The supreme court has taken a knee… let me explain why it is so evident:
In a 6-3 ruling today the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to grant writ to hear the Pennsylvania election challenge cases [pdf here – begin page 25]. While the majority of media will likely celebrate this decision; and while the court has refused to hear the case(s) based on their position the issues are “moot”; there appears to be an underlying motive not being discussed.
It only takes four justices to agree to hear a case and grant a writ of certiorari. In October 2020 the issues with the Pennsylvania court overruling the Pennsylvania legislature was of such importance four justices agreed to block the lower court order. However, four months later the majority claim the arguments within the case are “moot”; & the election is over.
In essence the Roberts Court is saying they will allow any/all methods and manipulations of election law within states, and only look to the state outcome. This is very troublesome.
Why would Justice Kavanaugh reverse his position? In October the state action to supersede the Pennsylvania legislature was a hazard. In February it is moot.
While it is never a good idea to look into the background of the court for motives, one cannot easily dismiss that Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett may have voted against the writ because they were concerned such a decision would cause the senate to start a process of “packing the court.” Retaining the current number of justices within the court is more likely if the justices avoid triggering the consequences from the previous threat.
Justices’ Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch remained consistent with their earlier decisions to hear the cases and settle the disputes. Barrett never weighed in on the October injunction, but Kavanaugh has completely reversed his position with his denial of the writ.
Succinct encapsulation from Justice Thomas:
Here’s the embed of the decision. The PA case starts at page #25.
I think we are going into communism.
Nope. Fascism.
I would agree with communism, not fascism. Typically Fascism is right wing totalitarianism, and not left wing totalitarianism. Italian Fascism and German National Socialist Fascism are the two best examples. What the Demonrats are closest to would be Marxism/Communism. Either way, they are both totalitarianism systems. One is on the right, the other on the left.
How about socialism/communism/Marxism/fascism – we are getting the whole shebang of corruptness.
Fascism is NOT “Right Wing totalitarianism”. That’s a myth started by the Left, and now used to justify calling Trump supporters NAZIs.
It’s also used to justify their laughably misnamed Fascists “AntiFa”. *Everybody* who has honestly watched AntiFa at “work”, KNOWS AntiFa are the real Fascists in any situation they involve themselves in.
Quit being brainwashed by the MSM. sheesh.
ALL Gov./Corp. Totalitarianism is Left Wing.
Extreme Individual FREEDOM from Gov./Corp. control is the “Extreme Right”.
Nope. Racism is right eing
Wing.
Racism in this country historically was left wing and still is today. Today’s dems are every bit as racist as when they founded and embraced the KKK.
The segregationists were Democrats, and big supporters of FDR. FDR excluded blacks from New Deal programs to keep their support.
Biden bragged about his friendship with the rump group of Democrat segregationists. Sleepy Joe recently discussed blacks’ inability to use the internet. Same old Democrats..
Fascism is “right-wing” only on the fraudulent European political scale and is used to discredit conservatives and glorify leftism.
On the American scale, which is based on degree of liberty or extent of government power we find on the far left, total law, ie totalitarianism with no personal liberty. On the far right we find zero law, ie (ironically) anarchy, and, as a consequence, no genuine freedom as there is none to protect the innocent nor restrain the unjust.
Fascism and Communism are siblings, separated by a small but inevitable increment in devolution of human freedom. Both are species of socialism. The differences virtually a matter of semantics. They are not at either extreme of degree of liberty, they are both at the extreme of total government power.
The conflation of these two political scales is a willful semantics game intended to serve the ends of the left and we ought not fall into their trap to create political ignorance and confusion and to empower their effort to defame conservatism as a species of near-fascism.
Wrong. A monarchy is right wing. Fascism is a little to the left of a monarchy. cimmunsum
So you think the UK’s constitutional Monarchy is right wing…beyond absurd,
Well stated. It depends on the scale utilized but in terms of political geometry where left means more government control leading to tyranny, then right is less government control (libertarianism) and leads to no control or anarchy (Lord of the flies stuff). So Fascism and Communism are indeed left wing.
In this model, conservativism is in the center as it “conserves” the original intent i.e. Constitutionalist. It’s clever/shrewd that Dems label conservatives as right wing–thus a compromise between left and right always moves slightly left. Some media talking heads like Britt Hume say we are a center-right country–no, based on original design we are a center-left country and moving left every day. Our country has never been more libertarian than when originally founded.
Fascism is the collusion of BIG CAPITAL and BIG GOVERNMENT. Under Communism, there is no BIG CAPITAL. The State owns ALL the CAPITAL.
The present U.S. State is a FASCIST State.
I’m sorry, but that is completely incorrect. Fascism is not of the right. In the American framework, the Left pushes centralising power with government and the Right stands for limiting government power and maximising individual liberty. This notion that somehow Fascism is of the Right, is one of the biggest lies, and now misconceptions. If you push the idea of limited government further and further to the ‘right’, you don’t get fascism or any form of totalitarianism. You get the sovereign citizen, you get anarchy. Please stop accepting the premise that fascism is of the right. Fascism: everything inside the State, and nothing outside of it. Nazism: national socialism. By definition, neither of these is of the right.
Fascism is NOT right wing! It is a leftist construct. Right by definition, denotes LESS government, not more. Fascism is MORE government, hence, it is leftist, as are ALL efforts at more government anything.
Shit sakes. Conservatives don’t even know the difference between fascism and communism. Nor do they even know the historical meaning of right wing and left wing. They’ve actually reversed it. No wonder we are losing.
You apear to have been brainwashed by the commie degenerates running the schools during the failed Obama regime.
The fact you think Socialist Fascism is on the right is absolutely fascinating.
What side do you place Big Government? Left or right?
Nope. Communism.
“You Think” ha.
Are there any laws now that I need to obey?
Depends…which tier of justice do you fall into?
It really is a puzzle isn’t it. Why does one have to obey laws that themselves are made by criminals?
‘Cuz dey got da guns.
No
Are you . . . white?
If you are a white conservative, you are guilty.
R U white ?
Maybe not so much?
None…once you change your voter registration
If you are a Demoncrapper, it’s clear sailing. Do whatever you like. Our country is broken.
Apparently, requiring adherence to the law depends upon what your political leanings/affiliation are and who’s currently in power. This is a VERY bad place to be….
Now that elections are no longer legal processes how long before factions kill each other? The Supreme Court has condemned this country to eventual chaos. Not this year or next, chaos will advance by degree. It’s only a matter of time.
Hopefully tomorrow….God willing.
Well I guess that leaves the military as the final Hail Mary to save our country. beyond that it requires “We the People” to actually rise up.
The military is part of the Deep State / Establishment.
*IMO the Military “leadership” is part of the DeepState / Establishment.
Remember the movie Pentagon Wars (1998) with Kelsey Grammer. Story of a cover up in the military.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon_Wars
The United States has a military?
Only to protect other countries. We shed our precious blood to protect elections in the Middle East but give a big middle finger to our own people. We just lost our country, folks, and no one in the military is going to save us.
Yes we do … and thanks to Obalama Joe, they’re having a gay old time in the barracks.
What is left of it is directed by a former board member from Raytheon.
He has a 60-day “stand down” for the purpose of shame-and-blame humiliation sessions against “extremism”, i.e., any one who voted for or is sympathetic to Trump or the larger MAGA movement is a “White extremist”.
We may suffer an attack from the CCP PLA, or, maybe missiles from the Iranians while in our self-inflicted stupidity and weakness. Weakness invites attack.
Hope they aim the missel at DC. Honestly, I would not care. We could always rebuild. Flight 93 should have let the terrorists take out the capital bldg on 9/11. Not one single real American in our government.
Yes their leadership is equal to the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers except no one has the sense of humor that Coach John McKay did.
To think we make fun of the French military when our Pentagon leadership sucks more than Heidi Fleiss.
They’re busy in Syria.
Haven’t you heard? The military is being purged. They’re not coming to our rescue. The only thing left is for We the People to rise up. And I don’t see that happening any time soon.
Yelp, you can’t even get most people to remove their mask. How in the hell are we going to rise up with mentality like that.
A lot of people I talk with fully expected this.
They have know for quite a while that we are on our own ( with Pres Trump’s help) when it comes to saving our country.
Congress, the Supreme court, and almost every other institution we have been able to depend on is useless.
It is us or nobody.
We need to get busy, acceptance of the situation and state of mind is very important.
I agree. But what are we really going to do besides just talk? We (myself included) need to put our money where our mouth is as they say. Sitting around banging away our frustrations on our laptops, tablets, etc. isn’t going to get anything done. But what, really, can we do? We need a leader who will lay out a plan for us to follow. And soon!
Boycott & shun. That’s a small step.
I hope Amy and Brett appreciate the world they are giving to their kids.
Their kids won’t know any difference. Their kids live in a bubble already. Their kids never lived and never will live in the real America. Their kids will go to the best schools and get the best jobs afterwards.
So no, they don’t give a shat what world they’re leaving to their kids.
If fascism ever comes to America, it will do so under the name of “liberalism”.
Now that fascism has come to America, it has come in the name of liberalism.
Fascism has indeed come to the United States via the US Supreme Court. And the radical “liberals”.
It is a “Repuplican” court
Even Ronald Reagan failed on his Supreme Court nominations and Robert Bork is the best example.
After failing to get Robert Bork as his first choice for Supreme Court justice, Ronald Reagan was forced to settle with Anthony Kennedy and look how that turned out in the end.
I remember when Comey came out and said Hillary had “no intent”. I told my husband, this is how they are going to try and change this country into their communist China loving ways. They are going to start making up new law language and therefore we the people will no longer protection by our own government. Hearing Garland state that ANTIFA and BLM rioting is okay because at night, but protestors at the capital during the days was not okay. There is no longer logic in our laws.
They fate of the United States was in the hand of lawyers. What the hell would go wrong there??
Really
A lawyer does nothing except what is good for their paychecks.
We were basically told to piss up rope. They pissed on our backs and said it was raining.
When civil war breaks out, and it is coming have no doubt, they and our Congress will be culpable.
We fought off the King of England to be free, we fought off multiple countries of Europe and the Japanese in World Wars
We killed each in a civil war over 100 years ago.
The one coming now will be the opportunity for them to bring forgein troops on our soil.
Everyone in DC is a lawyer and millionaires, what could go wrong?
Sorry Miss Powell you are the exception to the cess pool.
It seems Obama must still have something hanging over John Roberts…?
Pedo Island
Obama is the defacto president now.
Or maybe the traitors are willingly doing this. Isn’t it what the COC, the globalists all want? John Roberts is as big a traitor as Obama. Bush is just as bad as Clinton. McConnell just as bad as Pelosi. They are all willing traitors.
Millionaires depend on lackeys to do EVERYTHING for them.
Wash and clean and cook and dress them and well do every little thing that we do for ourselves they pay some one to do for them.
They are like tiny little children who must have their basic needs cared for.
This is a huge weakness.
Something to keep in mind.
Pampered gentry are not a infallible or unbeatable as they seem.
Oh they are vulnerable for sure.
But the people that have the ability and backbone to change things must go to work to support our children and the children of the socialist crowd
True but that’s why they want to turn this nation into a Chinese vassal state with Brazilian characteristics. This will increasingly become a nation of dog walkers and gardeners for the wealthy China Class of American elite.
What is SCOTUS actually needed for? Time to cut them lose. Biden should start trimming the fat on government since their only job is to cover up crime for the ‘in’ people.
Biden is one of the “in” people. So is McConnell and the rest of swamp!
Reminder to everyone here that the concept of “judicial standing” never once existed in our Constitution but was later invented by the Supreme Court under Chief Justice William Taft in 1922 to 1923.
Massachusetts v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447 (1923), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court rejected the concept of taxpayer standing. The case was consolidated with Frothingham v. Mellon.
The plaintiffs in the cases, Frothingham and Massachusetts, sought to prevent certain federal government expenditures which they considered to violate the Tenth Amendment. The court rejected the suits on the basis that neither plaintiff suffered particularized harm, writing:
“We have no power per se to review and annul acts of Congress on the ground that they are unconstitutional. The question may be considered only when the justification for some direct injury suffered or threatened, presenting a justiciable issue, is made to rest upon such an act…
The party who invokes the power must be able to show not only that the statute is invalid but that he has sustained or is immediately in danger of sustaining some direct injury as the result of its enforcement, and not merely that he suffers in some indefinite way in common with people generally.”
This case is considered the beginning of the doctrine of standing. Prior to it the doctrine was that all persons had a right to pursue a private prosecution of a public right.

They made up law on their own. Just to keep from doing their jobs.
Best government money can buy
Lin Wood said Clarence Thomas is patriot
Yes he is; his actions confirm the statement.
They don’t have the firepower to pack the court. Not even Roosevelt could when he had an overwhelming Dem majority in both houses. But that may indeed have been their motivation. I tend to believe political and judicial office holders are almost always about 20 years behind the times, and if that’s the case here, the Supremes are simply unaware of the currents that are roiling the nation.
I kindly disagree.
They know full well what they are doing
I don’t believe that was a motivation…why? They keep their seats for life what do they care how many others are on the Court. People here are always looking for threats or blackmail to explain things on the court: how about they are leftist swamp dwellers. Gorsuch did not live in DC when he was selected and I thought then he might be ok…and he is..ok. He swings alot but at least he swings..the leftist judges never sway from being leftists and now it looks like the 3 nothing burgers in the middle are swinging left unless it is some meaningless case no one cares about.
That is exactly right. Most of the justices are establishment republicans and side with the left over the GOP base. Roberts, Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch never were conservatives to begin with.
Voting Republican may not solve the issue of an utterly corrupt Supreme Court because there does not currently exist a Republican Congressman willing to both successfuly impeach and convict every Supreme Court justice aside from Alito and Thomas.
I also highly doubt the RNC will ever take the position of succesfully impeaching and covicting every Supreme Court justice aside from Alito and Thomas.
If the Court had done the right thing IMO then it would possibly led to the conclusion that the current President is illigitimate. Then what would happen? The Court doesn’t want to be in the position of declaring that and the chaos that would follow.
Thomas is right in his dissent the the Court merely dodged the issue.
Doing the right thing is not always easy.
They are cowards and traitors. They are allowing an illegitimate government to stand.
Yes. The majority took the easiest way out … … … for themselves.
Easy for now
Skip cleaning day, and the house just grows dirtier.
“Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett may have voted against the writ because they were concerned such a decision would cause the senate to start a process of “packing the court.”
—-
Have never contravened SD in my entire time here (that I can recall) but not so now. This claim is utter bullsh8t. Caving to the left never stops them. Kavanaugh and Barrett were never conservative. Especially that rat witch (with a B) Barrett.
You can see it in her eyes and her smile. Her eyes are crazy but there’s no one home. Same exact phony “I’m a likeable person” smile as Roberts. Both Roberts and Barrett have mental/emotional issues. They should never be on SCOTUS.
Maybe the dogma does live in her, we just didn’t know which dogma.
Roberts has a cemetery of skeletons to hide.
Hundred Percent!
General McInerney is on Telegram questioning if any of ACB’s kids were victims of human trafficking!!
My understanding is that may not be him.
Watch how stiff ACB is with her own family. Odd.
ACB is evidently a liberal.
I am very glad you catch it too..I commented it on Sunday…THOSE CRAZY EYES OF -OF ABB…….yes both have a mental issues…. and yes you do not have to be a pro body language reader to see that…VSG/ESG PDJT must be very disappointed with creature ABB….
THIS has absolutely NOTHING to do with being CONSTITUTIONAL.
STOP this madness….Either Constitutionally or NOT. SCOTUS not up there to test the wind direct or the temp of the electorate. THEY SIT ON SUPREME COURT TO FOLLOW THE US CONSTITUTION.
Obviously THOMAS is the ONLY ONE that does….God help when he retires though at this point, he’s ONE VOTE and that’s about all you can expect from SCOTUS.
I didn’t trust her. Something about the adopted children and the way she used them made me think her choice was purposeful instead of kind.
When I die, I want ACB and Kavanaugh to lower me into my grave, just so I can be let down one last time.
I hate to even admit how much this made me laugh. 🙁
Democrats will pack the court regardless! So, the Supremes will always vote for democrats now? So stupid!
the supreme MOOTS have spoken, “you will have NO Constitution, and you will be happy”
the THIEF in Chief is your new fearless leader
(submit, or you will soon be a headless contrarian)
May as well disband this group. They no longer serve the purpose for which it was created.
Can you hear that sound? It is 80+ million people nearing the breaking point. We are tired of the election fraud, scam-demic, corrupt DOJ/FBI/ SC and every last putrid politician at the local, state and federal level. The current puppet and friends are testing the limit of our patience. We don’t have 2 years or 4 years to fix it.
Around my area I hear nothing but people going about their business as if nothing much has changed but the party in office. I am literally at the point that I don’t think the American people will react to the chains being placed on them by their illegal government for a very long time and not until their pain is much more severe and their lives are empty of the normal goods, services and lifestyles they are used to.
So far, some maybe mad, some may even understand the dire circumstances we are facing, but not enough people are ready, willing and able to stand up and actually physically do something to take this country back. If we had some leaders ready to lead then there would be a lightening rod to go to but so far we don’t have that either. PTrump can only do so much. We need others who won’t back down and we need money and a public information service to reach people.
Like an addict or alcoholic, it seems the majority of people will not react until we all hit rock bottom with nowhere to go but up. Sad and very depressing how people can ignore what they do not want to recognize until it gets so bad there is no choice. By then they will have lost nearly everything they value and it will be very, very difficult to get it back.
When did criminality and fraud become moot in a court of law?
Another green light for the D.C. criminals to commit crimes–no one is ever punished if they are of the right class of people.
When PT45 gave We The People a voice. .Gov can’t grift and graft if We The People are in charge.
So , it looks like the SC is telling us that the only way for Constitution-Loving Voters to win the next Federal Election is to somehow get the computers into the hands of Constitutionalists.
Do I have this right, SC?
I’m done with the waiting, the expectations that the rule of law prevails….we have no justice….and we will have no peace…..
It would be nice to see the “Volunteer “ state step up and say Tennesseeya. I’m sick of the whole thing! It is rapidly becoming the time to either fish or cut bait. I am for getting out.
Texit, Flxit, Gaxit, Alxit, Laxit, Misxit, anybody else want to join our new club?
Oops, Mark I responded to you but inadvertently replied to Lou above
Georgia needs to clean up the corruption or they might as well stay in the communist states of amerika.
You are right over the target!
We must prepare NOW, before they take away the 2nd Amendment. Anybody who doesn’t get this after SCOTUS is asleep in a fog in the wheelhouse.
With SCOTUS and the military untrustworthy, we have little but keyboard outrage. Time to build, build build coalition of states, especially along both sides of the pipeline to leave, as is starting to happen in Texas. Texas needs to establish control over its (our) southern border and re-establish the predominance of its fossil fuels. We need a Congress, a Capital, education changes, a Supreme Court.
After SCOTUS, if people don’t get this—they are asleep in the wheelhouse of a boat going nowhere in a fog.
Censorship is going to settle in soon
Establish a completely different congress, Capital, etc. I like it. A convention of red states. The insanity must end. I don’t want to live in a communist dictatorship that can’t decide how many genders there are, certain races disparaged and exterminated (namely whites), and kindergarteners brainwashed and sexualized! We need a declaration of independence that states our grievances, just like the original colonists.
Idaexit.
Georgia? They are part of the problem.
kansit…..
I have given this much thought. They already call us enemies of the state for not accepting this election fraud and illegal occupation, or just voting for a sane government. If enough pressure by citizens is put upon red state gov they/we/us can refuse to comply to all fed royal decrees. Declare nat guard a state militia and enlist all able bodied men to report for training and active duty/reserve. If nat guard are traitors, overrun them. This is how the Croats defeated the Serbs. The Croats were almost completely defenseless and Clinton blocked them from getting weapons to defend themselves. Expats also smuggled in weapons. Join other red state militias. I would be glad to donate to fund a state militia. If fed says we’ll cut fed funding if you disobey our ministry of truth, state gov keeps all fed taxes and says FU like DeSantis. We must protect ourselves from their kneeling BLM communist armed goon squads and Orwellian nightmare. These goons love to make a big show and pick on unarmed people. Let us not be bullied and Ruby Ridged. A strong offense is a good deterrent. It’s quite clear we will never have our day in court. We will never get to audit or question China owned dominion machines or the takeover coup. The coup plotters will not allow it. They know that we know they cheated and they are all criminals. This is why they want an Orwellian ministry of truth to keep covering, and covering and covering, and intimidating, and intimidating. Does this sound like a constitutional republic? Does this sound like it will ever get any better? Do communist dictators ever give up power? If this insanity/economic shutdown keeps up at some point (in the very near future) we may have nothing left to lose.
Sometimes, I like the make the argument that the peak of human civilization may have been our ancient city states.
Attorney: My client can not be convicted, the alleged crime is in the past. “What difference at this point does it make?”
Judge: You’re right. Case dismissed for mootness.
I know, Ridiculous!
R.I.P. Rule of Law
The Court could have easily ruled that Court-packing was un-Constitutional despite any precedent to the contrary. They make stuff up anyway. But the fact is Justice Roberts and his liberal majority have been in on the Coup from the beginning. The entire Gangster Government has committed an Insurrection against the People.
Since they control all three branches now, many state governments, and the DOJ and the FBI, now that they have learned that they can simply elect themselves, why would they ever give up that power willingly?
They won’t, not willingly. We’re going to have to take it back.
Exactly. IMO we are quickly reaching the point of no return. With total gov information blackouts/censorship they can exterminate us and the world would never know. Every communist regime commits mass murders. This nightmare is quickly becoming reality.
Please dont give any pass to BK or ACB. They are two worthless justices that will be haunting us fore 30 years. On ACB the fought tooth and tail to replace RBG with a candidate not noticeably different.
Were they recommended to President Trump via Mitch McConnell, vetted by the Federalist organization, society, whatever?
Both the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation have spent decades, getting themselves involved with GOP picks for judges, and for what: a 99% failure rate in producing another judge like Clarence Thomas.
The handwriting has been on the wall for sometime. The Roberts Court has one overriding focus; protect the court from anything controversial and let the constitution be damned.
Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393.
You know it.
So much for President Trump’s 3 supreme court picks. All useless. Not one has courage to do the right thing.
Seems like Kavanaugh gave up on the Constitution, which he clutched in his hands during his entire confirmation hearing. Or was it just a prop.
I think Gorsuch has some use…
This proves that we need to do away with the extremely misguided notion that just because a candidate for Supreme Court Justice clerked for Scalia or Thomas in the past doesn’t mean that they will not turn out to be a super huge RINO once he or she is successfully confirmed as a Supreme Court justice.
We need to start seeing Supreme Court Justices as just another form of a Congressman except worse because they are all unelected tyrants in black robes and just missing the powdered wigs that their counterparts wear in Britain.
Gorsuch was on the same side as Thomas.
Somebody has photos of Kavanaugh and Roberts cavorting with a goat, and Barrett sacrificing a kitten.
Hobson’s Choice: Hear the writ that obviously needs to be heard, or stand down and avoid the Senate packing the court. So why do we have SCOTUS? Scared if they do, and scared if they don’t. They will be so without explanation when this finally blows up in their black-robed faces.
If the SC has decided that we don’t need a Clean Voting System…….then do we need a SC anymore?
Serious question.
Kavanaugh and Barrett and afraid of ruling in favor of Trump on anything and, Alito and Thomas excepted, because of the threat of packing the court by Biden and company.

Well, all the protests and threats worked.
If a new Constitution were ever written, I would suggest we only have 2 branches of government instead of 3 branches like we have now because after seeing 4 years of the Judicial and Legislative Branch working together to destroy President Trump, I see the great flaws of having 3 branches of government.
It would be better to just have 2 branches of government so that President Trump would only need to defend himself from the Legislative Branch by protecting his front instead of also having to worry about the Judicial Branch attacking his back at the same time.
What I know of the Supreme Court, I largely learned from Bob Woodward’s book The Brethren (1979).
The Justices of that era spent a huge amount of their time discussing what would protect and preserve the institution of their Court. I suspect nothing much has changed. All this talk about court packing has largely been an exercise in steering (if not extorting) the Justices into delivering the election into the hands of the Uniparty.
In our incipient fascist state, “eat me last” has become the universal motto. And so many powerful people are of late middle-age, or older, and they’ve worked so long and hard to get where they are. They just want to cling to the trappings of power for a little while longer.
Our national debt and deficit scream out that we are a short-term culture. When you stop having children (largely), and you stop believing in the judgement that awaits in an after-life (again, largely), you become a people of the here and now.
Not at all surprised. The supreme court has previously told us they will not save the election. Roberts is compromised. If we want this country saved, we are going to have to do it ourselves.
On the positive side, I was expecting they would drag this out, run out the clock, give us hope, then let us down. I am happy to see a prompt decision. A lesson to be learned is, don’t count on someone else to solve our problems. I am not counting on Sidney Powell or Mike Lindell to take on Dominion and solve the issue of corrupt ballot counting either. Bottom line, if we want it fixed, we must do it ourselves.
It is our responsibility to solve the election issues at the state level. Patriots in Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Virginia have work to do. We cannot allow our elected officials to continue to allow the use of corruptible voting machines and election processes. We are going to have to solve this at the state level. Whatever it takes. We have work to do.
Yes, at least now the patch is clear.

When the PA State Supreme Court can overrule the PA Legislature at will, in direct violation of the PA State Constitution and US Constitution, with the blessing of the US Supreme Court…
I suppose we should ask if one party to a contract refuses to abide by it, and those responsible for arbitration and enforcement refuse to uphold it, is there really any contract at all?
Each state “government” can decide who they want as President now. No point in voting since they pull out what ballots they want to elect the candidate of their choosing.
If it’s legal to pack the SC, is it legal to unpack it?
I can’t tell if Sundance is justifying their decision to punt or not. Regardless, this is a travesty. Not unexpected, but a travesty nonetheless. And to think how excited and happy the treehouse was when Kavanaugh and Barrett were confirmed. Said it then, I’ll say it again – they aren’t Trump picks, they are McConnell picks. Don’t expect them to do anything that would help We The People or Trump. Not here for a told ya so. People just need to look at situations with more clarity.
Since when does the Constitution require the Sumpreme Court to consider what the impact will be if they rule one way or another? Quit playing politics, Robert’s, and do your job and let the chips fall where they may.
The State of Texas did not have standing against fraud.
Elected representatives did not have standing against fraud.
American citizens did not have standing against fraud.
Now are concerns as a group against fraud are moot.
The only one left with standing is the federal government of DC. Everyone is else is one else has no right before the court or their rights are moot.
All God given rights have been wiped out by a bunch of lawyers who think they are royalty and we have no right to question this destruction of America.
Damn them, damn them all
agree
The emerging neo-feudalism has tremendous appeal.
The sinecure of being a supreme court justice whose rulings in the end are irrelevant, has tremendous appeal. The few people who care get to be impressed by your intellectual heft, while the powerful cite or ignore you at their convenience. The ivory tower remains endlessly appealing to the smart and wimpy.
The intellectual has, throughout history, attached himself to the politically powerful. Read Machiavelli or Eric Hoffer. Luther and Hegel went from being revolutionary figures, to apologists for the ruling class. John Roberts will now close out his professional legal career apologizing and rationalizing for the strong men that loom.
Disagree with your assessment SD. ACB and Kavanagh could not give a crap about court packing. They went along with Roberts because they are compromised cowards. Forget about SCOTUS. They are just another branch of the DEEP STATE. We are surrounded on all sides. Buckle up my friends. God help us.
I agree, we are analyzing this to deeply, they are what you said they are, nothing more…

At 2am on a Sunday night an ICE Aircraft is carrying a criminal illegal alien for deportation to a Central American country. The illegal alien has exhausted all of his appeals and an immigration judge issued a final deportation order but an activist federal judge in Boston ordered the ICE aircraft flying over the Atlantic Ocean to turn around and return to Boston where upon landing the illegal alien is to be set free. Was the illegal alien’s case moot since a final deportation order was issued and the aircraft was over the Atlantic Ocean about to land in a foreign country????? Why does President Trump have less rights in America than a criminal illegal alien?????
The court packer veto.
USA is no longer a Republic enjoying equitable rule of law and government with consent of the governed. A civil war is already underway, but only one side is waging it.
Looks like things are going to get much worse before they get better. Highly unlikely there can be any meaningful elections in 2022 or 2024.
Conservatives will be marginalized and attacked until either they lack any means to resist or, if they do, they will quickly be either incarcerated or put down.
It shouldn’t matter whether or not the dems would pack the court; the law is the law. So no one has standing and voter fraud runs rampant and President Trump’s accountants have to give up his tax records so they attempt to find a crime.
The Supreme Court is worthless in my opinion….as crooked as the rest of them. A pox on their souls although I doubt they have any.
And they will find a crime because don’t you know if they say it is a crime, then by golly it IS a crime.
The Supreme Cucks are worthless and crooked. And I don’t have the words to describe how disheartened, disillusioned and disgusted I am.
My apologies to Justices Alito and Thomas and perhaps Gorsuch. They seem to be the only 3 we can count on.
Then let’s get Biden’s and camel toes taxes.
You fix this problem from the bottom up. Local offices. File lawsuits to be able to inspect voter rolls and demand that unqualified be removed from the voter rolls.
Get mean, nasty and fearless poll watchers assigned in voting districts like Fulton County, Ga and Wayne County, Mi. When they say you can’t do the job that the law says you CAN, defy them. Call the police. Have the laws right in front of you. Either they do it the right way or they are forced to physically remove you from the vote counting.
File lawsuits to have Dominion de-certified at the local level.
WE WILL NEVER WIN A BATTLE IF WE AREN’T WILLING TO FIGHT IT!
I thought about the packing the Court stuff, but you don’t have be even a smart 5th grader to understand that that threat will be with the Court as long as Americans have not sliced and diced the Dem party.
Looking at this realistically, those three could say to themselves, “What? I’m going to spend my life protecting whatever crazy ideas the Dems shove down our throats. What kind of life, what kind of career is that?”
Every issue can be looked at in this way, not just this one.
I wouldn’t mind if there were 535 justices in the Supreme Court because at least, it would do away with the illusion that the Supreme Court isn’t just an extra arm of Congress and that Supreme Court justices have always been politicians in black robes.
One of these days, ya’ll will finally figure out that you are playing a game that is totally rigged against you.
Yep, their judicial careers are more important than the peasants, they sicken me to the core.
It’s beyond careers at that point. There you have honor or you don’t, IMO and I’m curious about newest justice if she has honor. Roberts does not obviously.
Robert Barnes has reviewed her record, and was warning early that she tends to protect institutions and authority structures…Not individuals, not principles, not truth.
Another GD STATIST … LIKE BARR.
I’m currently reading a book by James Perloff, titled: Truth Is A Lonely Warrior. From what I have read so far– the book appears to be confirming your post….
However, the big boy players of this game may have underestimated one thing– the most dangerous creature on this earth is a man that has nothing more to lose….
I think we have realized that for quite awhile. We just keep thinking we can somehow figure out how to beat it anyway. Someday we will.
