling in the street outside the stadium pissing your pants angrily

Trump campaign will again ask U.S. high court to upend election results

for curiosity sake I wish I could see an alternate reality where this shit worked and Trump stole the election in court. or at least came close. So much of the discourse and reaction from the public, politicians, and the media is framed from the perspective that it was unlikely any of this would work. I am fascinated by what would happen if it looked like it would. Terrified, but fascinated.
Yeah, gauging it from Trump's perspective, immediately picking a replacement for Ginsburg was a bad move. He lost a lot of leverage over Republicans in an instant.
Trump must have been convinced that all of the conservative justices would do anything to flip an election and Barrett is all he needed.
Perhaps if the election was very close but I think he might have just wanted the adulation in the moment if you believe that is core to his character.
If you keep getting -1s, when you get to zero it skips back to 255.
There's basically zero consequences for losing over and over though and he just needs to win once, so why not just keep trying.
I love how THIS is the bullshit Trump cares about, instead of the fact that 12 million renters will face imminent eviction at the beginning of the year, and 317,000 Americans have died from COVID-19. Like...oh my god.
Thank you, just seems like a weird case to cite as precedent, save that it was about an election in the Supreme court. Par for the course, I guess.

We'll see about zero consequences. But, if these are the kind of filings he's going to keep trying, he definitely needs to win more than once. Getting the SC to flip the results on PA election results wouldn't change the EC results enough to hand Trump the win.
100% and it's disgusting that the GOP is just going along for the ride on this. America literally has traitors as one of the major parties in its "democracy".
It's because it is the only time the Supreme Court has affected the results of a Presidental Election. It's the only case they can cite to establish dominion.
Is there even anything the courts can do anymore? Like even if Trump wasn't just spouting shit and actually had something isn't the horse out of the barn at this point? The constitution, based on what my layman self understands, seems to say there is fuck all anyone not part of the legislative branch can do once the electors have cast their votes.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
If he locks a door to try and keep them from coming in he can get prison time, if only he was that stupid
He is a criminal that only cares about self preservation. This is why you never elect criminals to public office.
The Supreme Court isn't obligated to review every case. You can't just ask them and suddenly have a case. They have to take up the case, which they obviously won't do in this scenario since their is no case to be made outside of the decision the state court already rendered.
Trump is just hoping the Trump appointed Supreme Court will award him for appointing them.....this is why its lifetime appointments, so they owe him nothing.
That literally happened in the infamous Pine Tar game haha.
