#MuhJudges: Kavanaugh and Barrett Refuse to Consider Illegal Ballot-Counting Changes in Pennsylvania
Before the inauguration: Not timely
After the certification: Moot It's almost as if they're willing to resort to claiming any ol' doctrine to avoid saying that you're not allowed to violate the Constitution when you change election rules last-minute. Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas dissented.On Monday, the Supreme Court threw out several of the remaining challenges to the 2020 presidential election as moot, considering that former President Donald Trump conceded to Joe Biden, who has now become president. Yet Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing that the Supreme Court should have taken the opportunity to clarify election law, especially in the case of Pennsylvania. "The Constitution gives to each state legislature authority to determine the ‘Manner’ of federal elections," Thomas wrote. "Yet both before and after the 2020 election, nonlegislative officials in various States took it upon themselves to set the rules instead. As a result, we received an unusually high number of petitions and emergency applications contesting those changes." Thomas argued that the cases Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Veronica DeGraffenreid (2021) and Jake Corman v. Pennsylvania Democratic Party (2021) presented "a clear example" of election law issues that the Supreme Court should put to rest. "The Pennsylvania Legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail-in ballots: 8 p.m. on election day. Dissatisfied, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended that deadline by three days." "That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome of any federal election. But that may not be the case in the future," Thomas argued. "These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable."I can explain it: the "Shadow conspiracy" article in Time Magazine explained it. The Shadow Conspiracy article in Time was written to alert the left that these changes were absolutely critical to fake-winning the election, and that therefore, anyone on the left and anyone supporting the permanent corrupt Deep State must fight with all their might to keep these illegal rules in place. Remember, these last-minute illegal changes were mostly justified by the pandemic threat. But the left might not have that justification in 2022. So the people who rigged the election told their stories to Time to let the rest of the left know: Even if there is no major pandemic threat in 2022, you must fight tooth and nail to retail the illegal rules changes we instituted supposedly "because of the pandemic." Or else you'll just lose. I guess the Supreme Court figured that much out.
By the way, they keep saying that this wouldn't effect the results of the election because they have repeatedly sifted the number of challenges down to the point where we're talking about just a couple of thousand ballots. They've figured out other ways to ignore the challenges to all the other ballots. It's like breaking down a cargo into a hundred pieces and saying of each tiny piece, "No, this won't meaningfully affect the ship's seaworthiness. No this one also won't meaningfully affect the ship's seaworthiness. No this one also won't appreciably affect the ship's seaworthiness..." Yeah but take them all together and the ship sinks. Let me put this simply: Teams that are winning and have the advantage in points don't start changing the rules for what counts as a "point" behind-the-scenes. The team that is behind changes the rules. Is that a noncontroversial enough take? Or are we now at the point where we pretend that the team ahead on the scoreboard starts making sketchy rules-changes just to pad their margin?
Alito also wrote a dissent, which Justice Neil Gorsuch joined. Alito argued that these cases "present an important and recurring constitutional question: whether the Elections or Electors Clauses of the United States Constitution… are violated when a state court holds that a state constitutional provision overrides a state statute governing the manner in which a federal election is to be conducted. That question has divided the lower courts,* and our review at this time would be greatly beneficial." "Now, the election is over, and there is no reason for refusing to decide the important question that these cases pose," Alito argued. While a decision in these cases "would not have any implications regarding the 2020 election," it would "provide invaluable guidance for future elections."

BREAKING: Scotus won't take up Pennsylvania elections case that challenged state supreme court decisions to extend deadline for mail-in ballots. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch disagree
@julie_kelly2
Looking at order list now. It looks like SCOTUS killed every election lawsuit filed by Trump and other parties. Only Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito dissented in rejecting PA GOP v PA SOS case. We have no institution to protect our elections. Thanks Barrett and Kavanaugh!
Oh but they did do this! https://t.co/UiXYvR7p7T

This is really disappointing because in 2018 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (5D-2R) stuck it's nose into Congressional redistricting, completely replacing the plan by the legislature with one of their own which gave at least 3 seats to the Democrats. The issue in Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Degraffenreid (formerly Boockvar) would have ended this practice cold.
Justices Christine Donohue(D), Kevin Dougherty (D), and David Wecht (D) are up for a retention vote in 2025, while Debra Todd(D) and Sallie Updyke Mundy (R) are up for retention vote in 2027. Chief Justice Thomas G. Saylor (R) must step down Dec 2021 and Justice Max Baer (D) must step down Dec 2022 when they reach 75 years old. If the judge is not retained or steps down, the governor, subject to the approval of the State Senate, appoints a temporary replacement until a special election can be held. Governor Wolf (D) is in office till Jan 2023, when term limits preclude him from running again.

The lawlessness on election process is now running wild, possibly worse than shredding of the 2A, or equal protection, which are both now bad jokes as far as rule of is concerned.
"Sue and settle" (bad faith agreement to outrageous consent decrees by secretaries of state) may now "formalize" this process whereby state election law is simply tossed out by a handful of people, with of course the "court" approving. And don't forget how lawless judicial interference has *actively* reduced states' own ability to establish common sense integrity measures for elections.

Reminds me of a faculty meeting one September in which someone proposed moving June final exams up a week. "We can't do that! It's too late! The students will howl!"
(As if the students had every minute of the next nine months planned out in detail.)
So the guy responded, "OK, so let's move it up for NEXT year."
"We can't do that! It's too soon!"
Apparently there was a 5 minute window in which the time would have been just right.

I think that 99% of these people are swamp first. They were before, and they were now. It's like a bunch of sleeper cells. They were playing their parts, and when called to SCOTUS they were activated.
They knew how the hearings would go, and while we were outraged at antics of the left, people like Schumer and Ford and the horrible accusations, it was all Kabuki. If we'd have known his true intentions, what might have happened? They all went out for drinks and a laugh afterwards. Trump fell for it too - but then again, I don't think there's a single appointment he could have made that wouldn't have gone the same way.

I'm being completely serious, this is WAY easier than a violent revolution where everyone is bragging about how much ammo they have.
Drop off 100k extra ballots from some small rural district and let's see SCOTUS get involved.
Maybe actually get help from a foreign power, at the very least, maybe we do see some election integrity laws.

2. We let the commies infest academia without rooting them out. It started in Berkeley and Columbia, and has metastasized to practically every university.

The problem is, Trump had to choose from an infected gene pool. He's trying to guess the lesser of evils. Like, which one of the demons from hell is less demon-y?
Not like he could go to the private sector, select from hundreds of resumes and interview people from diverse educations, experiences and backgrounds. He might as well just have thrown darts at a list of names (maybe he did) and hope for the best.

Levin said at the beginning of Kavanaugh's nomination that he'd never seen lobbying for a potential judge like the Bushites did. Plus it was rumored at the time that Kav might have been Kennedy's handpicked choice he based his retirement on.
Plus that farce of the hearings that Grassley lost control of never scrutinized him from a conservative standpoint.

We've never really tried. It's almost impossible to pull out votes once they are in, this has been exploited over and over by Democrats and we keep thinking the play should be just winning by bigger margins.
I want to see SCOTUS pull out thousands of "our" fake ballots after they've been cast, at least its a step towards integrity.

Where I see a distinction as compared to Bush 43 (for example) is that Trump actually tried to take it seriously and put forth people with real conservative bona fides. It didn't work and those picks have been mediocre at best. Bush didn't even bother trying to do well. Other examples like Eisenhower are even better. Eisenhower didn't care about the Court at all and it showed and he gave us one of the most destructive Courts in our history. Intentions don't count for everything by any means, but they do count for something.
That said, I am increasingly of the opinion that SCOTUS picks are a bad test. Try or don't, take it seriously or don't. It doesn't seem to matter. Once the justice gets into that particular hall of power, he tacks toward "maximizing state power.". This happens quickly regardless. Kavanaugh isn't the exception, Thomas is.

I place the decline at Carter. He was the first President who was not pro-America. Even FDR was pro-America. Now we have a system where the government is united in faction and goal, deciding that they won't fight amongst themselves but rather act contrary to the will of the people.
I'm now convinced that our system has always had an expiration date.

I think we should expect most all the other supposed conservative judges placed by Sullen Hack Mitch will also prove to be as disappointing as those two have been.
I have a feeling that the judges nominated by Sullen Mitch were selected for their ability and/or willingness to look acceptable to the Trumpian Right (we're no longer conservatives and I embrace that label removal) so they could sneak them in.

The Braynard guy who - just using public info - was able to document illegal votes in GA that greatly exceeded the alleged "margin" there, has said he'll be doing a more in-depth look at a few key states. Now whether his research will allow one to make reasonable estimates of fraud in the massive mail-in category, I'm not sure, and that's where the game's outcome was determined.
And the MI SoS agreed to purge more voters from the rolls than the alleged "margin" there, just last week. And in NV, which may be the most wildly corrupted process of all of them, though it receives almost no attention, a Las Vegas TV reporter was able to get 5 of 6 fraudulent ballots counted in a test he ran.
And we still await the endless in-depth demographic and political analyses that have accompanied *every* presidential election for half of my lifetime, but which are completely absent *this* time.

Everything does. Entropy's a bitch. The human condition is one of coercing order from the underlying chaos, and that requires constant vigilance and constant infusions of new energy. The more complex the coerced order becomes, the easier it is for it to break down. The genius of our brand of it - the American experiment generally - was its simplicity. We've been adding complication and exceptions for a couple of centuries.

You're assuming, incorrectly, that the GOP wants power. They don't, as is evident when they don't fight for it, and moreso when they don't ever use it when they have it, except against the few who do want to use it. They just want pizza, hot dogs, and money.
Besides, even if they wanted power bad enough to cheat for it, what part of "two sets of laws" are you not understanding? They won't ever get away with it, not for a hot second.

And SCOTUS and other courts have been damaging the country for years, quietly, by derailing states' attempts to clean up the very, very, very weak election integrity that plagues most of the US.
Make empty suits like Roberts (and most of them, actually) openly attempt to explain and pretend to believe whatever nonsense is required to rationalize obvious junking of the constitution on election process. Maybe they'll even provide an unhinged totalitarian rant, like Kennedy in Obergefell, so that even less observant people will notice how far off the rails the "judiciary" is.

Any talk of separation - and the resulting loss of superpower status - scares the shit out of some people. They crave order. They'll give up just about anything else to get it. And they'll insist you go along. So they do this in the public space - they try to stop all such talk. Begging, derision - everything is on the table. But they must get that kind of talk shut down. Contemplating the ensuing chaos is simply a bridge too far.

The Ottomans don't become Caliphate till later when they conquered Egypt, and that's more akin to their long acquisition of hats. Practically speaking the Roman institutions of governance would continue for some time with additional Persian influences.
The Ottomans were originally Anatolian beyliks, so greek influence was heavy to begin with. If they weren't Muslim it'd just be another Roman civil war as happened from time to time.

This is how any new Civil War will end. If it devolves into armed conflict here (which will likely look like the Troubles in Ireland), someone beyond our borders is going to decide that the time is right to knock the US out altogether. I doubt they'd even try to occupy the place, just hit our major political and cultural and population centers with a few nukes and remove us from global importance.
Basically, if a civil war does get moving here, it will likely be won for one side or the other courtesy of a third party.

The second a Western Civ. conservative even registers a truck to deliver more votes, 12 FBI agents will ram the trucks off the road and kill any dog in a 15 mile radius for good measure.
When Democrats create their rule changes that benefit only them, they set-up an iron-clad brigade which ensures that the same would never happen to them. Then we'd have to listen to weeks after weeks of "Only Democrats are capable of running secure elections, and anyone who isn't a Democrat is a terrorist."

Yes, that's the issue. Many of us are starting to see that government is the issue and we are becoming the ungovernable. What was left/right, we are all starting to see, is now an elite ruling class verses the ruled. But you know what? The reason we are seeing fast and dramatic enemy action against us is that they have already seen this and have already begun to reconfigure. The ruling class on "our side" aren't betraying us, we are their enemy.
We are behind and trailing their movement. We need to catch up real fast.

Two points:
1. As happened with FDR, the mere threat to pack the court yields results. Two of these clowns certainly considered this threat when they passed on a case that could have returned a degree of legitimacy to the United States government. Maybe it is a good thing this happened because many more can see what a fraud the system is.
2. The Federalist Society's recomnendations were just as worthless as the rest of the shit from Conservatism, Inc.

They could get a free ride here and a willing coalition of West Coast states to support them - and the ChiComs still couldn't project that much force, that far away, for very long. That's the irony - none of these world powers, except us, have the ability to project power anymore. And we're rapidly losing it - which is not a bad thing.
Domestic use of anyone's military is another story. The Chinese Military is the biggest threat to the Chinese. Same for the residents of most countries. Same for us.

IIRC, there is no requirement that an SC judge even be a lawyer or judge.
Frankly, I think this is one of those occasions where you flop open the telephone book, randomly pick nine people and get better, more intelligent, more easily read rulings all around.

The only good part of his Tanden rant was the first caller said he was a lib in sheep's clothing. Hewitt lost it; as if he didn't know the caller was spot-on.

Typically that means POTUS is *not* in the Oval. So who was receiving the PDB, and where?
Pretty sure I've seen a Q theory that Joe Biden was never really sworn in and is not in the WH.

Hewitt is worthless. The worthlessness of his reasoning is why confrontation is inevitable. The Dems will not stop. You can either surrender to them, or fight back. If you fight back, they will fight back worse. If you keep fighting back, the escalations will eventually result in confrontation.
When -- ever -- have the Democrats backed off something for good?

I don't think sexual choice really has much baring on whether they should be considered or not. If they're a prissy fag floating around the court ruling to stop abortion, election fraud and uphold the Bill of Rights, I really could give a fuck who's cock they're sucking.

Biggest upside of all this - anybody who doesn't see it now simply refuses to see it at all. So when certain folks just agitating about "come on guys, we gotta' get to the polls in 2022 !!!" - you know to just smile, nod, and take a step back away from the crazy. Let them take the ride to the happy fun camps first. Don't lift a finger to help them - help yourself instead.

They set up a replica oval office in the basement of Comet Pizza.

If a vote doesn't work because The People don't want it, they take it to court. If that doesn't work, they have the executive ram it through. If for some crazy reason that doesn't work, go take over the courts and do every fuck shit thing you want.
It's ingenious. There is not a system in existence that can't be used to bring itself down and our "checks and balances" is how they did it.

Well, it was designed to do that but inevitable that it would not. If everything was working as designed and intended, the wild excesses of the Supreme Court would be checked by an executive that shrugged at their unconstitutional decisions and a legislature that blocked off the scope of their powers and impeached judges that went off the rails.
Instead, both have figured out that voters might get mad at justices but don't blame either branch for when they go wrong, so its best to just let the SCOTUS rule and then get reelected in your office.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at February 22, 2021 01:29 PM (KZzsI)
But that date is not '22. They don't need to cheat in '22. And, they may in fact want to see a """GOP""" """win""" in that cycle.
The massive, public cheat in '20 was necessitated by the categorical imperative of removing Trump BAMN. He's gone now.
A GOP """win""" in '22 would mean the same thing it always has: a Kabuki-theater opposition to the big changes from the previous, radically aggressive legislative cycle, that preserves those changes and makes them permanent in practical reality.
But they'd also get the added benefit of saying "SEE! The system isn't rigged! The white supremacists won ANOTHER election!"
I don't see a lot of benefits from openly stealing another cycle at this time. And there are no downsides if they """lose.""" So I don't read it as the scenario where these rules will be needed.

Winner. I always cringe when rock-ribbed Republicans cry out for SCOTUS to preserve this or that Constitutional right. That's Incorporation. And that was never, ever part of the original plan.
