SCOTUS Head Fakes

Do not be surprised that SCOTUS denied certiorari for what would have been perceived as pro-conservative causes and easy wins for RepubliKKKlans, namely regarding issues of D.O.J. filter teams (Korf v. The United States), Mike Lindell’s defamation case (MyPillo v. U.S. Dominion), Second Amendment rights via challenges to bump stock restrictions (W. Clark Aposhian v. Merrick B. Garland and Gun Owners of America v. Merrick B. Garland), and other cases related to redistricting (e.g., Pennsylvania). There is an easy explanation. They only have so much bandwidth each term, and the justices have the numbers and the patience to see through their ultimate goal: To destroy the rule of law. Not to mention some of these cases are redundant such as those related to redistricting. They’re about to enshrine the Independent State Legislature Theory, which will take care of any cases related to elections more generally.

And I do want to make one more point that was recently lost on me, which I should have deduced much earlier. It only takes four justices to vote in favor of granting certiorari. In other words, every case the Court decides to take is entirely at the discretion of the conservative justices. They control the agenda entirely, so you can be confident that whatever cases they choose to review come with a particular objective in mind, which is to undo the last era of progress. Do not be sanguine when SCOTUS passes on a case, for there is a good reason. They’ll eventually get to destroying the rule of law and American society, all in good time. Welcome to stupid America!
