'Inexplicable': Alito and Thomas Dissent as Supreme Court Strikes Down Pennsylvania Election Lawsuit
2021-02-22
[PJMedia] 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
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
conceded to Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
, 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.

#18  Now worries we will get them at the ballot box..... oh wait. Can’t wait to see all the new rules on leftist run states: mail in ballots without validation and 10 days late, non citizen votes count,,,,, and remember that the Supreme Court said thumbs up!

Michael Moore himself said in 2016 before November election that Trump would win because the only relief citizens have against Washington is voting. And America was sending the biggest FU message to Washington DC elitists. Well the elites have spoken in 2020/2021: voting does not matter”.

#17  Justice Thomas in his own words - very powerful!


One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us. I respectfully dissent.”

By the way, CUck Roberts of course went along with the dismissal without writing a thing.

SWOTUS works.

Supreme Weasel(s) sounds like a KKK designation.

#13  #7 Scotus wanted to get rid of this 2020 hot potato--they did not want to touch this. To my ignorant view, this is grounds for impeachment of several SC justices.

Unfortunately such action would be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

#12  Trump never conceded. Show me where this happened.

#11  SCOTUS has determined, correctly, that The Republic is dead. So, in their minds - what's the point?

#3  “would not have any implications regarding the 2020 election,” it would “provide invaluable guidance for future elections.”

The issues were sufficient to give guidance for future elections but there were no implications for the 2020 election? That doesn't make sense.

Scotus wanted to get rid of this 2020 hot potato--they did not want to touch this.

#1  This was a problem throughout Trump's presidency. He could not find good, conservative people to appoint. People like, Barr, Bolton, Haley, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett took the jobs and then stabbed him in the back.
