ALITO'S DISSENT ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS IS A MASTERPIECE AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT

While the mainstream media is busy celebrating today's ruling, four justices stood in the breach and said what every honest American already knows. Alito's dissent in Watson v. RNC is not just a legal argument. It is a warning shot about where this country is headed if we do not get serious about election integrity.

Read these words carefully.

Alito wrote that when thousands of absentee ballots flow in after Election Day and potentially flip the result of an election, charges of a rigged election explode. That is a sitting Supreme Court Justice, in an official dissent, validating what the corporate media has spent four years calling a conspiracy theory.

He went further.

Alito cited research showing that drawn-out ballot counting produces a large and significant decrease in Americans' trust in elections. Not a talking point. Not a campaign slogan. Peer reviewed research cited in a Supreme Court dissent. The problem is real, it is documented, and five justices just decided to ignore it.

On fraud, Alito was surgical.

He pointed out that as far back as 2005, a commission chaired by Jimmy Carter and James Baker concluded that absentee voting was the largest source of potential voter fraud in American elections. Jimmy Carter. The left canonizes that man. His own commission said mail-in ballots are the biggest fraud vulnerability we have. And today's majority just threw the door open wider.

Then Alito did something remarkable.

He painted a picture of exactly what this ruling could produce. A close presidential election. One state still counting. The leading candidate watching his margin shrink day after day as new batches of mail-in ballots arrive. The lead flipping with days to spare before electors must cast their votes. He was not writing fiction. He was describing something we have already watched happen in slow motion in race after race since 2020.

He also torched the majority's logic directly.

Barrett and Roberts argued that the word election in federal law only governs when voters CAST their ballots, not when officials RECEIVE them. Alito called this what it is. The electorate's choice is not complete, he argued, until all the ballots have been collected and the decision is fixed. A ballot sitting in a mail truck three days after Election Day is not a completed act of voting. It is an open question. And open questions are where fraud lives.

He also raised something nobody else is talking about.

What is the limiting principle here? If states can accept ballots five days late, can they accept them twenty-one days late? Washington State already does. Can a state eliminate receipt deadlines entirely? Alito asked that question directly and the majority gave no answer. They opened a door and refused to say how far it swings.

Thomas and Gorsuch stood with Alito completely. Kavanaugh joined most of it.
And Barrett, the justice we were told would hold the line, wrote the opinion that Alito was dissenting against.

History will not be kind to this decision. But it may be very kind to this dissent. The greatest dissents in Supreme Court history are often the ones that turn out to be right. Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch put it on the record today.

The question is what we do with it.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

Just as you can vote in socialism but you can’t vote it out, it was very easy for the Biden administration to throw open the doors of the United States to every Third World invader who wanted to come to the United States.

All they had to do was get across the border and then the taxpayer funded NGOs would counsel them on how to claim asylum. At that point, they’re in the pipeline and it’s almost impossible to get them all out.

To now remove even half of the millions that Biden let in is going to require laser focused, iron handed political will. And in the last few days, it is starting to sound like the Trump Admin doesn’t have it.

And even further, when they blinked at the hysterics of the white liberal lady brigade crying about ICE enforcement, they demoralized the base and signaled that they will not actually do what we elected them to do.

I will never black pill, but I am losing faith that Trump has any real commitment to getting this job done.

So Biden let them in because the Democrats are always committed to their political goals. And we undo just a tiny FRACTION of the damage he did and call it victory.

That is why we are losing this country.

She did not vote to terminate TPS.

She doesn’t vote, she’s not in Congress.
She doesn’t control TPS, she’s not the President.

She just followed the law that the President has the right to terminate TPS.

You’re a retard.

MITCHELL: 3 ways to pass the Save America Act.

1. Freeze every Dem priority until 8 Dems agree to vote for cloture.
2. Put it into reconciliation and overrule the parliamentarian with a majority vote. Put @JDVance in the chair and pass it with 51 votes.
3. Force a talking filibuster and keep the Senate in session 24/7 until Dems give in.

Trump should veto the housing bill until the Save America Act is on his desk.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

This FBI’s investigation proved that John Bolton knowingly transmitted top secret information using personal online accounts and retained said documents in his house - all in direct violation of federal law.

Despite an onslaught of false claims by the fake news stating this case was ‘retribution,’ this investigation was based on meticulous work from dedicated professionals at the FBI who followed the facts without fear or favor - and Bolton chose to admit his guilt and pled guilty.

He is now a convicted felon for violating one of the most consequential trusts placed upon government officials.

@shipwreckedcrew Will absolutely happen!

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

A true asylum seeker is supposed to seek asylum in the first country after they cross the border of their home country.

True asylum seekers are not entitled to wander the planet in search of a place they like in order to ask for asylum.

The true asylum process has been corrupted by those who believe in economic migration.

[Cleta Mitchell @CletaMitchell]

I’ve been calling the White House to ask @realDonaldTrump to veto the housing bill until SAVE America Act is on his desk. ALL WHITE HOUSE PHONE LINES ARE BUSY! Finally was able to record a message at [phone]. MAGA is melting the WH phone lines! Post on your social media that @realDonaldTrump must veto housing bill until passage of SAVE America Act! @EIwatchdogs

We must get the message to the President!

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

More lies.

If they had lawful status when they arrived, and they maintained their lawful status until now, ending TPS does not effect them.

They may have entered legally -- with a visa -- but if they became illegal when their visa expired and they did not depart, then they are illegal aliens.

TPS provided them immunity from removal when they became illegal, but it DID NOT grant them lawful status -- EVER. TPS does not change status.

When TPS was cancelled, their status remains the same -- the simply no longer have immunity from removal.

I can keep this up all day -- you post lies and I post the law.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

President Trump told Congress flat out that he will NOT sign the bipartisan housing bill ("bipartisan" itself should be a red flag) unless Congress passes the SAVE America Act. Period.

Sen. Thune (of the Ball-less RINO song fame) is STILL somehow stalling on this. He's the kind of guy who would hide under his desk during a water balloon fight and then brag about his combat strategy. He's talking tough on camera, but then stalls the SAVE America Act because he still answers to the Washington Boys Club, NOT YOU.

We are DONE with politicians who fold when it matters. Call and email your Senators TODAY. Be incredibly kind, but be absolutely firm: Attach the SAVE America Act to must-pass legislation, or you are out. No proof of citizenship for voting, NO SUPPORT.

They will NOT allow me into — as a ticketed individual — the South Dakota Republican Party dinner w/ Senate Majority Leader Thune.

JUSTICE THOMAS: “[A]liens have no equal protection rights against the Federal Government.”

This should be the baseline position for every single GOP politician and lawyer, and we should tolerate nothing less.

The people who got elected in New York are communists who have explicitly said that western civilization is the enemy and should be destroyed. Go ahead and take their side, you absolute fool. They’ll thank you for your assistance and then slit your throat the first chance they get. These people hate whites, hate America, hate western civilization, and they aren’t remotely trying to hide it.

[Acting AG Todd Blanche @DAGToddBlanche]

Today the Supreme Court upheld the Trump Administration’s clear authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian nationals.

The Department of Justice successfully defended the position that TPS was always meant to be temporary. This ruling rejects efforts to turn the program into a loophole abused by illegal aliens to remain in the United States.

Proud of this department’s work to advance President Trump’s agenda of securing our borders and upholding the rule of law.

[Kevin Roberts @KevinRobertsTX]

What a ridiculous argument. So we ignore an 80/20, common sense issue, as if popular pressure won’t affect how REPUBLICAN senators might vote? Or that actually enforcing the filibuster rules (to actually debate a bill—shocking) might actually work?

This losing mindset is what the conservative base is so tired of. And they should be angry, given what they sacrifice to elect conservative majorities.

[Mark Springer @mas0155]

@lawler4ny Quite the ratio you got there!

[Mark Springer @mas0155]

@JonathanTurley Well color me shocked 🙀.

[Kevin Roberts @KevinRobertsTX]

Defending the Senate filibuster on “principle” at this point is effectively a defense of open borders, DEI mandates, a packed SCOTUS, 4 new Marxist senators, abolishing the Electoral College, and more.

The Left already told us their plans. What conservative principles justify protecting any of that?
