Democrats got well and truly cooked. Calling this a “Hail Mary” is far too generous. It’s not even that. It’s more like a begging death-rattle. It’s not like the United States Supreme Court would ever intervene in a complete state issue decided by the state Supreme Court. There is no Constitutional issue involved here. No, SCOTUS will certainly not get involved. Why on earth would they?
And they’re trying to drag the Supreme Court into this? It’s a Hail Mary for sure and not a very good one. Does anyone actually believe that this will succeed, that the Supreme Court will even take the case? It makes no sense. There’s really no jurisdiction for the U.S. Supreme Court to get involved. The only thing this emergency appeal does is make them look more desperate.
… On CNN’s The Arena, he [Scott Jennings] mocked the idea that the U.S. Supreme Court would wade into this fight. “There’s a better chance of me sprouting wings and flying out of that window over there than the United States Supreme Court dealing with this in any way, because this is a state Supreme Court ruling on a state constitution.”
I doubt very much that SCOTUS will even choose to hear the case. There just is no reason to do so.
