The court's 5-3 ruling means that absentee ballots will be counted only if they are in the hands of municipal clerks by the time polls close on Nov. 3.

The justices determined the courts shouldn't be the ones to decide the election rules amid the coronavirus pandemic that is surging in Wisconsin and across the world.

"The Constitution provides that state legislatures — not federal judges, not state judges, not state governors, not other state officials — bear primary responsibility for setting election rules," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a concurring opinion.

Hopefully it won't matter. I think ACB being in on Bush v. Gore is significant beyond just being on "our side." She saw the vote stealing attempted by Gore during that fiasco and now is at the center of a hurricane of fraud. Prayers for wisdom and constitutionality for her and the others.

Here there’s 3 factors to consider:

Is the law on our side? Yes—-state legislatures are supposed to Make election law.

Was the illegal law changes enough to effect the election result?

Should give total relief by overturning results?

We need 5 Justices to say yes to all three.

Then we need a 4th thing to go our way—-will overturning t he results still result in a Trump win?

Takes a special kind of stupid to knowingly side with the losers when treason is on the table.

Roberts: "I am the moderate one. That means if it's a close call, I have to side with the leftists. But if it's a slam dunk, I can side with the right.""
