The U.S. Supreme Court has just rejected an emergency application by a Trump loyalist to overturn the election results by enjoining the state from certifying its presidential electors. No Supreme Court justice dissented from rejecting the case, at least not publicly.
“The top court rejected a petition from Trump ally Rep. Mike Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican, who argued that virtually all of the state’s mail-in ballots were unlawful,” CNBC reports.
“This is as strong a message as the Court could *possibly* send that it’s not stepping into the election — and that all of this nonsense is over,” University of Texas Law law professor Steve Vladeck noted.
UC Irvine professor of law and political science Rick Hasen, who is also a CNN Election Law Analyst, said the case had “the Dumbest SCOTUS Argument I’ve Ever Seen.”
