Justice Alito hints SCOTUS purposely slow-walked the election integrity measure involving the USPS purposely.

FTA:

The decision — which effectively bars the policy from taking effect for the fall elections — was presumably 7-2, with Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas saying they would have granted the government’s request for relief. Aside from Justice Brett Kavanaugh — who said the USPS rule seems lawful but denied the government’s request because it’s too close to the midterms for election officials to implement it — the majority offered little explanation for its decision.

Alito, on the other hand, penned a lengthy dissent (joined by Thomas) outlining several issues with the court’s holding. It was in this opinion that the Bush 43 appointee seemingly telegraphed some potentially nefarious shenanigans by the court’s Democrat appointees in the case.

The apparent hint came in the dissent’s concluding pages, in which Alito refuted the alleged concerns that the Democrat-led states challenging the Postal Service rule had regarding "the practical effects of implementing the rule close to the midterm elections.” While taking "that problem very seriously,” the justice highlighted two key points demonstrating why it isn’t enough to warrant rejecting the government’s request to implement the rule for the 2026 contests.

On one hand, the senior justice noted how not even all the challenging states agree "about the nature of these effects.” "Twelve States supported the rule below and asserted that compliance at this time is practicable,” he wrote.

The other and more significant point raised by Alito, however, is that the plaintiff states and federal courts — including SCOTUS — "bear a substantial share of the blame for the rule’s timing.”

The justice chronicled the timeline of how the challenging states immediately sued the administration after Trump signed the contested order in late March, and how such litigation "cast a cloud over the Government’s ability to issue a final rule.” He further observed how Obama-appointed District Judge Indira Talwani strung this lawfare along by "enter[ing] several injunctions months later prohibiting the Government from undertaking that rulemaking.

We are DEAD when Alito or Thomas retire or pass away. Not a single Trump appointed Justice is worth a thing.

We are equally dead if the Democrats steal this next election; if they win Trump will be a powerless lame-duck and the people who can take his mantle and run with it - Vance, Rubio, etc. will never get their chance as the GOP Establishment will reassert authority over the part and we'll always run RINO candidates "because they are electable" and America will continue it's long, horrible slide.

SCOTUS had a real chance to end the corruption that has been twisting America into an obscene shape for decades now but cowardice led them to fail to act out of fear of being spoken ill of, and they may well have just cost America her future.

They will have to answer to God for this ruling.

The problem is guys like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and Conehead Barrett all come from inside the beltway; they are insiders and always have been, always trying to get their own snouts in the trough. They think like insiders. They do not understand the serious peril this country finds itself in and think this is something that can be corrected down the line. The are more interested in pleasing the media than in doing what is right.

So the Democrats will probably steal at least ten House seats - more like 25, and maybe five or six Senate seats. And then the fun starts as they bring back the impeachments, the investigations, cut off funding for important things like Iran, etc.

Years ago, when Trump first took office, Rush Limbaugh warned that the Ruling Class - both parties - had to destroy Trump. Not just that they wanted to, they had to, because they could not let anyone ever try that again. The message had to be crystal clear; buck them and you will be destroyed. The Supreme Court has just sided with the Ruling Class.

I fear America is doomed. This was our last chance to fix the country and it's about to flame out due to dirty tricksterism and corrupt judges.
