126 House Republicans Ignored the Will of the People To Join Trump's Failed Election Lawsuit
Last night, the Supreme Court rejected a bid from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to sue Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin and invalidate their election results in a brazen attempt to steal the election for President Donald Trump. The case, which had already been dismissed by courts across the country, was dealt a death blow by the Supreme Court, effectively ending Trumps fight to disenfranchise millions of votes.
Its hardly a surprise, given that there was zero evidence of any sort of voter fraud or election interference. Also, Trumps case was pleaded by a clown car of lawyers and witnesses with laughable credibility and a penchant for spreading COVID-19.

Still, despite the lack of any real evidence, despite the conspiracy theories, and despite the indisputable math that Biden bested Trump but 7 million votes, 126 House Republicans joined an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit. Thats more than half of the republicans currently holding office in the House of Representatives who willfully tried to overthrow a democratic election.
And for what? To suck up to a hateful president who will be out of office in 39 days? To please Trumps diehard base of supporters in the hopes of winning their future votes? Or is it just to stick it to democrats and Biden, to fuel the toxic narrative that his win was anything but legitimate?

(2,986 posts)I agree it makes little sense and one would think they'd be working to fix that, not triple down on Dumb and Dumber, but they can't seem to face the agony of thought it will take to pick up the pieces and make something new and worthwhile. And while Biden Harris prevail, the Democratic side needs to do some of the same hard thought and policy work as 2020 should have been an across the board win for us and we eked out the Presidency but didn't maintain our higher House majority from 2018, nor regain the Senate nor do well down ticket locally. We all got some serious reflection, analysis and creative thinking to do.
