#1 This was a problem throughout Trump's presidency. He could not find good, conservative people to appoint. People like, Barr, Bolton, Haley, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett took the jobs and then stabbed him in the back.

#3 “would not have any implications regarding the 2020 election,” it would “provide invaluable guidance for future elections.”

The issues were sufficient to give guidance for future elections but there were no implications for the 2020 election? That doesn't make sense.

Scotus wanted to get rid of this 2020 hot potato--they did not want to touch this.

#6 Scotus wanted to get rid of this 2020 hot potato--they did not want to touch this. To my ignorant view, this is grounds for impeachment of several SC justices.

#8 Seems like the next GOP candidate will have so surround themselves with hardcore zealot Libertarians so that we know they'll defend individual liberties and sane spending over other pet issues and pressures.

#11 SCOTUS has determined, correctly, that The Republic is dead. So, in their minds - what's the point?

Unfortunately such action would be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

SWOTUS works.

Supreme Weasel(s) sounds like a KKK designation.

#17 Justice Thomas in his own words - very powerful!

One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us. I respectfully dissent.”

By the way, CUck Roberts of course went along with the dismissal without writing a thing.

#18 Now worries we will get them at the ballot box..... oh wait. Can’t wait to see all the new rules on leftist run states: mail in ballots without validation and 10 days late, non citizen votes count,,,,, and remember that the Supreme Court said thumbs up!

Michael Moore himself said in 2016 before November election that Trump would win because the only relief citizens have against Washington is voting. And America was sending the biggest FU message to Washington DC elitists. Well the elites have spoken in 2020/2021: voting does not matter”.
