Can we NOT pretend this is a "game of chicken" between the Supreme Court and Trump. They want what he wants, to make certain the Democrats do NOT win the midterms under any circumstances. I completely expect them to say fine, whatever, in an "emergency order" with no underlying reasoning so that if/when the Democrats do elect a President they can immediately go back and say, "well this President can't do it because our reasoning on this case is totally different from under Trump and NO we WON'T tell you our reasoning in either. Too bad, so sad."
As Prof Hasen and many other constitutional lawyers have pointed out, the "harm and equity" argument supporting the district-court injunctions so grossly favor the states — and more so as Election Day grows
closer — that Scotus would be hard-pressed indeed to issue a stay, allowing the USPS FUBAR to stagger ahead.
But — always the "but" — one cannot say with any resolute assurance the Court far-right majority won't do a solid for trump, "Purcell" be damned.
At the risk of going all out obvious, just a heads up that whatever shit Donny pulls or tries to pull leading up to Election Day, what follows will be 2020 on crack. Correction: Crystal meth, not crack.
Continuing with what should be obvious: Experts like Haden fail in the first instance by opining as if Trump has any significant respect for the law. I’d peg Trump as having insignificantly more respect than the Russia Mafia godfather of your choice.
Hope I’m wrong but I won’t put my money on being wrong…
