President Trump on Friday quickly sought to sue the Supreme Court over whether he would lose re-election, saying the Democratic nominee who wins Biden's White House would be a "radical leftist." We will pack the High Court with the judges.
Following Trump's tweets, there were a handful of
Supreme Court decisions on adding deadlines for the ballot in 2020
election.
The Supreme Court this week handed Democrats two
victories in a legal dispute over the election, allowing the deadline to extend
in two major swing states, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
"If the sleepy Joe Biden is actually elected
president, the 4 justices (plus 1) who helped make such a ridiculous victory
possible will be forced to sit on not only a heavier court, but perhaps even a
reactionary court." Trump tweeted early Friday morning. Morning "At
least a lot of new judges will be just radicals!"
Trump also claimed in an earlier tweet that Biden
would "destroy" the Supreme Court and warned: "Don't let that
happen!
Biden has raised questions about whether he will
support court-packing, or increase the number of judges on the Supreme Court.
The former vice president said in a "60
Minutes" interview last week that he would call for a bilateral commission
to make recommendations for reforming the judiciary, calling it
"instability-free".
If Sleepy Joe Biden is actually elected President, the 4 Justices (plus1) that helped make such a ridiculous win possible would be relegated to sitting on not only a heavily PACKED COURT, but probably a REVOLVING COURT as well. At least the many new Justices will be Radical Left!

As election day approaches, Trump has permanently
overtaken Biden in the national polls. Biden has also made strides on key
battlefield states.
The president has long remarked against attempts
to increase voting in the mail during the Coronavirus epidemic, claiming that
doing so would lead to widespread fraud. Experts say there is no evidence of
significant electoral fraud in mail-in voting.
Republicans won in Minnesota on Thursday when a
federal appeals court ruled that the state should set aside if the late ballot
was rejected’ illegally.
Earlier this week, the president made it clear
that he hoped the courts would rule in favor of the Republicans and stop
efforts to extend the deadline to get mail ballots ahead of election day. The
poll shows Democrats are more likely to do better in absentia voting, while
Republicans are more likely to vote in person.
"Hopefully, the rest of the states that
would like to spend more time counting ballots after November 3 will not be
allowed to do so by various courts," Trump said Wednesday, citing
decisions in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Minnesota. Told reporters before.
.
Pennsylvania and North Carolina decisions will
allow ballots that are not postmarked after election day and those that arrive
three and nine days after election day, respectively, to be counted. In a
separate ruling, which represented Republicans winning, the Supreme Court set a
Nov. 3 deadline in Wisconsin to collect mail ballots.
