(AP) - The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, ending Trump’s legal challenges in state court about an hour before the Electoral College was to meet to cast the state’s 10 votes for Biden. The ruling came after the court held arguments Saturday, the same day a federal judge dismissed another Trump lawsuit seeking to overturn his loss in the state. Trump appealed that ruling. Trump sought to have more than 221,000 ballots disqualified in Dane and Milwaukee counties, the state’s two most heavily Democratic counties. He wanted to disqualify absentee ballots cast early and in-person, saying there wasn’t a proper written request made for the ballots; absentee ballots cast by people who claimed “indefinitely confined” status; absentee ballots collected by poll workers at Madison parks; and absentee ballots where clerks filled in missing information on ballot envelopes. Liberal Justice Jill Karofsky blasted Trumps’ case during Saturday’s hearing, saying it “smacks of racism” and was “un-American.” Conservative justices voiced some concerns about how certain ballots were cast, while also questioning whether they could or should disqualify votes only in two counties. Biden won Wisconsin by about 20,600 votes, a margin of 0.6% that withstood a Trump-requested recount in Milwaukee and Dane counties, the two with the most Democratic votes. Trump did not challenge any ballots cast in the counties he won. Trump and his allies have suffered dozens of defeats in Wisconsin and across the country in lawsuits that rely on unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud and election abuse. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Texas lawsuit that sought to invalidate Biden’s win by throwing out millions of votes in four battleground states, including Wisconsin. Also Saturday, former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a federal case she lost in Wisconsin seeking to order the GOP-controlled Legislature to declare Trump the winner. Powell has also lost similar cases in Georgia and Arizona. Copyright 2020 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)
Trump losing the presidential election must have been humiliating but these constant streams of court losses including watching his appointed three Supreme Court Justices had him another defeat... Later today the Electoral College casting their votes to confirm Joe Biden as the United States President via a Democratic process... It's now becoming obvious that Trump has another goal, too raise as much money as possible prior to leaving office. Sad Sad Sad Loser. More important news...the United States is about the reach 300,000 Covid-19 deaths. wrbtrader
This country is not safe until the guy is physically escorted from the White House. That's the truth. There's many a slip 'twixt the clip and the lip. NOBODY should feel safe until Jan 20th.
The sad part... After January 20th it will be Trump asking for more protection for him and his adult children. He created a mess and may have put another rope around his own neck via his rhetoric. Regardless of the growing dislike of him...no president should fear for his life after leaving office. wrbtrader
Its not that much SS protection, he will need to spend a lot himself considering that he loses the free speech embargo regarding discussion on the killing of a president. But on ex-presidents. He will get a turn on the wheel with crazies propelled in his direction via stochastic terrorism soon enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_the_President_of_the_United_States#Frequency
Yes but not the way he had it when he was the President. The best thing for him may be to lose the pending criminal and civil cases against in him in which he goes to jail prior to reaching trial. Then again, Jeffrey Epstein thought the same thing too as in using jail as a layer of protection. Then again, a war time dictator like Hitler...we all know how that ended too. Simply, maybe its time to put Donald Trump on a suicide watch ??? wrbtrader
Godwin's Law invoked. Trump is far and away nothing like Hitler. I think yer conflating your not liking a narcissist (Trump) with a full-fledged psychopath (Hitler).
I know enough about the military, war and dictators to know their commonality and their followers... I wrote an in-depth post about the similarities that Trump shares with them. Simply, if Trump was in Germany and was their chancellor...the ending would be the same as Hitler. Nothing about both being just psychotic jerks and my dislike of jerks in general. In contrast, if Trump was in England as King George...he'll do the same and spend his remaining years humiliated / defeated and ranting like a mad man / psychotic after losing the American Revolutionary War. Oh wait...Trump has been ranting like a mad man since losing the U.S. Elections...reason for my comment about placing him on suicide watch. wrbtrader
