A Distinctly Minority Opinion

“We’ve not gotten any court to judge this (the vote) on its merit.” @DanPatrick of Texas. It is a legal disgrace, an embarrassment to the USA!!!

I had a Ken Paxton joke, but I beg your pardon because the Supreme Court wouldn't let me file it.

What else ya got?

No, the justices did not *hide behind procedure*. Seven ruled on threshold issue of lack of standing and therefore had no cause to further. Had they done so, they would surely have denied relief, just as Alito and Thomas did. https://t.co/Vl9XQvAiP3

In countless lawsuits, the Trump campaign and its allies have failed to convince a single judge of any election-altering fraud/mistakes.

It’s long past time for everyone to recognize that Joe Biden won the election.

SO SAY WE ALL!

Giuliani says he's going to keep up the fight. It’s time for the courts to stop him.

But the fact that 18 attorneys general and 126 members of Congress, all Republicans, could line up behind this outrageous Texas case is horrible and bodes ill for the country for years to come.

Enough with the hand-wringing. My favorite description of American democracy comes from Jules Verne. He describes a (fictional) riot in a small Midwestern town that, it turns out, is an election campaign. For dog catcher. American politics has always been a blood sport; but here we are. Throw away the rose-colored glasses, accept the hard fought victory. There are always people fighting to tear this thing down; that’s why we always have to fight to preserve it. We won again; rejoice in that.
