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.

Why should she recuse herself? Is there a time limit on when and what a new justice can vote on?

Nope. But I’m sure Dems think she will rule against them. Dems, for some reason, think they own SCOTUS so that’s why they hate that Trump got to select SCOTUS justices during his term. BTW, I was being facetious about the time limit. She could rule any way she decides as soon as she officially joins SCOTUS. Just Dems think she should wait a “respectable” amount of time.

The loonies know Thomas don't give a fuck.

PLUS, of they really tried to get h to recuse because of Biden, they'd have to ADMIT Biden was a racist asshole to Clarence Thomas during his confirmation.

This is how it's gonna go down: 6-3 for Texas and any other state that joins. Of course the 3 dissenters will be Breyer, Kagan and the wise latina Sotomayor.

What happens next, I don't know.

But I do know how this ends

SPOILER ALERT

Trump wins!

Dude, if RGB can be dead for 3 years while her pickled brain sat in her chair and her clerks wrote everything for her, I think the Justices can handle some #ChynaVirus

We're talking about Constitutionalists here; they aren't gonna back down. You think Kavanaugh will back down because of a cold? Clarence Thomas?? Heck no
