SCOTUS shirks its responsibility when needed most : Comments

By David Singer, published 19/1/2021

11 December 2020 will be remembered as the date when America was abandoned by its legal system at a time when it was needed most.

America is now unlikely to have fair elections, without corruption, ever again - if it ever has. It's only because, for the first time ever, that a person with the guts to do so, Donald Trump, has pressed the sleazes as far as he could and revealed the rottenness.

Given the ease with which US courts have been allowed to ignore calls for justice, the power of Big Tech and social media to erase Donald Trump, it would be only natural for American voters - who are not forced to vote - to give up a and stop fighting. That's how totalitarian regimes are born.

Further re above comment "Donald Trump has pressed the sleazes as hard as he could and revealed the rottenness": He would have largely worked out who may turn against him or make all sorts of excuses to avoid being in a confrontation themselves. Also, seems lately he has made appointments of people likely to strongly back him when possible to important positions of power. What happens regarding the proposed Biden inauguration - maybe as late as after everyone arrives for it depends on who supports Trump. Note is recognized he still has important Presidential powers until 12 noon local time on the 20th (AT LEAST!). I reckon watch developments closely

The Democrats and other Leftists might be admitting now that their corruption and Trump cancelling tactics are not as popular as they thought they were, given their panic about what could happen during the inauguration - planning for empty streets, the hoi polloi not allowed proximity etc.

It'll be interesting how Biden's Administration will deal with the 2000 Honduran migrants who are held up in Guatemala en-route to the US !
Any word as to what is planned for the border wall ?

*Yawn*
This wasn't when the SCOTUS was needed most. And you've shown no evidence that the SCOTUS had a responsibility to hear the case.

Trump lost the election, everything that initially appeared to be evidence of fraud turned out not to be, and IF there were procedural flaws then they do not justify overturning the election - democracy is too important (and the well established legal principle of estoppel exists to ensure that the outcome would remain consistent with justice).

So assuming the judges have common sense, the case would be of very little importance.

: Donald Trump has pressed the sleaze as far as he could and revealed his own rottenness.

FTFY!

Risible rubbish! Complete C.R.A.P. Blatant BS! Delivered straight out of cloud cooku Land! Cooku, cooku.

A letter to David,
Dear, I got an amazingly powerful torch for Christmas.

Here's the deal I'll shine a beam down to the ground from the tenth cloud. You slide down the beam and escape. I'll tie the torch to my umbrella and toss it to you. You catch it. Then shine the beam back up here and I'll also slide on down.

Then we can make our way down to the river of endless dreams and use the inverted brolly as a boat and the torch as the motive power. So we can jet upstream to the headwaters where nobody will think to look. Then find a cozy cave and settle down to wedded bliss?

I promise I won't club you senseless, more than once a day.
Affectionately, Horse.
Alan B.

Aiden is obviously one of those who believes what the mainstream media has been peddling and probably has not seen any of the numerous detailed stories of all the instances of cheating which some "alternative " media sources have been exposing. . Which Democrat supporters, the mainstream media, Google, Twitter and Facebook have been doing what they can to hide or dismiss as "baseless allegations" ,"fake news" or whatever. Is obvious that had counting of votes been honest, Trump would have won by a large majority. He, his informed supporters and many others would have accepted an honest loss but not one facilitated by widespread fraud.

mox,
I have seen the allegations of cheating that some "alternative" media have been promoting, and I've seen the rebuttals. Whereas many Trump supporters, apparently accusing yourself, don't care about the truth - they think anything which supports Trump is automatically true (and reject any evidence to the contrary) and anything which contradicts what Trump says is a lie no matter how much evidence there is that it's true!

Reality doesn't work like that, mate!

If there were any actual evidence of cheating, it would have been presented to, and considered by, the courts. But there wasn't. So Trump supporters decided to ditch their remaining principles and tried to void people's votes on a legal technicality. And now they're whinging because the SCOTUS didn't allow that either.

Trump would've won by a large margin had more voters ignored this election. But participation was at a record high. Biden won convincingly.

And there were plenty of recounts, but none of them showed any sign there'd been dishonest counting. What seems "obvious" to you is that way because of your prejudice, not because of any evidence at all.

But Tramp and many of his supporters were mentally incapable of admitting there had been an honest loss, so they started throwing around baseless claims of fraud until they convinced each other that Trump had won by a landslide!

Pearls, pearls, Aidan.

But you're wasting your time casting them before the (oink, oink) right-wing conspiracy theorists posting here. The irrefutable facts don't matter to these "people"!

As you say there were recounts and numerous courtroom challenges. Many in front of republican appointed Judges in republican controlled states! And in the 60, yes 60 times they tried to steal an election, Trump, who reportedly sleeps with a copy of Mien Kampf on his nightstand and his extreme right-wing cronies failed!

The Supreme court required evidence! Not endless BS writ large, David!

And didn't have the wit to wear surgical masks when they stormed the capital. To hang Mike Pence and murder Nancy Pelosi!

The election is over! Trump lost it fair and square, and in two days Biden will be sworn in!

Those who took part in the Trump incited sedition will be hunted down and pay for their crimes as the traitors they are!

As for us? We need to understand these Folk pose a greater terrorist threat to civil society than radicalised, Islamic terrorists! And therefore, need to be monitored far more closely/taken far more seriously!
