The Great Cornholio 903 Posted December 10, 2020 12 hours ago, CoffinLodger said: Bombshell news tonight that Joe Bidens son is under investigation for possible tax fraud. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55254182 Hunter Bidens alleged dodgy dealings was one of the main issues in the election campaign.Could it persuade the electoral college to change the result next monday when they meet? Donald Trump must be very happy tonight ! I think Trump is probably happier that Texas is holding the swing states accountable for election fraud in Supreme Court with the help of 18 other states. If Trump is going to legally challenge the election then this would probably be the easiest path for him - assuming he puts together a good case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,755 Posted December 10, 2020 28 minutes ago, Kenny McCormick said: assuming he puts together a good case. He doesn't have ANY case, just a shipping container full of dummies labelled 'pram ammo'. Quote Texas also is asking the supreme court to delay the 14 December deadline for electoral college votes to be cast. Paul Smith, a professor at Georgetown University’s law school, said Texas did not have a legitimate basis to bring the suit. “There is no possible way that the state of Texas has standing to complain about how other states counted the votes and how they are about to cast their electoral votes,” Smith said. Trump’s campaign and his allies have pursued unsuccessful lawsuits in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and other states, making unfounded claims of widespread election fraud. Judges appointed under Democratic and Republican administrations, including Trump’s, have ruled against the president’s campaign, often in excoriating tones. Trump lost those four states after winning them in 2016. The supreme court is not obligated to hear the case and has said in previous decisions that its “original jurisdiction” that allows litigation between states to be filed directly with the nine justices should be invoked sparingly.

If Trump is going to legally challenge the election then this would probably be the easiest path for him - assuming he puts together a good case. As the legal expert quoted by the Guardian in @En Passant's post above, if the Republicans are such martyrs to the federalist model of government, how on Earth can Texas challenge how Georgia or Michigan conducts their elections? Or is it just about staying in power? Surely not... Regarding Trump's chances of success, yesterday the Supreme Court didn't even bother to issue an opinion on his bid to stop the Pennsylvania results being certified. It was just denied in a one line ruling, so good luck with that.

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted December 10, 2020 So does anyone think there's a chance the supreme court could change the result of the election? CHris Cuomo thought there was a real chance of it on his CNN show last night, and he used to be a lawyer . He seemed very worked up about it in fact. Will Judge Amy Barnett come up trumps for Trump??

Supreme Court Judges only have a life term. If there was the prospect of conservative justices overturning the vote we could expect one or two unforeseen vacancies on the bench...

This is all a money grab, simple as that. The Trump sheeple have kicked in well over $200MM to his coffers since the election. That's all this is. Have to keep the con going. What I especially love are the 106 House Republicans who are backing the Texas challenge in the Supreme Court, even though those same 106 idiots got elected on the very same ballots that they now want thrown out, apparently. Their hypocrisy is breathtaking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was confirmed the winner by the electoral college yesterday- 14.12.20 14+12+20= 46. Biden is the 46th President.Also on the day of the election on Nov 3 he was exactly the same age , to the day,a s Ronald Reagan was the day he left office .Reagan was the 40th president.Biden is sworn in 40 years to the day after Reagan was.
