Supreme Court opens election litigation floodgates, says any candidate can challenge voting laws

Any candidate for federal office may challenge election laws governing their election, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 decision Wednesday, potentially triggering a deluge of litigation over the counting and certifying of results.

The Supreme Court overturned the 7th Circuit Court in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, which had itself upheld a lower court decision, finding that Rep. Michael Bost (R-Ill.) had standing to challenge a state law allowing for the counting of mailed ballots that arrive after Election Day if they were postmarked prior.*

When there are enough verdicts of enough size, the cohort of youth who began their ‘gender journeys’ a decade ago will begin to clamor for extended statues of limitations themselves. The ex-trans litigant will become a new social contagion, just like the ‘trans child’ has been, as narrative shifts follow incentives. Then watch the same people who agitated hardest for silencing of dissent, for unrestricted access at any age, become the new hot topic of conversation again.

Many people will say that it all seemed right to them at the time, that pediatric sex lobotomy was presented to them as a miracle drug and a kindness to people who are different. They will plead ignorance of the truth at the time, for there was no way to know that the science was not at all ‘settled’, or that the ‘consensus’ was a lie. Had they only known, they will say, then of course they would have been on the right side of history, because they are good people.

first it was “no,”

then it was “maybe,”

then it was “yes, absolutely,”

then it was “stop asking questions.”

We are officially in Schrödinger’s Indictment territory.

The DOJ is now both right and wrong until observed.
