To believe that Biden got more legitimate votes than any candidate in history before or since, all without campaigning and with very limited public appearances, staying mostly in his basement, requires an almost religious fervor.

So much such subterfuge to get the monument you want to build to your self.
Which monument would that be and to whom?
When you have TDS, everything in the world is all about Trump...
Trump has been in a frenzy building and naming things as monuments to himself. Trump is the one making everything about himself!
This isn't a monument to Trump and you know it. It's a much needed addition to the White House complex. One that will benefit presidents of both Parties for decades to come.
If you guys had just left him alone 10 years ago and let him serve out his first term in relative peace, none of this would be happening. But you couldn't stand it, so you went in guns blazing, and in the end all it did was get him re-elected to a second term four years later than it should have been. And y'all gave him four years in between terms to figure out how he was not only going to accomplish his agenda, but to go nuclear on your side along the way. Look on the bright side. You've only got 2-1/2 more years of Trump.
He had his name added to the Kennedy Center, you an count on his name appearing on the "big, beautiful ballroom, if they ever get the catastrophe of the reflecting pool straightened out, a plaque with Trump's name will probably appear, the Arch de Trump is on it's way. Probably a giant statue to the narcissist is in the works.
Again, none of this would be happening if you had just accepted 2016 and moved on. You mess with a guy like Trump, particulary trying to destroy him politically, financially, and personally, he's going to mess with you 10x worse if he gets the chance. The left is reaping exactly what they sowed.

Thread derail. This has nothing to do with the White House renovations.
BREAKING: #SCOTUS Order signed by the Chief Justice allows construction on the WH ballroom complex to CONTINUE ... for now. It is not a full adjudication on the merits. It is a pause on the lower court decision that had called for a halt to some of the construction.

Yes but he should rightfully have given directions to dismiss with prejudice due to lack of standing. Someone is writing an emotional dissent, I suspect. SCOTUS can do whatever the heck they want with this stuff.

I don't think thats how it works.
Can you name a case where SCOTUS directed a lawsuit be dismissed when ruling on an application for administrative stay? I don't have any idea, but "never" is probably a safe guess!
Love your takes and you are right about the general patheticness of Roberts but your RDS is showing a bit on this one!
Im Gipper said:
Did you read the Deakins case? You aren't rally going to claim that's what happened here are you?
ETA: neither case is the same as what you wanted here.
Quote:
In light of respondents' aforesaid representation to this Court, there is no longer a live controversy between the parties over whether a federal court can hear the equitable claims, and the abstention issue is moot in this regard. Accordingly, the portion of the Court of Appeals' judgment addressing those claims is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss the claims with prejudice.
Im Gipper said:
Deakins was AFTER oral arguments on the merits! The case had been fully briefed!
In Arave, they granted the party's motion to dismiss his appeal!
In neither case was it a situation anything like what we have here! The Administration asked for a stay, and got it.
So keep looking for a case where SCOTUS dismissed a case when all that was asked for was an administrative stay.
Why didn't Thomas or Alito say the case should be dismissed right now? Since the Court can just do whatever it wants without regard to process.

The process matters less than the politics to Roberts, and that's all I will say about that here, as with his statement admonishing Trump for his comment about 'Obama judges.'

I'm sure your rabid case of TDS led you to think that was witty and funny. Carry on.
Quote:
The Supreme Court on Monday handed a win to President Donald Trump by allowing him to move forward indefinitely with the construction of his new White House ballroom.
The court, divided 5-4, granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration, blocking lower court rulings that would have put the aboveground portion of the project on hold. This followed an interim decision along similar lines issued by Chief Justice John Roberts on Aug. 21.
The legal challenge was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which argued that the president did not have unilateral authority to proceed with construction.
In the unsigned ruling, the court said that the trust likely does not have legal standing to bring the underlying lawsuit. The court did not reach any conclusion on whether Trump has authority to carry out construction without congressional approval.
