Help me out here.

I went out of house for a few minutes to get some air and when I came back my husband says he just saw on TV (either MSNBC or CNN) two people who said that Trump's plan was to get this election to SCOTUS and have them over turn the election. I knew that, but he said the talking heads people said there was a fair chance it would work! Can someone who was tuned into those networks between 2 and 3 ET tell me what actually happened? I know one of GOP state board in Michigan is trying to stall and not certify. Is this a real thing or should I cut off my hubby's TV privileges'?

I was so looking forward to certs in PA and MI tomorrow. Sigh.

1. of course that is his plan now

his problem is, he has no proof - none at all - so he cannot even get the lower courts to give him the time of day....this isn't 2000, when the difference was literally a few hundred votes - Trump fucking LOST, and he is a LOSER

2. I'd say

there’s less than a 5% chance the Supreme Court would rule in favor of Trump. Probably less than that in reality. There’s a good chance they won’t even hear the case.

15. That's not too far from the odds given to him by FiveThirtyEight

3. We're a gun culture. If I were on the Supreme Court, I'd think twice about overturning the will of

The people. Just being realistic about how things could go.

11. That might even be the type of issue that would justify

the 2nd Amendment - we'd have the right to take the government back and institute one more in sync with our principles.

16. Liberals don't promote violence, but Trump and the GOP are pushing the limit.

4. The media loves to gin up drama

Always remember that.

8. On election eve, they were talking a 268 268 tie

It’s all bullshit. They are trying to sell ad time.

5. MSNBC said the republicans were challenging

Large amounts of votes to be thrown out during the Wisconsin recount - of course that was refused but has become the basis of another lawsuit. Guiliani told Fox News last week that he didn’t mind the losses because he wanted it to go to the Supreme Court.

6. Your concern is noted.

7. Daily Kos

There is a very good diary about this on Daily Kos. If the author is correct, Giuliani et al haven't a shot in hell with SCOTUS.

10. thanks

that's what I have been browsing for. I'm still making my husband take a TV time out

[Cha]

14. TY for this, zebrapa.

[treestar]

9. No they wouldn't

They don't just vote. They have to have an issue to grapple with. Even the right wingers on it would feel too stupid finding an issue where there is no evidence.

[paleotn]

12. And I'm playing mega millions scratch off!!!

I'm sure I'll win. Absolutely sure of it!! Nope.

[soothsayer]

13. SCOTUS is an appellate court. They can't file anything new, add evidence or anything like that

They’re appealing their brutal loss yesterday where the judge laid his reasoning out really clearly as to why he shot it down.

Don’t think it has a chance in hell.
