HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s highest court on Saturday night threw out a lower court’s order preventing the state from certifying dozens of contests on its Nov. 3 election ballot in the latest lawsuit filed by Republicans attempting to thwart President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the battleground state.
So how many more lawsuits get filed today? 3? 5? It appears to be Groundhog Day in PA…seemingly every day I read about a dismissed suit from the Keystone state.
Dunno the last time I heard any of the supreme courts dismiss a lawsuit with prejudice… Maybe they need to start sanctioning and disbarring the lawyers who are willing to run with these jokes of cases.
We really need to understand what led 70+ million people to sacrifice their capacity for rational thinking on the altar of psychopathic narcissism.
Donald Trump put the “id” in “idiot.”. He can set off broken bullshit detectors in five words or less. Kim Jong Un looks at him and wonders how he gets away with it.
An article in the most recent NYRB agrees with you…
The dominant power in the land, the undead Republican Party, has made majority rule aberrant, a notion that transgresses the new norms it has created. From the perspective of this system, it is Biden, and his criminal voters, who are the deviant ones. This is the irony: Trump, the purest of political opportunists, driven only by his own instincts and interests, has entrenched an anti-democratic culture that, unless it is uprooted, will thrive in the long term. It is there in his court appointments, in his creation of a solid minority of at least 45 percent animated by resentment and revenge, but above all in his unabashed demonstration of the relatively unbounded possibilities of an American autocracy. As a devout Catholic, Joe Biden believes in the afterlife. But he needs to confront an afterlife that is not in the next world but in this one—the long posterity of Donald Trump.
