Just wondering how far you think Alito/Barrett/Thomas/Kav/Gor will go for their master post-elx?

[NewsCenter28]

On a scale of 1/10, with 1 being invalidating ballots with ‘discrepant’ signatures and 10 being mandating Toad become President through ordering Speaker Pelosi to hold a contingent election in the house?

I vote that they don’t even agree to hear a single national post-election case!

1. I'd say 7-8...

I originally thought either Gorsuch or Kavanaugh would join Roberts and balk at going all the way toward SCOTUS Coup, but their votes last week make it clear they have no such compunctions.

Right now, I think they’ll do everything they can to keep 45 in power, maybe short of ordering the clear, original words of the Constitution be set aside. Maybe.

2. Assholes

These guys are full-on fascist assholes who will stop at nothing

[dem4decades]

3. I thought Gorsuch might once but not anymore. The Robert's Court will go down in history.

If there's history written anymore.

4. They want to ensure 45 becomes 46 so

their super majority is not endangered by Biden. Self interest above country is what I expect from them.

Lord I hope the vote is a shellackin’

[SheltieLover]

6. They are repukes

So party over country always!

5. If it's a clear win for Biden, I don't think Roberts will touch it.

He's concerned about the legacy of "his" court and he's not about to throw that away for Trump. It doesn't matter how the court leans if they don't take the cases.

7. Roberts doesn't have veto power over whether they take a case...

[TwilightZone]

9. He has influence.

They're also not going to take frivolous cases. Anything Trump does in light of a decisive win would be frivolous.

[Bettie]

8. I fear that they will simply appoint him president

regardless of how much he loses by...they will cite Bush v. Gore and state that it would be harmful to him to not be president and give it to him.

I guess that's a 10.

I don't trust them. At. All.

And we know that's why Handmaid Amy is being put on the court.

[TwilightZone]

10. That doesn't make any sense.

Bush v Gore was about counting in Florida. It had a basis, if a flawed one. They aren't just going to anoint him president.

[Bettie]

12. His lawyers will argue that he will be irreparably harmed by losing the election

they are not judges anymore, they are Republican functionaries put in place to protect that orange man and his minions.

I don't believe the Supreme Court in its current form is anything but a rubber stamp for whatever orange hitler wants.

[TwilightZone]

13. Sorry, but that's ridiculous.

No one is going to believe he should be anointed for the good of the country.

Pipe dreams should be left to Trump.

[Bettie]

14. I hope you are right

frankly, my DH and I have had many discussions in the last four years.

I say "this will happen" he says "No, that would NEVER happen". Then weeks or months later, it happens.

But, Barrett was put on the court to be his backstop and I believe she'll do whatever she's told and I have no reason to believe that Alito, Thomas, Kavenaugh, or Gorsuch have any ethics or care for the rule of law.

[Buckeyeblue]

11. My guess is that after the election they won't do much

I think they were willing to weigh in before. But after seems to late. If they start allow large amounts of votes to be "uncounted" or eliminated, I think they will undermine their legitimacy.

Also, the fact that so many Republicans seem to be moving away from Trump gives them cover.

I think lots of Republicans in Washington want the Trumps out. They are like termites.
