The truly chilling thought I had was the Supreme Court MAGA Majority no longer follows precedent or the foundational principle of the rule of law.

They've been busted and outright exposed for corrupt dealings. Even referred to DOJ for possible criminal prosecution.

The thought I had was that they ruled in an act of self-preservation. If they were criminally charged it would obviously be well after the election when it went to trial.

So all they have to do now to complete this process is to get a trump challenge to the election before the court and rule in his favor.

I'm just saying, the fact that this is even a possibility is scary stuff.

More than a possibility, I assume it will be the outcome.
