To me, the fact that the courts largely rejected Trump's allegations is the best evidence that he was telling the truth. Let's remember what our courts have also held: the unborn can be murdered, Black people have no rights that white people must respect, the government can intern people based on race, the government can sterilize people it deems unfit, the government can ban homosexuality, oops the government can't discriminate against gays, the 14th Amendment doesn't prohibit segregation by race, oops - it does, but take your time doing anything about it, Obamacare is a tax & it's still okay w/o the tax part, and on and on and on. The courts are the friends of the status quo (aka the rich and powerful); the courts do NOT protect individual rights. Fools point to a few "correct" decisions & ignore all the errors. Remember the "good" decisions are merely PARTIAL fixes to the bad ones. Congress banned discrimination on race in the 1870s; the courts rejected those statutes until they slowly began changing the law & - even then - they made enforcement difficult. The courts aren't the friends of liberty; they wanted to defeat Trump & they invented legal excuses to do so - they did not even pretend to be interested in justice or law. I read those decisions, briefs etc - it was all a joke. The powers-that-be wanted Biden, and the courts obliged, as they always do. Eventually, they'll get around to fixing the election laws & then we'll hear how great they are. Courts have good press, but they're terrible for human rights. Don't believe me? Ask all the slaves they freed (none); ask all the people they sentenced to segregation for decades; ask all the unborn they sent to the slaughterhouses. Courts protect the rich and powerful; they function like a House of Lords to ensure that change happens slowly & w/ the elite's approval - and you'd know that if you judged by the facts & not the hype.
