        I’m from Canada so I’m not sure if I’m getting this right, but didn’t he stack the supreme court with republicans/sycophants after RBG died?

          Takes quite a while for them to even think about hearing the case, and if it’s already challenged against exist and clear law, they’ll need to come up with some serious bullshit reasons to even hear it. Either way, will take quite awhile.

            Either way, will take quite awhile.

            And in the meantime, Trump et al will continue to do anything they want. The delay is a feature.

                Judge stopping it is precedent. Can’t be overriden until a high court takes it up.

                Judges have time and time again ruled against Trump’s shenanigans, but then not enforced those rulings “pending appeal.”

        I believe the playbook is to say he already expected that from the judge and attack them while appealing the decision. Chip away at it until something breaks. If the playing field is not level, you can just keep the ball in play to force a win
