Resident BBS lawyers can correct me if I’m wrong, but the thing is; there is no pathway to SCOTUS for him if his complaints keep getting tossed on summary judgement.
Essentially, there was no case to be appealed, since the judge in every one so far hasn’t let them functionally make arguments.
Trump declaring something to be true does not make it so. The cases mentioned were pre-election, and had nothing to do with the baseless fraud accusations that Trump and his cronies keep making. An argument has to have enough merit to at least be heard in a lower court before it can be considered by the Supreme Court, and as much as he would like to have his appointees decide his fate, he doesn’t have a sensible enough legal argument for them to take up.
Yeah the issue isn’t even that Trump’s people have a laughably bad legal argument. It’s that they have no legal argument at all. What is there to even rule on?
Oh, Mike, you haven’t changed since you were a smarmy butterbar, I remember you from when you were in the 1st Squadron, 2nd Armored Cavalry. You were an asshole then, even the other lieutenants seemed to avoid you and your Biff Tannen ways. (I was a mere enlisted soldier then, and luckily in a different troop. Still, even then, Lt. Pompeo was notorious als “Lt. Pompous-O”)
Perhaps the best way forward would be if Trump were to start this own PATRIOT party (spelled in capitals, of course, colour: white of course) for those who openly support any or all of his various bigotries. Something for all the rednecks and Quanon to really get behind.
This would split the Republican Party and they might never get a majority again. It’s nasty, but it might work.
Yeah, but what makes you think that enough Republicans would remain behind to deny both parties a majority?. Never Trumpers didn’t do particularly well this season.
Jo Jorgenson’s votes added to Trump’s might have swung things. You don’t have to split the Republicans down the middle for it to work.
Instead, people want to split the Democrats, and have a separate Bernie Saunders Socialist candidate. Now that may be what the country needs, but it will have the opposite effect until the voting system is changed.
3% of Americans believe that Donald Trump won the election.
The Reuters/Ipsos national opinion survey, which ran from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday, found that 79% of U.S. adults believe Biden won the White House. Another 13% said the election has not yet been decided, 3% said Trump won and 5% said they do not know.
If it’s item 2, I kind of feel like that’s how we got him as POTUS in the first place…
Why anyone (Graham) would stake their reputation on dirt from Project Veritas is beyond me*, but I am glad to see that the sword (turd, whatever) cuts both ways.
*(Well it’s not beyond me, they must have something on LG. But what do they have on Cruz? What’s Trump gonna do, not insult Cruz’s wife and dad? Maybe it’s a symbiotic relationship, and Trump emits a magical, hallucinatory strawberry scent once one’s nose reaches the right place…)
