    If the Supreme Court got involved it would destroy it. No one with any common sense is helping Trump, those that do also go down with the ship.

      Yeah, we’ve passed the tipping point where fear of prison outweighs the fear of retaliation from Trump and his MAGA idiots.

      Plenty of people with common sense are helping Trump and don’t for a second think otherwise.

      If they help Trump and he wins there is a windfall for the corrupt and power hungry. If trump doesn’t win, nothing happens to them and the system is weakened for the next one.

      They win by playing, a weak rule of law is the end goal.

        This can’t be understated enough. He wants to break the rule of law and have his minions run amok creating chaos so he can come to the rescue and become the next great white hope.

      The thing you’re forgetting is that the Republicans on the supreme Court have NO shame. They’ve been caught red-handed taking the most extraordinary bribes. And they are simply getting away with it, because Republicans in the Senate will not hold them accountable.

      For Republicans, holding on to power is far more important than any sense of integrity or duty or honor or stewardship.

      At this point the Republicans are really and truly all in on fascism. If Republicans on the Supreme Court decide to intercede on Trump’s behalf, they will make up excuses to do it. They did as much with Bush v Gore, and the court has only become more polluted by fascism since then.
