VT's Election Chief Asks SCOTUS To Correct Error In Kavanaugh Opinion

[Gothmog]

Kavanaugh's opinon here was a piece of crap that would get a F on a law school exam. The VT. election chief was correct to ask for a correction https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/vermont-correction-kavanaugh-concurrence

Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos (D) formally requested, via a letter to the clerk of the Supreme Court, that a Justice Brett Kavanaugh opinion that mischaracterized the state’s plans for the election be corrected.

In his concurrence explaining why he was voting in favor of a requirement that Wisconsin absentee ballots be received by Election Day, Kavanuagh argued that courts should defer to state legislatures when it came to adjusting election rules for the pandemic.

Kavanaugh pointed specifically to Vermont as a state that has “decided not to make changes to their ordinary election rules, including to the election-day deadline for receipt of absentee ballots.”

That assertion was wrong, as Condos’ letter Wednesday pointed out. Vermont made two major changes, because of the pandemic, to how it was handling the election. Its legislature approved the proactive sending of mail ballots to all active registered voters. And Condos additionally okayed a policy that will allow local election officials to begin processing absentee ballots 30 days before the election.

“These two actions factored significantly in our decision to hold to existing law requiring the election day receipt of mailed ballots rather than extending returns beyond election day based on postmark,” Condos said.

Beyond just noting the factual error, Condos’ letter argued that the election changes that Vermont embraced made it a poor comparison point for Wisconsin, where the legislature has pointedly refused to let the processing of absentee ballots begin earlier or pass other laws that would help absentee voters get their ballots in sooner.

3. SINCE WHEN doess a USSC justice give an off the cuff opinion like that?

I've never heard of one doing that. They typically save their opinions for cases and issue formal ones rather than running their mouths to reporters or whatever.

But this is Rapenaugh, frat-brat dujour.

His doing that alone (notwithstanding his grossly ignorant and erroneous 'opinion) tells us he and the cons on that court have ZERO integrity and ZERO intention of dispensing justice. They're just political tools installed there to impose minority rule on the rest of us.

7. Remember that it is

their clerks who actually do the work.

But Kavanaugh certainly did NOT even proof the opinion and probably has POS clerks.

9. Roberts is going to muzzle the brat

He's got enough problems worrying about the 4 to 6 new justices a Biden Senate will confirm without also dealing with a dreadfully unqualified, mouthy, immature, political hack like McRapey embarrassing the court with his ignorance.
