I'm an attorney, and I think SCOTUS has been despicable. But they have drawn a line with Trump. That's why they rejected his election challenges. That's why they countermanded his deportation order and required a hearing. And why they ordered spending cuts restored. They will not end elections.

I have faith in judges in lower courts more than SCOTUS and that is terribly sad to me. I think SCOTUS is more influenced by rich Republican benefactors. Maybe it’s the rich Republican benefactors that I have no faith in. I appreciate your analysis and maybe I can breathe a little easier.

Well, your faith is justified by the fact that lower court judges, especially district courts, have performed far better than SCOTUS. All I’m suggesting is that, despite their partisanship, canceling midterms is too much even for Roberts and company.
