(#6427) 58 days until the election...

      Still no action with the supreme court on the appeals by trump directly to them. This is an emergency situation in the nefarious eyes of trump so the not responding immediately like the lapdogs they have shown to be in the past is revealing in itself. As each day clicks off the calendar toward the actual traditional voting day on November 3rd the more difficult it is to see how trump can prevail in his quest to pettily deny voters he doesn't want to vote. He knows he is going to lose straight up this midterm election because all he has done is anger most of us but surely he had planned on his voter suppression act passing Congress and this insane attempt to regulate who can actually vote through the postal service he controls.
     With his obvious unconstitutional postal rule looking to be circling the drain, his plans to rig the election are going away. My sense on this was that this was a bridge too far the 6 majority republicans on the supreme court less the corruptible thomas and alito. The no involvement from the high court signifies to me that they don't want to touch this cancerous proposition from trump outside the normal flow of process. They will likely wait until the 1st circuit court of appeals has their verdict of affirmation with the district court judge published, then will be when they are forced to accept the appeal or ignore it. Personally I want them to ignore it but I would like them to publish a simple sentence of the judgement of the appellate court, that they are in affirmation!
     We are officially in the window of this midterm election so any foundational changes would be inconceivable. This 6 republican majority court knows that even if they wanted to give trump the power over our elections the timing of his attempt is too close to the election. It would break with previous excuses not to change anything while an event is in its process. Believe me I know that when this republican majority court wants something they will not restrain themselves on the stare decisis precedence nor even a timeliness issue. But them not immediately responding to trump's direct appeal to them from yesterday tells a story all in itself that even they want nothing to do with this abomination!
