Believe me, Gorsuch and Kavenaugh have already gotten out the hoops so all the Republican Justices can jump through them while reciting why this new evidence doesn’t affect their decision to allow the citizenship question.
If the SC rules in their favor because this new info isn’t in the record and the question is allowed in the Census do the Repugs pick up another 10 years of electoral advantage in all the elections for that entire ten years? Seems like they would.
Hey tRump Census Bureau, I found another tRump voter for you…
Only a true American citizen would do dumb shit like this. Probably descended from people on the Mayflower.
Ima go with doubling down on “there’s no more racism in America.” Stare decisis, amirite Justice Roberts?
Na, it’ll just be “I like Beer” repeated over and over.
Republican rational: its not perjury if I do not get caught, tried, and convicted and even then it’s still not perjury if I get pardoned.
I’ve said that for thirty years. Hasn’t happened yet, but I still have hope. That tree of liberty is looking awfully thirsty, I’m thinking.
Perjury, schmerjury. Expect a motion to suppress this evidence because it violates the longstanding and sacred principle that “evidence must always favor Republicans.”
“The letter, filed with the Supreme Court’s clerk, didn’t request that the justices take any new actions with regards to the evidence.”
Why the fuck not?
Probably because the Supremes do whatever the fuck they want. They’re not limited to briefs or evidence presented, so they can make their decisions based on the phase of the moon if they like.
They’ve certainly seen the news, so they are aware of this, and it will certainly be a part of the final 5-4 Decision from Roberts committing himself to the Republican Cause.
Impeach the commerce secretary as a warm-up exercise.
Party above country. Facts, evidence and the law matter will matter little to the boofer-rapist and other conservatives on the Court who see themselves as minions marching lock step for the Party.
OT but it’s trump
There’s nothing like civilian rocketry. Remember, this is how NASA got started and we did get to the moon.
This is Dr Robert Goddard…
I would bet dollars to donuts that there is a ton of this kind of evidence lying around on Federalist Society hard drives on every case since Bush v Gore to Citizens United to the Voting Rights Act cases.
These folks don’t believe in democracy and they don’t believe in a nation of laws. It all about them exercising raw and untrammeled power.
This will be ignored, the question will be on the census and the GOP will win another fight to disenfranchise millions of voters. It’s the Brave New World in which we live. Our Democratic leaders have no idea how to fight the political battles facing them. We’re on our own, fellow travelers. The utter lack of spine on the part of Dems will also result in another term for the Orange Fecal Stain. Remember, his policies enormously enrich the elite Democrats whose wealth increases with every GOP fiscal/monetary policy.
Good post.
The flaw in their logic, as the nazis discovered, is that they’re mortal
Perhaps not. Let’s not start opening the cyanide capsules just yet
That study and other key Hofeller documents were only obtained by the challengers because his estranged daughter found his back-up hard drives while going through his belongings after his death.
And there are people who will tell you god is dead
