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.

SCOTUS is worse than the Broward Crowards who hid during the Parkland school shooting.

They are trying to provoke MAGA by telling them they are "down to their last box"

They're trying to prove maga is too weak to stand up for America. Provocation means they overplayed their hand

Would also explain all the razor wire in DC now. This is all becoming very clear.

This is actually retarded. Please shut the fuck up until you grow some more brain cells. I can’t stand when people try to make this statement. It makes zero fucking sense. They’re trying to provoke you? That’s the goal? So if you react and defend yourself and your country you’re “playing into their hands”??? So you’re just supposed to sit back and watch them shit all over you? See how fucking stupid that sounds?

So does that mean "don't do anything because optics," or "don't do anything or they'll use it as an excuse to do the horrible things that they're already doing without any excuse?"

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.

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.

To be fair, Lincoln did a number on Federalism as well. Not saying the circumstances didn't merit his actions, but the central government took a big step forward during the civil war.

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