Pennsylvania GOP ask Supreme Court for rehearing on Democrats cheat by mail-in ballot scam

 Epoch Times:

Pennsylvania Republicans have filed a second emergency request with the U.S. Supreme Court in the hope of undoing a state Supreme Court ruling that forces Pennsylvania election officials to accept mail-in ballots received up to three days after Election Day.

Pennsylvania is among the most hotly contested states for the Nov. 3 presidential election. President Donald Trump won the state in 2016 by 44,292 votes out of more than 6 million cast. He secured 48.2 percent of the popular vote in the state, beating Democrat Hillary Clinton, who won 47.5 percent, according to Ballotpedia.

Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win the presidency.

The Supreme Court currently has eight members instead of the usual nine due to the Sept. 18 death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12–0 on Oct. 22 to send the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to the Senate floor. Every Republican member of the committee voted to support the nomination; Democratic members boycotted the vote. Trump and Senate Republican leaders have said they want Barrett confirmed before Nov. 3, a goal that is now within reach.

Along those lines, the Senate voted 51–48 on Oct. 25 on a procedural motion to move the nomination forward; a final confirmation vote is scheduled for Oct. 26.

On Oct. 19, the nation’s highest court denied on a 4–4 vote a Republican request to stay the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling requiring state election officials to count mail-in ballots received up to three days after Nov. 3. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh indicated they would have approved the emergency application. Chief John Roberts voted with the three liberal justices—Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor—to refuse the stay.

If Barrett joins the Supreme Court in time to consider the new case, Pennsylvania Republicans hope she would vote to block the state Supreme Court ruling, which they say is legally incorrect.

...

By extending the deadline for counting mail-in ballots it gives a state with a history of vote fraud the opportunity to know how many votes they have to create or harvest to change the outcome.  Roberts siding with the Democrats is inexplicable.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
