President Trump - laying the foundation for a loss and realizing that....

[islandman]

....SCOTUS "doesn't have his back"?

More like trying to gin up support for him with the courts. Word is that since he's succeeded in the 6-3 scotus conservative stack and that most all of the vacant judge seats have been filled, that some evangelicals don't feel the same kind of pressure to support someone who is, to put it nicely, very unchristian.

I don't follow.

SCOTUS ruled that PA and NC could accept absentee ballots after 11/3. PA was unanimous; NC's had 3 dissenters. Had ACB dissented, it would have still been 8-1 and 5-4, respectively.

What role do Federal judges play in this?

I think Trump is in for a real surprise when/if a landslide Biden win reaches the Supreme Court. I think he's going to have run plumb out of powerful enablers before it gets to that point. His greatest talent is in pissing everyone around him off.

What's this bit with Cabinet members fanning out to campaign?

Hatch anybody?

The "Law and Order" administration.

They already violated that by holding portions of the Republican convention at the White House. But then, Trump has never been big on obeying the law.

I mean that since he's already stacked the courts with conservative judges, there are some evangelicals who no longer have that reason to vote for him. There were quite a few religious folks who held their nose and voted for him because of judge appointments.

 

[NickBarn89]

Yeah, that doesn't really make any sense from the OP to the post above this one. I think that the reaction here is the projected fear that the court will not deliver that which cannot be won legislatively.

 

[NickBarn89]

Wouldn't they hold their nose again in anticipation of even more Conservative judges at all levels? That's why none of this makes any sense; it's all projection.

Are you saying that once someone is a cabinet level official, they don't have any First Amendment Rights?

I've learned from watching The West Wing that Cabinet members can do that so long as they don't use any government services in the process of and are on leave without pay for the duration.

Turns out that's actually what's done.

Can he flee to another country?

I want him to go away.

Not until NYC's done with him.

We're gonna make bone marrow soup from all the taxes he's dodged, his mammy's homebase of Scotland can have him back after that.

No to Scotland.

We're emptying out Rikers just for him.
