The tweet came just hours after the high court dismissed a long-shot lawsuit brought by the Texas attorney general against four battleground states that Trump lost to President-elect Joe Biden. The suit sought to overturn the election results, but the court refused to even consider the case.
It was not the first time the Supreme Court had angered Trump with an unfriendly ruling. Just five days earlier, the justices had unanimously ruled against another Republican attempt to undo Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday rejected a Texas lawsuit to invalidate the Nov. 3 presidential election results in four battleground states that President Donald Trump lost to his Democratic rival Joe Biden, all but ending Trump’s effort to overturn the election outcome through the courts.
In a brief unsigned order, the Supreme Court said Texas does not have “standing” to sue Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, adding that the state “has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.”
