In another round of late-night social media posts, Donald Trump attacked the Supreme Court for not overturning his loss in the 2020 presidential election — and tried to pressure the court to rule his way in future election cases.

Flurries of angry social media posts are not unusual for Trump, but this one was particularly alarming for its scope and the criticism it directed against the nation’s highest court, where six out of nine justices are conservatives and three are Trump appointees.

    There was a good bit of complaining (for whatever that was worth) and W’s approval rating was in the shitter just like trump’s. Along came 9/11 which was definitely just an intelligence failure even though it was the best possible thing that could have happened for Bush.

    One of the many forgotten things about November 2000 was that the Supreme Court – before its final ruling awarding the Presidency to Bush – issued an injunction stopping the recount in Florida on the grounds that it would call into question the legitimacy of Bush’s win.
