It seems like no0body except the judges have stood up to the Trump sponsored efforts to delegitimise the Joe Biden 2020 election win….
Included are judges that one might think politically would be sympathetic to Trump….
So far?
The American political system IS working…..
Amen…
On January 6, rioters streamed past the federal courthouse in Washington, DC, and descended upon the US Capitol. For weeks after the attack, DC’s chief judge said she could see National Guard troops from the window in her chambers.
And in the year since the deadly riot, as divisive politics rage and the public becomes more divided about just what happened as Congress was trying to certify Joe Biden’s election victory, judges have taken to the bench to remind the country how crucial it is for American democracythat the attack on the Capitol never be repeated.
Some judges are calling out former President Donald Trump — although mostly not by name — for rallying his most ardent supporters to action and suggest that he and his prominent allies bear responsibility for what happened that day. Trump has continued to stoke anger and promote the lie that the 2020 election was stolen since he left office, and many judges have expressed continuing concern that his supporters could be called to act again.
More than 700 people are facing charges stemming from the January 6 insurrection, and the almost two dozen judges handling their cases have repeatedly slammed the rioters for misrepresenting what America is supposed to stand for and tarnishing the country’s reputation around the world. And when their actions threaten America’s standing, judges have warned defendants, they will pay the price….

I disagree that the political system is working.
It’s the Judicial system is working.
There is a major difference.
I have commented previously that most Judges ,whatever their political persuasion ,usually try to uphold the laws .That has been my experience anyway.I know of judges who have upheld laws that I know they actually disagree with personally.

The judicial system certainly has worked better than the political system. But the Roberts court granted Republicans the ability to gerrymander and make it more difficult for minorities to vote.
And Kavenaugh repeatedly lied in his Supreme Court hearings and what can be done about that?

Ok
Say what u want
Joe Biden HAS BEEN ELECTED thru the political system even in RED states
It WORKED
The judge’s made sure it did NOT bend to Trump and his cronies wishes
The proof is the reality of Biden and even Georgia’s TWO Democratic Senators…

Not surprising I might add.
jamesb says
Sure I DO…..
The United STATES of America held election last November…
There WAS winner and LOSERS….
Donald J. Trump LOST by Millions of votes and over 50 Electoral votes….
Joe Biden IS the President of the United States of America…
Democrats HAVE a slim majority on Congress…
AGAIN
Trump and his minions have NOT overturned ONE FUCKING Election and the election officials far and wide DID their jobs and the judges made sure their actions stuck….
As much as the ‘hair on fire’ shit has been shopped around?
The American political and judicial systems HAVE supported the last election and its results….

Amusingly the post is about Judges saving Bidens election by refusing to go along with the POLITICAL machinations of Trump and the Republican Party.
Yeah the political system is in great shape!
