He may be right, but I think he's ignoring basic facts. He cites the Supreme Court rulings in which Trump lost. The most important one of these, and one of the most blatant ones, was the Trump administration's attempt to put a citizenship question on the census. "The Supreme Court smacked them down," emphatically says Glenn Kirtschner. There's just one problem: The vote was 5-4. That's why it's so important for Trump to get his new (in)justice in, which it's almost certain he will do. Even if he fails, there is no guarantee that Roberts will vote against Trump in this all-important issue. Don't forget, Roberts had been one of the lawyers who argued for Bush in the 2000 stolen election. But even if Roberts doesn't vote for Trump, and there remains only 8 (in)justices, what then? It would be a tie vote. Then what happens? Seems to me if there is no resolution through the court it would go to the House of Representatives. There, the majority of state delegations have Republican majorities, and since each state gets one vote, that means that unless the election changes that, they will vote for Trump.
The Democrats' hope is that enough of their supporters vote to overwhelm the cheating, fraud and voter suppression of Trump & Co. They see Trump & Co's. threats as simply a means of trying to discourage people from voting so they are countering by denying the reality of the threat and urging people to vote, vote, vote. They are mistaken (once again) on all counts. And anybody who thinks that the Supreme Court (in)justices will automatically vote on the legalities and the Constitution is either not paying attention or is trying to mislead people.
