Supreme court has rejected republicans last gasp a bid to try to reverse pennsylvanias certification of president elect joe bidens victory in that electoral battleground battleground today, the court refused to call into question the certification process in the battleground state of pennsylvania. So. With reaction some analysis and help in understanding whats ahead were joined now by san jose state lectured on a crane donna, thank you first of all just talk about the decision today and how this will could impact some of these other legal challenges that are still in the pipeline at what point is there and into all of this. Well today the Supreme Court declines to overturn pennsylvanias Election Results thats the essence of what it is it is the very last of the ditch efforts i would by the Trump Campaign touch to try to reclaim some ground here on an election that effectively he lost on november, 3rd, but is having a hard time accepting see state. Well the weird thing is that so many Trump Supporters have a hard time accepting this as well even with were around 40 lawsuits that have been by the Trump Campaign. They havent won any of them and now the u. S. Supreme court which is a majority conservative group has just shot this down 9 to 0 are where people hanging on to these election conspiracies said. Trump won this election somehow. Right well partisanship is a helluva you know i think the Trump Campaign is continuing to stoke these hopes of a legal for a couple reasons first of it hes the raising money off of this. And so that money can be thanked for future political endeavors of whatever determination and seconds you a said his agrees is a powerful horse, so i think there are advantages to the not to our democracy but to the president for continuing to imply not apply to state outright that this election was not fair. So the Electoral College meets on monday, even before he became president it was clear that. Donald trump is a litigator he likes to take people to court kind of wear them down with the go on and on and on. So are there still other avenues of the Trump Supporters have in the courts to try and make some dent in joe bidens lee. Theres really nothing meaningful left for him and really hasnt been for quite some time i do think 2 things will simultaneously occur. I think first of all joe biden is going to the office of the presidency on january 20th and i think President Trump is going to continue to say every word to everyone who will that he has a grievance and that he believes he won i think both of those facts will be true. And were also hearing that on january 20th as joe biden is getting sworn in as the next president. President trump will be in florida perhaps with a big rally to announce that hes running again in 2024 at it hes not going to go away obviously. Yeah, i do think its i think its unfortunate for democracy for our republic that the last few weeks have seen just such allegations that this wasnt a free and fair elections, you know i think when we train people to believe that they cant trust democracy that they cant trust i think that actually summer its the democratic process i think it makes people less likely to participate the future less likely less likely to trust facts, you know the old saying were going to trust me or your lying and so i think that will be unfortunate and it will it will road democracy if the president continues along this past. So we dont have much time left but real just your reaction to the fact that trump appointees who he had been banking on and talking about for so long and wanting to push these cases to the Supreme Court. They did not side the Trump Supporters are you how do you feel about that. Its a very interesting outcome is and i think many people would have expected that the trump appointed Supreme Court justices might have sided with how much i do think today reminds us president s cant always count on the justices of the judges theyve nominated to side with them all the time and i do think President Trump probably as surprised by that today. Donna crane as always we appreciate your analysis. Thank you.
