I suspect, as many of you do I'm sure, that after the '20 election debacle, justices were met by men in black suits.
I can't say with certainty what I would do if some stranger showed up and showed me a picture of my child and said "We know where little Jimmy goes to school. Now there was no election interference, right? RIGHT?"
But if that had happened, I can say with absolute certainty how I would rule on this case.
Plus war is fluid. Things can't possible happen exactly as planned to the date, to the moment. Battles change, the war remains the same. Progress is being made. As humans, we're understandably impatient. But it took a long time for us to fuck this up. What a horrific web to untangle. Trust and patience.
