Trump's Road to the Supreme Court Isn't as Fast as He Wants

Donald Trump said he will go to the U.S. Supreme Court because he wants “all voting to stop,” as he tries to hold on to early leads in key battleground states.

He won’t be able to go there immediately and it’s not clear he has a legal argument that could affect the outcome of the election.

Cases typically work their way to the nation’s highest court after a ruling by a local judge and then other appeals courts. In 2000, it took more than a month before the Supreme Court issued the landmark Bush v. Gore ruling that ultimately decided that year’s election.

As counting continues in states including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, Trump said in an early morning speech -- in which he also falsely claimed victory -- that the tabulation delays were an “an embarrassment to our country.”

And at that point, what will his argument be? Throw out legitimate ballots because they were not counted fast enough? He’ll be laughed out of court.
