US Supreme Court Dismisses Last of Trump’s Election Appeals Without Comment

Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court dismissed President Trump’s final election challenge appeal on Monday without comment. The appeal challenged thousands of absentee ballots filed in Wisconsin. The Court also threw out another case brought by Attorney Lin Wood who had asked the justices to block the January 5 Senate runoff elections in Georgia. The court never acted on the request, and Democrats won both races.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday disposed of the last of three cases brought to the justices by former President Donald Trump challenging his election loss, bringing a muted end to his futile quest in the courts to hold onto power.

The court without comment rejected Trump’s appeal challenging thousands of absentee ballots filed in Wisconsin, an election battleground that the Republican businessman-turned-politician lost to Democrat Joe Biden by more than 20,000 votes. Biden became president on Jan. 20.

It was the last of three petitions filed at the Supreme Court near the end of Trump’s presidency that the justices declined to take up. The court on Feb. 22 turned away Trump’s other two appeals – a second Wisconsin challenge and one relating to voting in Pennsylvania, another pivotal state Trump lost. Lower courts previously had ruled against Trump in those three cases.

 

It already was clear that the high court, which includes three justices appointed by Trump, had no intention to intervene in the cases and others filed by his allies because it did not act before Congress on Jan. 6 certified Biden’s victory. That formal certification was interrupted when a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.

In the Wisconsin case, Trump sued two days after the state had certified its election results. He challenged several Wisconsin election policies including one allowing the use of drop boxes for absentee ballots during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both a federal judge and the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the claims, noting in part that Trump had waited too long to sue.

No surprises here. The corruption goes to the very top. The only solution left is the military, and I wonder where their loyalties lie?

SC is packed with lez’s cowards, communists, and is totally un-needed.
Their is NOT provision for a SC in our Constitution. So, it IS un-Constitutional.
Abolish it and the FBI that has been corrupt since J. Edgar the cross-dresser.

One of the problems facing this nation is the fact, we do enforce the Oath to the Constitution, To protect this nation from foreign and domestic enemies. Every elected official, cop, soldier, judge, and all federal employees take that Oath. If these people push socialism or the overthrow of this Nation, they are violating that Oath. They should go to jail for treason. Supreme court judge ginsberg never follow that Oath, and that applies to most of the other judges. It also applies to the bureaucracies working in the Deep State.
