In short, when the Colorado and Minnesota cases arrive in Washington, the Supreme Court will confront a desperate race against time. If it fails to decide the cases rapidly, it will provoke a constitutional crisis once the polls close and each state decides who won the election. Under current law, state legislatures must report their Electoral College winners in time for Vice President Kamala Harris to report the results to a joint session of Congress meeting on Jan. 6, 2025. Once she inspects the ballots, she is likely to find that none of the three candidatesāneither Biden, nor Trump, nor Trumpās proxyāhas won a majority of the electoral votes. At this point, Harris will confront a dilemma that will make Vice President Mike Penceās predicament in 2021 seem modest by comparison.
Isnāt that essentially letting him get away with it? With everything?
I didnāt say I like it. But the US government is a system of laws; and those laws say the SCROTUS has the final authority on constitutional matters.
We can either ignore those laws (and become the enemy, really) or overthrow the government.
Can you help me parse that? I donāt quite understand what you are saying.
The US Supreme Court is enshrined by laws as the heights judicial court in the country.
Eventually the matter of trumpās elegibility is going to wind up before it. Your choice at that point is to either accept its authority- even if theyāre corrupt assholes who have no business having power; or over throwing the lawful government.
Republicans would simply ignore the court (as they have in the past- in this context theyāre the enemy weād become.).
Note, Iām not advocating an insurrection, either (and become more like them.) but I do see the US as walking a dark pathā¦ and Iām scared and impotent.
So regardless, one side will end up in a no-win situation forced to reject the will of the Supreme Court (through this lens).
Yeah I donāt know how theyāll rule. Iām also not 100% that it will get there. Its wildly uncertain times. But thanks for adding more words. I wasnāt quite getting your point before.
