“The 2020 Election Is Over.”

Somebody needs to tell Trump.

This is pretty much how Trump’s attempts to relitigate the 2020 election in Fulton County will be handled in court:*

Here, Petitioners face none of the future uncertainty necessary to maintain their declaratory judgment actions," said the order. "The 2020 election is over. The due process and equal rights violations supposedly visited upon Petitioners by Respondents' allegedly flawed execution of election processes have already accrued. A declaratory judgment is never a remedy for a past wrong. There is nothing for this Court to declare that would enable Petitioners to make better, more informed decisions about future actions. Because Petitioners do not present any actual or justiciable controversies in their various demands and prayers for declaratory relief, those claims must be dismissed."

Now Trump can declare the 700 boxes seized prove he won Fulton County, the same way he claims there’s nothing about him in the latest Epstein files dump. But that won’t prove anything. And he did go to court to get them. That doesn’t obligate him to return to court; but it does raise questions about why he doesn’t return to court to prove his case.

The answer to that is obvious. Then again, everything about this pathetic stunt is obvious. I’m old enough to remember when ICE was going to terrorize American streets and rally support for Trump’s immigration policy. It was, after all, where he had his strongest support. And he has an uncanny ability to rally the masses behind him.

Doesn’t he?

*The case is that of a conspiracy theorist out to prove Trump won Fulton County. The evidence he wanted to find had already be refuted by an audit. He had nothing new to present and, as the court ruled, it wouldn’t matter anyway. Any claims Trump makes will similarly be subject to the evidence of the audits; and his failure to present evidence for his claims. Besides: “The 2020 election is over.”
