(#5424) 61 days until the election...still crickets from the supreme court

      A flurry of action is surrounding the mail in voting obstruction executive order trump is trying to implement yet the only decision yet from the supreme court was late last month when it decided to lift an injunction keeping the postal rule in limbo because the injunction was deemed too early. That issue of being early is now resolved and the injunction stopping the postal rule is back in place with the supreme court not rushing to take the case as of yet. An emergency appeal by trump to the supreme court to lift the latest injunction was delivered yesterday and no quick response yet from the supreme court. This being critical since mail in ballots are being sent overseas by North Carolina today.
     In my understanding of the supreme court, if it was anxious to allow the postal service rule through the trump executive order to usurp state rights to administer their elections guaranteed by the constitution they would have immediately lifted the latest injunction prohibiting the postal service from advancing the directive of the executive order. For me, this backdoor attempt by trump to destabilize our elections is now actually in the window of our elections and therefore highly problematic. Not only is the new postal service rule nothing more than a rule with little to no architecture to support it but it is untested and naturally prone to a trial and error stage where bugs in the as of yet phantom system need working out.
     Which is to say that the timing of this attempt by trump to reorganize our voting along with it being a constitutional violation leads me to somewhat consider the supreme court may not even want to hear this case as it is as we average folks like to describe as a hot mess! Letting the adjudication of it stay under the wise handling of it by the federal judge in Massachusetts as the best option. I may certainly be wrong about my conclusion here but so much is happening all at once with less than a clear picture of it at this time. If the supreme court does not act hastily and allows the process to proceed then the postal rule may become moot. not only by constitutional violation but as well its force into action to happen after the election has officially already begun!
