Yet, the Supremes are ignoring that law. And have blocked subpoenas from being executed. They are slow walking the whole thing for Trump.

They pick and choose what laws they will support or even rule on depending on what their master wants.

It's not about impartial judges of the law. It's about the whims of one fat man.

That has nothing to do with whether a state can require it for ballot access jberryhill Mar 2020 #23

It has a lot to do with how the Supremes rule. Farmer-Rick Mar 2020 #27
