Ep. 27 "U.S. Under Pressure"

So in the breaking news lately, what we've seen, a big story we've been following leading up to the midterms is the mail ballot reform that Trump's been pursuing.

Mm hmm.

Supreme Court just came in again and struck down Trump's attempt to continue in implementing the postmaster general and the USPS to reforming the mail-in ballots for the midterms.

Put a

pause on that.

And so Trump will not be allowed to impose those restrictions on mail-in ballots for the midterms.

which he was not very happy about.

He did throw one of his childlike tantrums,

scorning

some of his appointed justices to the Supreme Court, which you never like to see.

But Justice Kavanaugh did leave the door open for Trump, telling him that there will be an opportunity to challenge it and to implement them if he can find a different approach.

Different approach.

I thought it just ran out of time.

They said they couldn't implement it because there's just not enough time for states.

So it creates too much of a burden.

I don't know if that was the official word.

I just saw that Kavanaugh said that he would have to take a different approach to the mail-in ballot reform.

So I don't know if it's a time restriction or...

Yeah, I think

it's just

time restriction

for this time.

But I don't know.

I've seen some copium coming from the MAGA sphere saying something like, It sets up, there's like a precedent where all the, there's like a chilling effect basically going on with all the election officials because the DOJ has already announced that if they find out that any basically illegal ballots were sent out, that they will be prosecuted.

And I guess some sort of list has already been compiled of eligible voters by the federal government, so they'll just be cross-referencing, going back through when the election's done, and then saying, okay, why did you send this off to illegals when you knew they were illegal? Prosecuted.
