Dershowitz: Supreme Court ruling shows 'you can't count on the judiciary' if you're Team Trump

[The Hill] Dershowitz: Supreme Court ruling shows 'you can't count on the judiciary' if you're team Trump
Attorney Alan Dershowitz said the Supreme Court turning down Texas’s election lawsuit sent a message that President Trump and his allies "can’t count on the judiciary" to help overturn the results of the election.

"The three justices that President Trump appointed, his three justices, voted not to hear the case," Dershowitz said during an interview with John Catsimatidis on his radio show on WABC 770 AM. "I think it’s a message to him and his team that you can’t count on the judiciary, you can’t count on the courts."

Dershowitz, a contributor to The Hill, said the president and his allies needed a "perfect storm" in order to overturn the election results, which includes the help of the courts, state governors and secretaries of state.

The attorney noted that time is running out for the president to pose a successful legal bid to overturn the election results. Dershowitz added that since the courts are unlikely to rule in his favor, Trump’s recourse is state legislatures, which are "very, very unlikely" to help him.

#1 No surprises here. These are the same black robed tyrants who for decades, have not seen fit to support the "constitutional rights" of the unborn and newly born. Perhaps there is a linkage.

I was hoping for better following the passing of RBG. Once again, dreamy optimism and hope displaced by brutal reality.

#2 My understanding of "standing in a case" as a layman is that the plaintiff (Texas, et al and Trump) can show a harm as the result of the defendants (battleground states) actions. Standing def.

It would seem that a harm has been done to the States as well to the voters by a rigged and fraudulent election. IMHO and undeducated opionion SCOTUS does not seem to be protecting the Constitution. Their decision is another stain on the Robert'c court and will open the door to future fraud and elections will mean little.

Today in Georgia, voters are going to the polls in early voting with little confidence in the process. There is a general feeling of widespread corruption in all three branches of government which have let all American down.

There are not too many avenues left to right the ship of state.

#4 "Legal standing." Legal weasel words. There is no such thing as a 'victimless crime.' Criminal activity should be hunted down and destroyed wherever possible.

Just my opinion.

#5 The media can't get away from "overturn the election". Scum.

Toss the illegal votes, and let the chips fall where they may.

#6 Joe Biden said his team has created "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics" in a recent video. I downloaded that video & carry it on my smart phone. Anyone who asks for evidence of voter fraud will be shown it.

#8 HOW TO FILE AN AMICUS CURIAE (Amicus Brief)

Many states attorney generals filed an Amicus Curiea (Brief) with the Supreme Court supporting the Texas Voter Fraud Law Suit, but not mentioned, private citizens also filed, but not very many. It would be helpful if more did. Here is the definitiona and how to write one Pro Se (without an attorney).

Amicus Curiae (Definition)
An amicus curiae is someone who is not a party to a case who assists a court by offering information, expertise, or insight that has a bearing on the issues in the case. The decision on whether to consider an amicus brief lies within the discretion of the court. The phrase amicus curiae is legal Latin.
