This better get shot down or else you'll know the judiciary is in on it.

If states can't sue to block Trump's clearly unconstitutional attempts to influence how states run their elections because nobody has cause for harm yet, this absurd waste of the court's time should fall for the same reason.

We had what, 60 frivolous lawsuits last time?

I expect double that this time.

Let the Hunger Games begin.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

If not then preemptively block!

I expect Trump knows he'll be impeached if he loses both houses of congress so he is about to subvert this election in a very Putin sort of way, he'll be damned if Thiel's boy toy takes the reins from him.

Only if some Senate Republicans come along. They need 60 to convict in the Senate.

Is the brain dead orange child rapist going to have his stump-toothed, shit-smearing cop killers riot again after Sullivan loses?

Actually, they need 67 votes in the Senate to convict.

You're right; I was wrong.

The strict language is 2/3rds of the Senators present.

Like a loser at one of Trump's failed casinos, if the wheel doesn't land on your color, threaten to sue the casino and demand a do-over.
