It has been a season of brief judicial rulings.
Not “judicially cognizable” is an Artful turn of phrase. “Cognizable” refers to what can be tried before a court. “Why is there something instead of nothing?” while arguably life’s only real question, is not judicially cognizable.
The crux of the argument, as such, in the denied filing was that the elections results assert that a lot of people voted for the Democratic party’s candidate who usually vote for the Republican party’s candidate in the 2020 Presidential election. It further asserts that this is statistically unlikely, so the vote must be corrupt and fradulent. It asks the court to order the Republican state legislatures in four states to send electors to the college instead of those already certified to attend.
I am a University of North Carolina Tarheel Men’s Basketball fan. The team played Iowa last Tuesday, December 8. The final score was UNC 80, Iowa 93.
These two schools have played five times, according to my extensive research, the Tarheels won once, way back in 2004. In other words, WE ARE DUE ! The Tarheels enjoy an overall winning percentage of 73.5% Clearly, according to Trump legal team logic, something was wrong with the way they were keeping score. A team that usually wins three out of every four games CAN’T POSSIBLY drop four out of five to one team! There’s less than a one in quadrillion chance of that!
I kid you not. That was the argument.
While we’re here, let’s take a look at what Justices Alito and Thomas, those closest to the hearts of the last tattered vestiges of political loyalty to Trump, felt compelled to add:
In other words, they are saying since the Supreme Court is the only place that a state can sue another state they have to give them a hearing. They have no where else to go to redress their greivances. Take note that in the very next sentence that they say their answer would be “F*ck that noise.”
Stay safe.
