Before inauguration: "You have no standing" After inauguration: "This already happened so we're not going to look at it".

If I ever have to show up in court for a speeding ticket, I’ll use the same defense: “your honor, I am no longer speeding, so this case is moot.”

That has legal precedent.

I dont know, but if something the size of stealing the election in the worlds most powerful nation can be "moot", ....

From the article:

"Our nation is becoming ungovernable, because there is no reason for a thinking person to have any respect for our institutions like the FBI, The Justice Department, or our courts on any level."

If the Supreme Court does not uphold the Law, then the Law is MOOT!!!

"Your honor, I already reached my destination so how I got there doesn't matter."

Just tell the Judge you have no standing in his courtroom.

But standing doesn't have to do with when the case was filed, does it? Trying to learn here.

Correct. Standing is legitimacy to raise the case. so, to rephrase my comment-

Before inauguration: "You have no right to raise this case, because it doesnt affect you"

After inauguration: "This already happened so we're not going to look at it".

The argument that it's too late to hear the case when the week before you said it was too early is spurious at best. Thomas nailed it when he said the actions of the court on this only furthers the mistrust of the election system by the citizens.

It's clear they cared more for their reputation and appearing "impartial" but really they only appear that way to a minority of voters now. To every one else it makes them seem cowardly or partisan.

Hummm... I always wondered what the Staute of Limitations was for Steeling the office of The POTUS. Is is much shorter time period that one would expect.

Lawyers can’t be trusted whether sharks in congress or sharks in SCOTUS! Black robes make lawyers WORSE not better!

Roe v Wade set a precedent for "moot" cases where the issue was one of timeliness and something that could be expected to pass before the court could rule on it. These cases should still be heard.

Trump should be calling for an amendment abolishing the Supreme Court as being useless for abandoning their sacred duties. It wouldn't happen, but it would shame both the court and the current people in office, as well as drain public support for them.

FDR destroyed the Supreme Court and Checks and balances a long time ago.

Thank you - the no standing argument was peak bullshit. As if Texas isn't impacted by who is president?

Standing = someone who is directly impacted. So an individual is hit by a bus and lives, he has standing, or if he dies; his family. Moot=It’s irrelevant Latches= Literally lazy or too late. As in you waited when you should have sued.

Back too the man hit by the bus, most states have a specified time in which a case has to be brought. 10 years in some cases, so you wait until 15 years and sue, the judge will say latches outside of some extreme circumstances. For instance, minors who have been harmed as a youth have the ability too sue past a timeline.

With these cases they set a precedent- basically fuck off we don’t care, whatever a state court says goes. Basically setup theft for life.

Did Roberts schedule these hearings after the 'inauguration" so that they could use it as an excuse to deny We The People a hearing? How calculated it that.

I have read excuses for Roberts' actions, saying he hates President Trump, but his actions speak of something worse. He can hate President Trump all he wants, but any reasonable person would think he, above all people, would love the Constitution more.

So here it is: Roberts hates the very idea of America and We The People more, he hates the Constitution and the rule of law. He should have been ripped out of there back when he approved Obamacare.

All that is left now is curiosity, how did he there, who were his mentors in his early life, who recommended him for high office?

-And Justice Scalia's message in a bottle about Citizen Grand Juries:

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ruled in the landmark case of United States v. Williams, 112 S. Ct. 1735, 504 U.S. 36, 118 L. Ed. 2d 352 (1992), https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/504/36

I see it as a provocation by the swamp. They are telling Trump supporters that they are down to their last box, so the Swamp can cry about "muh insurrection" as they introduce the final facets of tyranny.

Before election: "Too early, no harm done."

Right after election, binders full of evidence of harm done: "No evidence (shown in a court room, because we won't let it be shown in a court room). Therefore, no standing."

A bit after election: "You waited too long (laches)"

After "Not-Trump" sworn in: "Well we guess the point is moot now."
