In case you were wondering about the judges who’ve consistently ruled against President Trump and his allies in their contesting of the election results, here’s WaPo:
In a remarkable show of near-unanimity across the nation’s judiciary, at least 86 judges — ranging from jurists serving at the lowest levels of state court systems to members of the United States Supreme Court — rejected at least one post-election lawsuit filed by Trump or his supporters, a Washington Post review of court filings found. …
The Post found that 38 judges appointed by Republicans dealt blows to such suits, with some writing searing opinions.
The latest example came Saturday, when federal District Judge Brett H. Ludwig, a Trump nominee who took the bench in September, dismissed a lawsuit filed by the president that sought to throw out the election results in Wisconsin, calling the request “extraordinary.”
“A sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration, issues he plainly could have raised before the vote occurred,” he wrote. “This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits.”
This is a key differentiator between private and public sectors. Trump may have expected favorable rulings because he nominated many of those Republican judges, and in the other cases he had assumed control of the Republican Party.
But they had a greater allegiance: to the rule of law.
And Trump didn’t get it. I doubt he’ll ever get it. That’s not how the private sector operates, and that’s all he understands. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s kept lists of traitor GOP-appointed judges, and publishes them, as a warning to others.
All that keeps Trump afloat is the support of the Evangelical pastors who continue to advise them, those grifters and con-men, who lead their flocks into supporting the Father of Lies as still being worthy of holding the Presidency, despite losing the election, vast incompetency, and, well, being a chronic liar.
As with the election officials, I offer congratulations on doing their jobs, and that they continue to collect their paychecks.
