The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the last of former President Donald Trumpโs election challenges.
The court turned away the case in which Trump questioned Wisconsin election procedures in an unsigned order.
Itโs over, but by SCOTUS ignoring all of these cases, they are condoning the last minute election rule changes, even those that appear unconstitutional. Basically, anything goes.
When the court pushed off consideration of all election litigation until after Bidenโs inauguration, it signaled that it would not seriously consider Trumpโs after-the-fact efforts to investigate election integrity, seen by many as an attempt to overturn the election without justification.
However, Justice Clarence Thomas scolded his colleagues in a dissent he wrote for another case suggesting that the court should hear these cases to help protect the country from future issues regarding elections.
Thomas wrote, โThese cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority non-legislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable.โ
Reporter Zoe Tillman tweeted Monday, โSCOTUS this a.m. continued to officially close the loop and reject Trump et al.โs post-election legal challenges, denying cert in Trumpโs Wisconsin case and Lin Woodโs Georgia case.โ
