The first signs of the impact of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s absence may come in a flurry of election-related disputes expected to reach the Supreme Court on an emergency basis in the coming weeks.
President Donald Trump signaled Saturday night that he expects federal judges to play a key role in achieving a definitive result within hours of the polls closing on Election Day. But for months now, lawyers connected with the two parties have waged a running legal duel over everything from vote-by-mail expansion to ballot collection rules to postal service cutbacks, all carrying the potential of major implications for election outcomes.
At the request of the losing side, any or all of these cases could wind up at the Supreme Court for resolution. Even if Democratic efforts to get courts to force broader voting access don’t get much traction at the high court, there is still the question of more unusual legal efforts Republicans and the Trump campaign itself are mounting this year to challenge vote-by-mail provisions, as well as ballot-collection boxes and new steps to lift bans on organizations and individuals collecting absentee ballots.
Any immediate shift isn’t expected to be dramatic, but in a closely contested election, every ruling has the potential to be pivotal.
And that’s what democrats plan, and hope on. It’s gonna be a reck and Democrats will be calling 911 again! Hell, they’re still saying Trump collusion was real, that’s how ignorant and sick they are.
Pray for the 200,000 dead (don’t panic) pray for the 10 million out of work. Pray for the 20Million people about to loose their health insurance Make America Sane Again November 3rd
Help me understand how it works. Don’t they have to be fair and neutral regardless of their political believes? The headline makes it as if they will corruptly siding with republican just because they’re from the same party?
..but it will kill repub election chances. Trump’s court will eliminate the ACA. Keeping hltcre & coverage for preexisting is key. Nearly 7M infected w/covid now have a preexisting condition. Trump has no plan &promotes covid spread. Covid is Trumps prob. Judges won’t fix it.
Help get rid of the branch! Boot them out! $19,000,000 and counting! On you!
So saddened and heartbroken by Justice Ginsburg’s death. It is like one our pillars of our country has fallen. We need to fill her vacancy with another justice like her.
Sifill_LDF A Bum's Rush to put someone on the highest court in the land seems like a very bad way to run a country.
No, you nonsensical 'score' keeping see-no-split-decision stenographers. The so-called 'liberal' bench been on the back foot for a couple decades. ROBERTS plays the 'swing' vote, when the dissents fly fast and furious.
Better fill that seat now then..
