WASHINGTON (AP) — Third-party presidential candidate Cornel West on Thursday lost a Supreme Court bid to be included on the presidential ballot in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Justice Samuel Alito refused his emergency appeal in a brief order. Alito handles appeals originating in Pennsylvania.

West, a liberal academic currently serving as professor of philosophy and Christian practice at Union Theological Seminary in New York, would likely draw far more votes away from Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris than from former Republican President Donald Trump. West’s lawyers in the case have deep Republican ties.

The refusal comes after a rejection by U.S. District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan, who expressed sympathy for West’s claim earlier this month but found it was too late to reprint ballots and retest election machines without increasing the risk of error.

That's all you need to know.

1. For once Alito made himself useful.

2. Go away now, West. You have no legacy. Your reputation is forever marred & you have nothing worth saying.

6. "Bobby" isn't on the ballot

He asked to be removed back in August and was. But Stein is on there.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won’t appear on the ballot in Pennsylvania this November

7. I refuse to see Cornel West as a liberal.

He's one of the most illiberal people I have ever seen. He is angry, grievance driven, and pedantic. He seems to have no empathy or common sense. He festers in a world of hate.

I am tired of Stein and RFK and West and their on again/off again ballot shenanigans. They are crisis actors and they are a distraction. None of them is being a meaningful or productive member of society, despite the bully pulpit they have been given. They are doing Putin's work, either knowingly or unknowingly.

Enough!

8. Stein Is Deliberately Trying To Screw The Country...

She has said she wants to cause Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent to win, by siphoning off votes from Harris. It’s also been reported that her family tried to talk her out of running, for fear of her being a spoiler.

This sedition shit stain is one of Putin’s “useful idiots.” And she doesn’t care.

Wonder how much $$ the Russians have funneled to Stein.

11. Good. This jerk will ride off into the sunset

and we’re finally done with him.

12. Fuck that guy and his "NATO made Putin invade Ukraine" bullshit.

Brother West doesn't want to make the world better. He just wants the world to know his name better.

He should STFU and pay his taxes and child support.
