Reps. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Mike Waltz, R-Fla., react to high court turning aside Texas election lawsuit on The Story
The Supreme Court threw a wet blanket Friday on a once-popular liberal talking point that Justice Amy Coney Barrett would back President Trump’s efforts to overturn the election when the court denied a Texas effort that would have essentially nullified the presidential elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin.
Back when Trump rushed to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Barrett prior to Election Day, many critics claimed the move could put democracy at risk. Some speculated that Barrett would help overturn the election to help Trump, and others argued that she should recuse herself from any potential vote. But when given the chance, Barrett didn’t do what her critics had long speculated.
