That may be true. This will likely wind up in front of the Supreme Court.

While this Supreme Court has 3 Judges appointed by Donald Trump, it has not always sided with him or all of his interests. This is the same Supreme Court that struck down the Independent State Legislatures Concept and rejected a number of his election challenge cases.

While extreme on a lot of issues, the topic of election integrity is one area they have been consistent. They even upheld a ruling striking down the NC State Legislatures attempt to re-gerrymander their districts.

Trump thinks people who hold their positions thanks to him are therefore supposed to do what he wants, hence his devotion to appointing judges. Fortunately, they tend to put the law first, not personal loyalty.

She’s been admonished twice, is relatively inexperienced, especially for a case of this import and scope, and judges find it embarrassing to be overturned on appeal. She may not become the slam-dunk for him as many (including me) fear. I withhold judgement for now and cross my fingers.

Keep crossing, but the fact that she recently raised an issue about grand jury location that trump's defense hadn't but right wing media had is not encouraging....
