Go ahead and continue to bury your head in the sand since "your guy" won by all means necessary, even breaking the law to do so.
He's not making it easy for the S.Ct. to rule for him by blasting what they should do if they have great Wisdom and Courage. Just be quiet about the Court (while still going off on the stolen election and fraud), and that way if they decide for you they don't look like they are doing as, err, bidden. The Court wants to avoid the appearance of partiality.will25u said:

He can't. He made up all of this stuff and now he has to follow the lie that over 50 million people believe to the end. Sad really really because it could have terrifying consequences for the country.
Right, he "made it up." Great argument (which conveniently ignores the mountains of evidence). Interesting that Trump's "lies" have duped multiple states, multiple attorneys and attorneys general, and half the country.FIDO_Ags said:Quote:

Opinions by some mainstream conservative types seem to be this was a well crafted legal play by TX and co, unlike some of the other challenges that were filed over last several weeks, but since SCOTUS is not going to want to start an actual Civil War, this attempt will also fail (in terms of affecting 2020) and just a question of exactly how the rejection response is delivered over next couple of days.

"You guys cheated"
"Uh uh"
"Uh huh"
"Uh uh"
"The future of the Republic is at stake"
"Uh uh"
"Civil War is coming, you won't be laughing long"
"Whatever"
And the needle didn't move, and the only actions taken have been more posting about the same. And unfortunately, whichever way SCOTUS decides, this will be the continued trend, one way or another, for the next 4 years.
You may be right, probably are, but that doesn't make it right. There has not been a proper investigation and the laws passed by state legislatures were not followed making this election a complete travesty.Pumpkinhead said:Lorne Malvo said:Pumpkinhead said:

Not burying my head in sand. Just stating the 2020 election isn't going to get overturned. And just another 48 hours before the EC nail is hammered in.
That is what's going to happen. Now maybe some of this stuff going on will have an impact on how future elections are conducted, but 2020 has about run its course.
Agreed, sometimes Trump should clam up.Faustus said:He's not making it easy for the S.Ct. to rule for him by blasting what they should do if they have great Wisdom and Courage.

Obviously this wasn't meant for the S.Ct. though, but for his audience.
Yes, why yes he can.AggieRain said:You can't honestly believe this, right?FIDO_Ags said:Quote:

on the starting a civil war, does that happen only if SCOTUS doesn't take the case or decides Texas doesn't have standing?
or does it still start a civil war if SCOTUS decides Texas has standing, but rules PA, GA, etc. win the case?
At some point, it has to come down to this:
Is there clear evidence of election fraud in this election or not?
If there is, then I argue that ANY fraud proven, no matter how benign it may seem, raises doubt about the election as a whole, and if there is any "proven" fraud, then the whole process in each state where some form of fraud is "prove" needs to be thrown out because it is tainted...
Having arguments about "okay, so there was fraud, but there wasn't enough to change the outcome" is the wrong way to look at this...
Any fraud "proven" means the whole thing is tainted, and the results simply cannot be trusted...
If the court finds enough evidence that some fraud occurred, then they need to step in and tell the state legislatures to take action and appoint their electors...
Now, the final outcome might still be the same...so be it...
But it at least takes the fraud angle out of it and allows the law to be used to resolve the issue constitutionally...
If you don't, and you just leave this dangling in the wind, you are asking for trouble...
It would be surprising if there was no state with fraud that could not be proven.
If a political party expected to lose the election, they could just have someone commit fraud and then they could jump up and down and yell "FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD", have the election thrown out, and go to the state legislature.
No election should be overturned unless the actual amount of fraud is proven to have changed the result of the election.

I probably could have believed that a political party would sell it's entire soul to try to overturn an election if you'd told me. But I would said you were full of **** if you'd said it would be for Donald Trump. It doesn't even sound plausible and it's happening as we speak. It's like America has a brain parasite.

The number of states joining this, makes it that much more credible and unconscionable for the SC to refused to hear the case.

Adding more poo to the pile doesn't improve the smell. This is going down in flames.
