Not trying to be a doomer but do you guys really think the SCOTUS will be allowed to take this up? Much less rule in our favor?
That would mean removing 380 members of the federal government. That is most of the elected government.
My belief is that they should take the complaint and vote 9-0 in favor thus removing those members but recent history tells me that they will vote 3-6 to not take it up to even hear the complaint.
I am just trying to be real. Not shitting on it. The case is 100% legit and should be considered and ruled on. I think things are too far gone for that though.
It's been pointed out here (sorry I forget by whom) that it's a catch-22, because if they don't take it up THEY are failing to do their prime job, which is enforcing the Constitution - at which point the military would really be the only way.
The SC has already had MULTIPLE opportunities to quietly shut down this case before it ever got to this point. In fact, this is exactly what all the "expert" lawyers have been predicting every time this case is mentioned (Tracy Beanz is a good example).
The lawyers have been unanimous in their predictions that the SC would never touch this case. That it was a nothing burger. They have been proven wrong through every step of the process so far.
The SC has in fact gone out of their way to help bring the case forward. Let that REALLY sink in for a minute...
Why would the SC actively encourage the Brunson brothers to file the case (with modifications requested by the SC), only to then have it fail the conference vote on Jan. 6th? Does that make any sense to anyone?
Unless the whole thing is just a political move by the SC to warn the Congress not to try to impose term limits or pack the court. Who knows? We will see soon enough, starting with what the lame duck Congress does this month...
"modifications" - didn't the SC also reject one of the election ones (IIRC the big TX/several other states one) with instructions on how to resubmit, and that never actually happened? I swear I remember this....

A lot of people are not able to think logically.
