It's not a Trump or Harris or Republican or Democrat or any other political thing. It's an Eighth Amendment thing. www.google.com
Would have been nice if he had been identified. He's former Tarrant County Judge Glenn Whitley (2007-2022). That's an executive position not a judicial one.

One of the hazards of mucking around with the ministerial duty to certify election results. electionlawblog.org
All that's needed is a VP who'll try to throw it to the HoR ...
Not as informed as I thought. The ECRA eliminated that potential legal strategy. VP duties are "solely ministerial." www.ncsl.org Then there's the partisan political aspect.

Pildes rains on Katyal's parade.
A recent essay Neal Katyal authored in the New York Times is a good illustration of these anxieties. Katyal raised several nightmare scenarios for "a potential election crisis" under which, in his view, corrupt partisan actors could seek to deprive Vice President Kamala Harris of a lawful victory, if in fact she wins the election. But in each of the scenarios Katyal raises, the guardrails that are already in place should temper these concerns.www.lawfaremedia.org

The Commission and Space Force/DOD have been back and forthing about more SpaceX launches since Spring of 2023. Apparently, a conditioned compromise was worked out last Summer but DOD wouldn't agree to the condition at a Commission hearing. During the hearing, a couple commissioners voiced their opinion about Musk's politics, core political speech. The Commission majority voted against the compromise plan, I think one of the opinionator's voted for. It's expected this ain't the end of the story. www.latimes.com

I saw Robin Trower on 10/8/76 at Stadthalle, Offenbach/Frankfurt, Germany (with Thin Lizzy), though I don't remember Thin Lizzy. concerts.fandom.com The venue was small much like a basketball gym. We had floor seat about 20 feet in front of stage left. eventseeker.com This is the album released in '76 and likely the tour I saw. www.google.com
I'm sure of the venue and its feel because I saw Crosby, Still & Nash in the same venue on 9/19/76. www.setlist.fm Our seats were literally the pull out bleacher seating seen in school gyms. BTW David Crosby is an a*****e.
