1. The Deep State has turned Alito.

[exboyfil]

2. He is probably chewing Rolaids tonight

Wishing this spectacle was over.

[yardwork]

36. Probably not. He's appointed for life. They can't touch him.

[Walleye]

3. Did we make it into the safe harbor?

[Harker]

24. Nearly.

The wind is dying down.

The waves are diminishing.

The sun will illuminate a better world each day until safe harbor is gained.

[LizBeth]

4. As it should have been, so good to see.

[MillenialDemLXXXIII]

7. IT IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!-YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-OMG!!

Nothing can stop Joe Biden from being inaugurated on January 20, 2021 now! The nail has finally be put in the would-be dictator tyrant's coffin and not a minute too soon!

[aggiesal]

23. That's just PA. No doubt Pendejo45 will also try with ...

NV, AZ, GA, WI, MI, Blah, Blah, Blah

With sooooo much winning, I'm worried that he'll win in these states.

Do I need the sarcasm thingee?

OK, here it is

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Yup - heard 4 other states.

62. Whoop. So it's down to the last sniveling sychophants, eh? nt

[luvtheGWN]

45. Two important things:

1. No evidence

2. Precedent

I cannot imagine the Supreme Court (no matter their individual political persuasion) could ever go along with this nonsense. It would stain their legacy forever -- and if I know lawyers and judges (and I do) legacy is top of their minds.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

61. True. I am not worried in the least. I am just hoping it

makes him look like a sore loser to more than 51%. And that the majority of sane people grows.

Any political advisor in the world would have told him that if he wants to run again that he has to act now with dignity to the institutions and to be a gracious loser. Oops too late.

51. Some loons here in PA filed a new suit in Commonwealth court yesterday

[Thekaspervote]

5. Even if..and that's a big if he had wanted to go forward with the case the rest of the court

Conservative as they are would never have gone along

[PoliticAverse]

6. It means "the application for injunctive relief" "is denied"... that is...

no court order (injunction) stopping certification will be issued.

[euphorb]

8. This is not Alito's sole action.

Alito referred it to the full court, which then denied the petition. We can't tell from this what Alito's position was or would have been.

[Cha]

9. HaHA Fuckers! Whatcha got now.. stupid

seditious fucks.

[herding cats]

14. They got nothin' now.

Patrick's asinine case has no place to go but the Supreme Court, and this just killed any hopes of their taking it up.

[Cha]

21. & Today is Safe Harbor Day.. suppose

to be by 5pm!

Rubbing Trump's Face in His Loss Isn't Just Fun--It's Important

Snip~

So Tuesday is the day. December 8 is the “safe harbor” deadline by which all the states must resolve all election-related disputes. Then the electors vote next Monday, but that should be anti-climatic, because over the weekend, Biden was certified the winner in California, which gave him 279 electoral votes, and it doesn’t look right now as if electors are going to be replaced anywhere; the crazy-ass Republicans of Pennsylvania are up to something, but it looks like it’s mainly for show. So as of 5 p.m. Tuesday, it’ll basically be over.

That's what I said in one of my posts on the SC turning this Down.. "Now Texas!"

[ffr]

25. Excellent summation, Cha!

Thank you. That explains everything neatly.

[Cha]

26. I thought so too.. I really

like Michael Tomasky's writing!

:Hi:

[herding cats]

10. There were no public dissents.

This signals Supreme Court has zero interest in picking up any of these cases.

[Blue Owl]

11. Suck it Donny you fat piece of shit

[NightWatcher]

12. Make room for that lib Alito under the bus...

[sheshe2]

13. Et Tu, Alito?

The GOP must be havin' a sad.

[colorado_ufo]

27. As I read it, it was given to him, and he referred it to the full Court,

who in turn basically said, "Fuggetaboutit."

[sheshe2]

29. That works for me!

~happy dance

[honest.abe]

15. Of course but it is relief to see it in print!

[cmeneer]

16. Why was this Alito's

I must not understand. Why did Alito dismiss? Why was it him to decide?

[elleng]

18. Each justice has his/her own 'domain,' for housekeeping reasons.

[cmeneer]

19. Thanks!

Didn’t know that.

[elleng]

28. Trying to find list of which justices gets which states;

fingers crossed!

[yardwork]

37. It doesn't matter. The entire Court has spoken.

They are not going to take up these cases. These cases are laughably weak. Trump's got nothing.

[elleng]

39. Right, but for info, it's by CIRCUIT:

[yardwork]

41. I understand. What I'm saying is that none of them will be successful.

[elleng]

17. Alito is the Justice 'in charge of' PA;

Each justice has his/her own 'domain,' for housekeeping reasons.

[cmeneer]

20. Learned something new!

Thanks.

[elleng]

40. More, it's by CIRCUIT:

[marble falls]

30. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

[VA_Jill]

31. Even Alito

Who'd a thunk it?

[gratuitous]

32. There must be 50 ways to lose your lawsuit

Just take it to court, Mort.

[WheelWalker]

48. Get it denied, Clyde. Get it dismissed, Chris.

[gratuitous]

49. Scream about fraud, Claude

[WheelWalker]

50. Only need to plead a sham scam, Pam.

[3catwoman3]

53. Oh, you guys are toooooooo...

...good.

I’ll be humming this all evening.

[BadgerMom]

52. File a suit, Newt.

We can play this game.

[gratuitous]

54. File new claims, James

[Marie Marie]

56. File a repeal, Neil

[demtenjeep]

60. and forget about thee

suck it
orange ass face

[gratuitous]

63. Issue some warrants, Lawrence

[StarfishSaver]

33. Alito didn't dismiss the case

The Court refused to take it up.

It is interesting that no justice expressed dissent.

[Midnight Writer]

34. If Alito won't eat it, nobody will.

[yardwork]

38. Probably why they tried PA first.

[AllaN01Bear]

42. great news . no evidince no hearing.

[mountain grammy]

43. womp womp

[zentrum]

46. Does this mean Barrett

…..will get Texas? Little spooky that Texas mounted a case today.

[yonder]

47. Wait, what? Alito?

Cue tRump outrage that the USSC is "commie, phony, fraudulent, etc." and whatever else mangoman can come up with.

Eat it, poutboy.

[onecaliberal]

55. Cue the Alito is a liberal meme...

[Ford_Prefect]

57. What it means is that they upheld the finding of the lower court. There was no reason to dispute it.

QED.

[BobTheSubgenius]

58. Wow. The Legal Dream Team is going to have to break this string of losses.

They're going to have to go pretty hard to get their record to even .500

[Jon King]

59. There is no hope for the Republican party...

Its over and it has to be destroyed. The Georgia Lt. Gov. is on CNN and Trump has called him every name in the book and he is getting threats. Yet he goes on and on about thanking Trump for 4 great years, how he voted for him, how he wants to raise his 3 sons not to respond to name calling. They are all so scared of Trump and his most insane followers.

The entire Republican party is a cult with zero redeeming value. We must educate kids in the Dem way, make every republican a freak, and destroy that party. There is zero value in having 2 parties when one of them is so far gone.
