It turns out speculative pearl clutching without a shred of evidentiary support makes for bad legal arguments:

Trump is such a disgusting autocrat, he knows the only way he can win is to have a court shut down this entire election and just declare him the winner.

And we, the people, just won in Harris County, Texas. Even GOP appointed judges are sick of the voter suppression from Trump’s campaign.

Our system doesn’t make it easy for him to act as an actual autocrat, but he’s doing his best to erode checks on his power.

The Republicans keep digging a deeper hole for themselves with these asinine moves. After this election is over they are going to really find out how toxic Trump is to them. He could careless about the mess he leaves behind.

i long for the day where the president only makes the news when he does newsworthy things - ya know, meeting with heads of state, signing a bill into law, etc

i'm tired of the "he threatened to sue" or "he tweeted"
