And here’s Mark Levin saying that the Court’s “unwillingness to even hear significant challenges will boomerang”:
1. The irony of the Supreme Court's latest duck is that, in the end, it may have ruined itself — that is, if the Democrats take both Senate seats in Georgia, and Biden is sworn in as presidents,

Kyle Becker put the blame on Republican-led legislatures who didn’t do more before the election to make sure these issues were addressed:

Instead, they rolled over for these tyrants. Shame on them!

Sen. Ben Sasse, the first GOP lawmaker we’ve seen respond to the decision, noted that President Trump’s three picks to the court “closed the book on this nonsense”
