Trump vs. Supreme Court

 Epoch Times:

President Donald Trump said that the U.S. Supreme Court failed to address massive election fraud properly.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has been totally incompetent and weak on the massive Election Fraud that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election,” he wrote in a Twitter post on Saturday morning.

“We have absolute PROOF, but they don’t want to see it—No ‘standing’, they say. If we have corrupt elections, we have no country!” he added.

The Supreme Court didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times.

Recently, several moves made by America’s highest court frustrated the president and his allies.

The Supreme Court—with five conservative justices and three of them appointed by Trump—rejected Texas’s bid to challenge the 2020 election results in four battleground states.

In a Dec. 11 order, the justices denied Texas’s request to sue Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, opining that the Lone Star State lacked legal standing—or capability—to sue under the Constitution because it has not shown a valid interest to intervene in how other states handle their elections.

“Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections,” the order (pdf) read. “All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.”

The case has been regarded by the Trump campaign and some Republicans as a case with big potential.

“The Supreme Court really let us down. No Wisdom, No Courage!” Trump took on Twitter on Dec. 12 to express his frustration over the decision.

In another election-related case, the court set a deadline two days after the presidential inauguration day showing apparently no interest to take meaningful action about the alleged election fraud.

The Trump campaign filed the suit on Dec. 21 challenging three Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings that “illegally changed” the mail-in ballot laws “immediately before and after the 2020 presidential election.” Trump’s legal team argued that those court decisions were issued in violation of Article II of the Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Bush v. Gore, that settled a recount dispute from Florida in 2000.

Along with the petition for a writ of certiorari, the legal team filed a request to the court to expedite the case requesting the nation’s top court to order Pennsylvania officials to respond by noon on Dec. 23.

However, the Supreme Court docketed the case on Dec. 23 without immediately acting on the request to expedite the case. Instead, the docket shows a Jan. 22 deadline for Pennsylvania to respond to the petition, two days after Inauguration Day.

The Trump campaign has over the past seven weeks provided evidence alleging voting irregularities and fraud including effective Republican poll watching blocked by election officials, votes being cast in the names of deceased persons, and election-related rules being changed bypassing the state legislatures.

Due to the courts mostly failing to address alleged election fraud, the president urged Americans to “stop the theft of the presidential election” in a video message to the nation on Dec. 22.
...

The court has failed to respond to the substance of the allegations against the illegal handling of the election by several states.  What it looks like to many Trump supporters is that the Chief Justice is looking for an excuse to do nothing to stop the fraud.  It looks like a case of moral cowardice by the court.

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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
