Now Donald Trump wants the decisive battle

The president joins the Texas lawsuit against four swing states and is now talking about the “Big One.”

So far, Donald Trump has tried to reverse the lost election by sending armies of lawyers to multiple courts in the hope that one of the judges will rule in his favor. However, this guerrilla tactic has failed. Except in one petty legal case, Trump’s attorneys were unsuccessful and were even thrown out of courtrooms in disgrace and shame.

That is why Trump now wants to force luck on his side. Now he talks about the “Big One”, a decisive battle in which the Supreme Court is supposed to rule in his favor. What do you mean by that?

The president joined a Texas lawsuit. In this lawsuit, federal judges are asked to overturn the results of the Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan elections.

Voters must be determined by the parliaments of the respective states or ignored entirely. If the Supreme Court obeyed this demand, Trump could be re-elected, even though he received about seven million fewer votes than Joe Biden.

Trump is confident of winning this decisive battle. 22 states have joined the Texas lawsuit. More than 100 Republican deputies have also signed it, and Senator Ted Cruz agreed to represent the lawsuit in Supreme Court. Cruz studied law at Harvard and is considered a brilliant polemicist.

Trump has appointed three of the nine chief justices. This is one of the reasons the president believes in success. I could be wrong. And these are the reasons:

• The lawsuit was filed by Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General. It doesn’t have the best reputation. The FBI has been investigating him for insider trading for years. Last October, seven of his staff also charged Paxton with bribery and abuse of power.
• The lawsuit itself is no less seedy. Texas may not even have the right to file such a lawsuit. “It is as if, for example, Massachusetts tells the voters of Texas how to choose their senators,” explains law professor Edward Foley in the New York Times.
• Obviously, some points of the complaint are meaningless. The four swing states are accused of having used the crisis in the crown as a pretext to introduce voting by mail and thus allow widespread electoral fraud. Too bad that two of these states, Michigan and Wisconsin, have known postal voting for a long time.
• The suit also alleges that Pennsylvania must have been a voter fraud because the odds of Biden winning that election were one in a quadrillion (a number with 15 zeros). This claim is based on statistics from an unknown economist and can be described as “strange” at best. “It’s like saying that two equals three, which is unlikely,” explains math teacher Stephen Preston.

Surprisingly, the lawsuit implicitly dismisses the allegation of voter fraud, possibly because it has not yet been possible to present evidence of this in any case. Instead, it is now said that the electoral fraud was “undetectable” because the authorities in charge had concealed it with great skill. Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Law School, summarizes the lawsuit in the Washington Post as follows:

Therefore, Trump is likely to lose his decisive battle. So next Monday the voters will definitely elect Joe Biden as president. Will it end the disgusting spectacle of Trump and his salivators? Unfortunately not.

On January 6, Congress has not yet confirmed this election. Trump could spit Biden in the soup one last time. If a member of both houses objects to the voters’ verdict, both the House of Representatives and the Senate must vote again on who will occupy the Oval Office for the next four years.

If that happens, Trump will lose these votes as well. Democrats have a majority in the House of Representatives and several Republican senators have already indicated that they would not take part in this maneuver.

So why all this? “With this, the Republicans create a question of faith, that is, that Biden is not a legitimate president,” comments the Washington Post.
