The Supreme Court's Blocking Strategy

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

5. For Bush v. Gore SCOTUS issued its decision one day after it heard oral arguments.

This isn't the first time the Court has acted in a way to affect an election.

Justice Kennedy, the Court's swing vote, was favoring Gore. That didn't serve Scalia's purposes, however, so he forced the Court to delay its vote into late in the night and browbeat Kennedy until he wore him down, and the SCOTUS awarded the presidency to Bush.*

In the current instance we can expect the Court to require an additional delaying tactic -- maybe send the case back to the trial court for additional arguments -- and that, plus Cannon's delays, will insure the MAGATs have a second shot at what they failed at before, and literally steal the election.
