Trump to try to invalidate all mail-in ballots in PA

[VMA131Marine]

He’s going to get smacked down in every court, but he’s going to take it all the way to SCOTUS where he has a few favours to call in.

1. States' rights mean nothing to this clown. 😡

[roamer65]

8. The Repukes only want states rights when it suits their corrupt agenda.

It’s always a one way street with the deplorables.

2. Translation:

“We don’t think votes from Black people and Democrats should count.”

It’s the new Jim Crow with a twist.

Republicans are loathsome.

3. His voters also had access to the mail.

[Hugin]

17. +1

There you go in a nut shell.

[Statistical]

18. Exactly. The whole thing is BS but that kills it dead as a doornail.

There is no equal protection violation if someone chooses to vote in person instead of by mail. It would be like choosing to have a bench trial not a jury trial and saying your equal protection rights were suppressed because you didn't have a jury trial like other defendants.

[Hugin]

19. Throw in the fact that PA and all States have allowed absentee ballots for decades.

And, some of the counties in PA had more mail-in-ballots cast for Trump than Biden with disenfranchising the military as a cherry on top.

It's deader than a former Trump administration's appointee's career.

4. This ia all a GOP/RNC plan to grift more money from their cult.

They are so far in debt that their only hope is to bleed their cult dry with lame lawsuits and recounts which is a BS ploy.

$$$$$$$$$$$ GOP RNC

12. This. They'll withdraw/stop any action before they get to SCOTUS

No chance of winning and the humiliation would be, well . . . supreme.

23. Love your awesome sig pix!

[Maru Kitteh]

24. Thanks! Joe Biden campaign has a GIPHY account, so many

awesome ones there https://giphy.com/joebiden

5. Wow, the drama

He loses even without the "late" ballots. And every reasonable court will tell him he wait far too long after the voting s system was created by law to make a complaint at this time.

6. Citing Constitutional grounds. Obviously to go to SCOTUS

Will Roberts stand by his word?

[Roland99]

29. they can claim Equal Protection all they want. As valid as trump making his claim on wins last week

and me making a claim to the all the gold in Ft Knox (er, well, the Federal Reserve now)

FL handles mail-in ballots in the exact same manner as PA and PA's state legislature (both houses) are republican-led so I seriously doubt they'd be passing election laws that would come back and bite them in the ass and potentially kick them out of power.

This is so much smoke-and-mirrors

[underpants]

30. I know but SUPREME COURT is a great fund raiser

We’re taking this to the Supreme Court! Oh and uh we might throw in something about fetuses having guns too. Please give what you can!

[Roland99]

31. ha!

[Rice4VP]

7. So like absentee ballots in all of the other states. Pathetic

[VMA131Marine]

10. States have different methods for validating mail-in ballots

But, if Trump were successful in this case he would certainly go after mailed in votes in every other state that he lost. There’s no way this should be successful but SCOTUS is accountable to no one.

9. There are limits. The would-be traitors on SCOTUS aren't likely to

. . . endorse such an insane proposition. I think they would be shaking in boots that endorsing such a blatantly crazy proposition would be going too far. . . Far enough for a couple Republican Senators to cross over and vote to remove them after the House impeaches for treason.

And after their removal, Biden and pro-democracy groups file a case and the remaining members of the court set things right.

And that would open up some seats for Biden to fill.

I say, give it your best and watch it bite you in the butt one way or another. In a shameful slapdown, or treasonous action that losses them their precious seats on the court.

[msongs]

11. they can and they will if they get the chance. their loyalty is to der fuhrer nt

[pat_k]

15. I really don't see every Repub refusing to remove the black robbed traitors. . .

when the House impeaches them for their coup attempt.

If they go that way, I really don't see it ending well for them.

Of course, I could be wrong.

[Progressive Jones]

16. SCOTUS doesn't need Trump anymore. They can save face, and get rid of a problem

all at once by not giving Trump his way.

[JI7]

13. I kind of want to see what he does if it does get to the SC and the ones he picked rule against him

[VMA131Marine]

14. If SCOTUS is smart

They won’t go near this case; they won’t grant cert.

[pat_k]

21. Yep. I think the absurdity of the claims goes too far.

Fear of House impeachment for attempted coup for handing down a "keep DT in the WH" decision and chance of four republicans going along with Dems on removal would be hanging over their heads.

Even if the chance of four or more republicans voting to convict is slim, there is a chance. These are not courageous people.

[Wednesdays]

26. They would need twenty GOP senators, not four.

Conviction requires two-thirds of the Senate, not just a simple majority.

[pat_k]

28. Of course. I'm thinking of simple majority to impeach. My bad.

[blogslut]

20. Their whole "case" is conjecture.

I skimmed the suit doc. There's dramatic, descriptive language in it but I didn't see any proof to back up their claim of a two-track system.

[Bayard]

22. I want recounts on the states he won

[Alhena]

25. This lawsuit has no chance of succeeding- this is the kind of issue you raise beforehand

instead of after people have already voted. No court, not even SCOTUS, is going to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters after they played by the rules set going in, and which weren't challenged beforehand by Trump or anyone else.

[VMA131Marine]

27. Certainly, the timeliness of the suit is going to be an issue

These rules were known months ago.
