WI Supreme Court Delivers Blow To Trump An Hour Before Electors Seal Biden’s Win | Talking Points Memo

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A narrowly divided Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, ending Trump’s legal challenges in state court about an hour before the Electoral College was to meet to cast the state’s 10 votes for Biden.

“A significant portion of the public does not believe that the November 3, 2020, presidential election was fairly conducted,” Roggensack wrote.

Define “significant”. I believe you mean “a minority.” And besides, them’s tough bananas!

A significant portion of the public believes that Donald Trump killed Epstein to keep him from revealing the nature of their relationship.

Should he be charged?

Thankful in these perilous times.
That Trump and his cabal of screwups are wholly incompetent-- at everything.

Had this been the Bush core group? We’d be heading for a fascist dictatorship right about now.

Wow, 3 SC justices in Wisconsin are this completely off the reservation? That’s not encouraging for the future.

In the 4-3 ruling, the court’s three liberal justices were joined by conservative swing Justice Brian Hagedorn who said three of Trump’s four claims were filed too late and the other was without merit.In the 4-3 ruling, the court’s three liberal justices were joined by conservative swing Justice Brian Hagedorn who said three of Trump’s four claims were filed too late and the other was without merit.

Nothing to celebrate here. NOTHING. This is a giant warning sign. 3 of these motherfuckers wanted to upend an entire state election to hand themselves and their party permanent minority-rules hegemony by pretending that, without any evidence to go on, they should be the final arbiters of who gets to vote and have their vote count based solely on their arbitrary and capricious whims. The GOP is going to see this as evidence that they just need to work a little harder and they might be able to reach the tipping point.

Ya I’d hardly call that a blow, more like a major illegal coup that almost succeeded anyway.

“A significant portion of the public does not believe that the November 3, 2020, presidential election was fairly conducted,” Roggensack wrote.

It is incumbent upon the WI Supreme Court to intervene, interpret the relevant statutes to mean the opposite of their clear language, and deliver the state’s EC votes to Trump in contravention of the more significant portion of the public that believes the presidential election was fairly conducted and won by Biden. Chief Justice Roberts was clearly wrong when he said “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.”

“A significant portion of the public does not believe that the November 3, 2020, presidential election was fairly conducted,” Roggensack wrote. “Once again, four justices on this court cannot be bothered with addressing what the statutes require to assure that absentee ballots are lawfully cast.”

Instead of following conspiracies Justice Rottensack, perhaps you should have considered the facts of the case and decided based on that…
