Trump asks Supreme Court to set aside Wisconsin's election

MADISON - President Donald Trump on Tuesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse Wisconsin's high court, set aside the state's presidential election and allow Republicans who control the Legislature to decide how to cast the state's 10 electoral votes.

It's the latest in a string of dozens of challenges by the Republican president and his allies to overturn the Nov. 3 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his supporters have failed to make headway in the courts.

"This Court is likely the only institution of our government capable of credibly resolving the controversy over this election," Trump's legal team told the Supreme Court in its filing.

Trump's lawyers asked the nation's highest court to put the case on a fast track so it can be decided before Congress counts electoral votes on Jan. 6.

1. "credibly resolving"

Oh, they're going to credibly resolve it. That's pretty much for certain, and it's not going to be in his favor.

I wonder how much Trump's lawyers have made off of the 60+ lawsuits. Seems like just another way to fork out cash to his cronies.

45. The court will resolve the way a bartender does,

when a drunk, shown the door, is back demanding another drink.

2. "This Court is likely the only institution of our government capable of credibly resolving the cont

Does that mean if the Court rejects it you will go away this time?

[SergeStorms]

36. It hasn't dissuaded them...

from coming back again and again with even more ludicrous entreaties to the Court system. I imagine they'll still be trying on January 21, 2021. What's that old saying? Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Stupid is as stupid does.

3. It's becoming more and more obvious he will need to go immediately to a mental facility on 1/20/2020.

He is going to crack. He's so damn frantic, each day he unravels more and more.

[Stuart G]

52. It isn't that ..."He is going to crack"."He already has cracked, & the "crack" is expanding quickly"

You are totally correct..."...each day he unravels more and more."
Also, it is plain to see for everybody and anybody...

[Arne]

4. Some one here said he should go to the Food Court.

Who was that?

[elleng]

6. Dunno but I like it!!!!

[NCjack]

11. SCOTUS: You can't take short cuts. Go back to

Traffic Court and if necessary Tennis Court.

[Marie Marie]

14. Melania built a Tennis Court at the WH specifically for this occasion.

[Stallion]

19. He Should Appeal to This Supreme Court

[Under The Radar]

5. I wish that SCOTUS would televise their opinion in the most humiliating...

.... fashion. There must be some credible authority that stops this insanity.

[elleng]

7. Likely to be a one-liner,

nothing to televise.

[moriah]

10. Which will bruise his ego even worse. Attention is his drug. n/t

[maddogesq]

57. As a bonus to this live event...

I want to see the chief bitch slap the orange dumbass.

Oh well, one can dream.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. And he'd still be a loser.

[RicROC]

9. one word response from SCOTUS

NO

[elleng]

12. DECLINED!

[RicROC]

13. yes, DECLINED is the one word.

[RicROC]

51. although I would have a hearty laugh...

if the one word SCOTUS would use is .....LOSER!

[rickford66]

21. Nuts !

[Dem2theMax]

22. I see what you did there!

Little pieces of World War II trivia float around in my brain.

(What little there is left of it, after living through four years of insanity.)

When is he going to go away?

[onetexan]

48. nyet. zip. zilch. nada.

[Talitha]

15. Go to Hell, Donnie.

Go directly to Hell.

Do not pass Go.

Do not collect $200.

[lordsummerisle]

16. I was wondering if these sorts of lawsuits

will continue to be filed even after Biden is sworn in?

[Retrograde]

18. If it keeps him in the headlines, yes

especially if the money keeps rolling in

[42bambi]

20. Bingo!

[bucolic_frolic]

17. So why doesn't everybody run with their political bucket list and sue the Court for them?

Trump's shown how you just invent things and the Court will listen. Why not you and me?

[George II]

23. Thanks trump! I haven't laughed in weeks.

[Bayard]

24. Controversy?

The only controversy is what's left of your pea brain fighting with reality.

[thenelm1]

25. Psst! Psst! Donnie, ten EC votes ain't changing the outcome no matter what you say.

Grab yourself by the cojones and get over yourself already. You're a loser, and you've eff'ed up everything you've touched in the last four years (and for your whole miserable life, truth be told). There is no way in this eff'ing earth that you deserve anything but scorn. Maybe we can bring back that joke of a TV show of yours and someone can tell you, the "boss", "You're fired" on national TV. Would that maybe convince you? Probably not, but it would make for a great spectacle and public humiliation. There's no one more deserving.

[COLGATE4]

26. No but the Supremes granting his wish (they won't)

would let him claim that his "landslide victory" over Hillary with 306 EV was better than Joe's 296 EV. It's all about his fragile little ego.

[thenelm1]

31. Well, when you put it that way - you're likely spot on. n/t

[PatrickforO]

27. I wonder if the words 'no standing' mean anything to him. nt

[flibbitygiblets]

28. He'd be better off appealing to Courtyard by Marriott

[Moostache]

34. Well, I hear his legal team DID stay at a Holiday Inn Express...so there's that (n/t)

[progree]

29. The Supremacist Court /nt

[world wide wally]

30. How did something so ludicrous even get a hearing in the SC?

[rpannier]

37. I think what happened is they have asked for a hearing

The SC hasn't decided to hear it (or not hear it)
Sounds like they just filed it

[hlthe2b]

47. None of them have (7 now)... All this means is the paperwork has been received.

[DallasNE]

32. On What Grounds Would SCOTUS Set Aside The Election

There must be a federal issue at stake before they can even hear the case. "Controversy" is not grounds nor is a whine.

[rpannier]

38. The trump people have lots of hearsay and conjecture

[RobinA]

58. Grounds? What Are Grounds?

Trump continues to think that the Supreme Court is his personal court. I think it's the word "supreme" that has him confused, to him that court has his name on it. At his developmental age, "it's not fair" is a legal argument, so he thinks that his court has to pay attention to him if his reps run in there waving papers and shouting, "...so unfair." He hasn't learned this is four years, so he probbaly won't in the next month.

[SCantiGOP]

59. The evidence is very clear

Item One: He is the most popular and best President in history.
Item Two: Therefore, he couldn’t have lost.
Item Three: Any questions, see Item One.

[AllaN01Bear]

33. give it up man. YOU LOST , DONT YOU GET IT ? move on.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

35. Too bad SCOTUS can't declare him mentally unfit to hold office for one more day. nt

[riversedge]

39. "Wisconsin's slate of electors has already cast its votes for Biden. It took that vote about an hour

...............Wisconsin's slate of electors has already cast its votes for Biden. It took that vote about an hour after the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued its ruling. ........

[Midnight Writer]

40. You'd think he'd win one out of pity by now. He's like the kid going MOMMYMOMMYMOMMY over and over.

[pfitz59]

41. The only "controversy" about this election

is the one Trump created as a fund-raising scam. So long as the dupes write their checks Trump will file.

46. This makes 7 cert requests, yet the campaign has not even asked re: the previous six status

All for show and grifting $$$

Steve Vladeck
@steve_vladeck
This makes *seven* pending cert. petitions in election-related cases in which #SCOTUS has been asked to expedite consideration.

That it hasn’t even requested a response to any of the first six tells you how this one is going to go, too.

49. When do these suits become nuisances?

Don, your dad is long dead. Stop trying to please him. YOU LOST.

Stop asking for do-overs like a spoiled 5-year-old losing at Chutes And Ladders.

This is where this all is coming from — Trump’s massive insecurity/inferiority complex, moreso than any fear of being clapped in prison once he does leave.

The man needs urgent psychiatric help.

[Ingersollman]

50. I

would love to see WeeHands McNodick in Judge Judy's courtroom. She would ream him out, good.

[marble falls]

53. I see a 0-3 run unbroken.

[bluestarone]

56. His lawyers are just trying to keep him THINKING

He could do something until Jan. 20th.
