Let's say Biden wins by millions of votes and handily gets the Electoral College. Then TSF files a bogus lawsuit that reaches the Supreme Court.
What stops the court from pulling another Bush V Gore?
To be honest, I don't see how they're stopped from doing that at this point.

They handed him criminal immunity from trying to abuse that power. His actions can still be struck down by the courts or overridden by Congress.

(12,069 posts)Even if Biden wins, the court might overturn it. With this court, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
If that happens, democracy over.

(28,462 posts)But what power does scotus have to enforce such a ruling ?
They depend on the executive branch to enforce any ruling
so
Biden wins electoral and popular vote but scotus tries to grant the office to the loser
Biden is already president and doesnt enforce scotus ruling , remains in office for another term
Case solved
✌🏻

(35,085 posts)So my question again is... why are we entertaining these wild decisions from a rogue and corrupt court? They need to be ignored. We can safely ignore them in the DC case and in blue states. At least 2 took part in the coup or were sympathetic. The other two were illegally (or at least unethically) placed on the court.
