(#6431) 54 days until the election...

     Today is turning into a massively important day as to what will happen with mail in voting as the supreme court now has the ball in it's court so to say. The 1st circuit court of appeals yesterday sided with the federal judge and left the preliminary injunction active against the postal service from enacting their rule. With North Carolina and Delaware already sending out mail in ballots the midterm election is literally in the process of voting. In 4 days Pennsylvania will begin it's early voting window as well. with Minnesota and South Carolina following in just 9 days. If there is any chance that the mail in voting rule will survive to become effective it will most likely happen today or this evening.
     If there is no decision after this day has passed then the likelihood it will pass becomes very unlikely. Hence the importance of today. Because the further we go into this election the more difficult it becomes to imagine the high court will abruptly halt things when they could have ruled sooner for the rule. To me the time has already dictated the looming outcome. I suspect the 6 republican justices on the supreme court are not stuck with trying to figure out a logic for agreeing with the trump postal rule. Instead they are trying to figure out how to let trump down softly so as not to anger him toward some retribution he may have in reserve over the 6 republicans on the supreme court.
     So today is critical to the mail in voting decision. I will be paying attention all day to see if anything surprising occurs. If the court does not rule today then I will be nearly certain the trump executive order postal rule will fail. Even if they rule today it could come as just an affirmation of the lower courts rulings. In all logic that should be the only statement made, an affirmation that the rule through the trump executive order is unconstitutional. At every turn trump seeks to usurp constitutionally designated powers given explicitly to congress and make them his own. Even though this supreme court is heavily republican they must know that supporting this out of control wannabe dictator will cost them more than personal outrage, it will shred what is left of their dignity while shit staining them forever!
