You do understand that judges appointed by Trump and other Republicans ruled against him again and again and again? Is that a Democratic conspiracy?
SCOTUS has a long history of refusing to hear particularly weak cases. Is it their fault that Trump hired incompetent lawyers?
Trump did not appoint judges on the basis of their potential loyalty to him nor should he have done. He did not install his cronies on the Supreme Court bench unlike plenty of other presidents would. The judiciary are a very well established branch of government that has no time for rebels or anti-establishment sentiment. Trump was never in favour with the judiciary. Furthermore, the Supreme Court never stated the Texas case had no merit but no standing, i.e Trump did not have enough legal stake in the Texas claim for it to be heard, it was down to more procedural issues as far as I can tell.
However, the Supreme Court were very stupid not to hear the case. They were incredibly stupid not to give Trump his day in court, in a SCOTUS showdown with a judgement from the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court has merely fanned the flames of a fire that will burn for a very, very long time.
Oh, please. That’s exactly why he appointed Amy Coney Barrett.
And the Texas case was a bad joke. It was widely seen as Paxton’s application for a Presidential pardon. Competent lawyers would not have bothered to file it. Competent lawyers factor in standing before filing suit.
Yup, that's why she really helped him out in the Texas case.
I suppose competent lawyers would have just dismissed all the evidence cited above, especially if they were democrat lawyers.
