and I vaguely recall in the history of actually counting ballots cast the Supreme Court in the past have directed the country to stop counting ballots "Justice Scalia said that "the counting of votes that are of questionable legality does in my view threaten irreparable harm to petitioner," Governor Bush, "by casting a cloud upon what he claims to be the legitimacy of his election." That I imagine has only gotten worse since 2000.

I'm late to catching up on my emails, and enjoyed the chuckles at your splendid turns of phrase ("happy horse torturers at the VRC" set me off).

Your predictions were I believe spot on! But of course the superspreader in Chief has ruined it all! Everything is still likely to happen, or not. Trump may emerge from Walter Reed in 2 weeks, like the xtian god's annointed one he believes himself to be, and even more dangerously unhinged than before. Or not, if there's any justice (there's not). But it's looking increasingly unlikely that his SCOTUS pick will be appointed. The plot twists are doing my head in! I'm an atheist, who believes my dead aunties spirits look out for me (all former Catholics are a bit confused imo). So I like to think RBG is having her revenge from beyond the grave, cos nobody messes with her!
