The Supreme Court gave Trump the “last blow”: the demand for collective defection of the magistrates was dismissedFly to the homes of common people
Trump’s electoral lawsuit eventually made it to the Supreme Court without accident, yet the Supreme Court simply rejected the Trump camp’s demands.
The United States Supreme Court recently ruled that it would not accept Texas’ lawsuits aimed at overturning Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania and other states. Previously, the Supreme Court was widely regarded as Trump’s “last hope” because six of the nine Supreme Court justices were nominated by the Republican Party, and three of them were nominated by Trump himself. However, the ruling showed that “our own people” have turned their backs on it, and it is very likely that they have completed the “last blow” against Trump.

“Treason” of the Supreme Court
In Liberty Square in Washington, a few blocks from the White House, some 2,000 Trump supporters gathered for a march on the 12th. They wore red hats with slogans like “Make America Great Again” and “Trump 2020,” they shouted “Stop Stealing. “and other slogans, they accused election fraud and refused to admit defeat for Trump.
After some 200 members of the far-right organization “Pride Boys” joined, all the activity turned violent. In combat uniforms and bulletproof vests, members of these far-right organizations continued to chant “America” and “work another four years”, sparking conflict between Trump supporters and opponents. Some people were shot in the conflict.
Although Washington has issued a mandatory administrative order to wear masks, the majority of Trump supporters who participated in the rally did not wear masks and even laughed at anti-epidemic measures such as wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.
Trump supporters are so “eager” for the Supreme Court ruling. The previous day, the US Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit by Trump supporters seeking to overturn election results in several key states.
The lawsuit was initiated by the Texas Attorney General and supported by Trump himself, Republican attorneys general from 17 states, and 106 Republican congressmen. They believe that the “widespread” “unconstitutional” violations of the general elections have called into question the results of the general elections and the integrity of the US electoral system, so they asked the Supreme Court to revoke the results of the four states from Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
However, the Supreme Court ruling was simple and straightforward, arguing that Texas was not legally qualified to initiate this lawsuit, and there was no other explanation and no specific voting results were announced.
In this regard, Trump scolded on Twitter: “The Supreme Court is disappointing, without wisdom and without courage.”
Trump’s wrath
Trump’s anger is understandable, because it means that his departure from the White House is almost a certainty.
To return, Trump’s legal team has formulated a “three-step” plan: first, through legal proceedings or by encouraging the opposition, to block the final certification process of the voting results in as many key states as possible; second, if election officials determine the results, the legal team filed a lawsuit in state courts, requesting a recount; finally, if the state court doesn’t endorse it, then the Supreme Court.
Given that three Supreme Court justices died during Trump’s tenure, Trump seized the opportunity to appoint three justices in just four years, and the positions of all three were conservative. Currently, conservatives among justices have an absolute advantage of 6 to 3. Trump once believed that the Supreme Court would rule in his favor at a critical moment to help him “fight back.”
But the bottom line showed that even in the conservative-dominated Supreme Court, justices are reluctant to see the farce of American politics continue. Besides the Supreme Court and the Democrats, even some Republicans are happy too. The New York Times believes this is the final blow to Trump’s month-long legal challenge, which is quite symbolic.
However, there are still people who refuse to fail. Texas Republican Party Chairman West said while berating the Supreme Court: “Perhaps the law-abiding states should come together to form a state coalition that abides by the Constitution.” This kind of argument that slightly smells of independence has caused a stir in the Republican Party. After all, even if the authority of the Supreme Court is questioned, American politics may be completely ruined.
However, Trump continues to send information about rallies and demonstrations by supporters across the country, and on the 12th he issued a provocative tweet: “We just started fighting.” And also on this day, the cumulative death toll of the new crown in the United States is approaching 300,000, which has surpassed the death toll in the United States in World War II.
