The Consistency of Trump's Criticism Towards Judges Dismissing Voter Fraud Cases
Considering the contentious confirmation process of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, it is no wonder many feared the appointment of an unfit, ill-tempered individual to the nation's highest court.
As Senate Republicans disregarded traditional norms, they ensured that dangerous nominees gained lifetime seats on America's federal courts. This practice has led to the appointment of several justices who share similarities with Brett Kavanaugh.
Consistency in Rulings
Despite the controversial nature of their appointments, these judges heard the cases and often rejected several arguments put forth by Trump's legal team. Their decisions were frequently marked by harsh, reproachful language.
This trend was not limited to judges appointed by Republicans; even those nominated by Democrats have shown a consistent approach when dismissing claims of voter fraud. For instance, a U.S. District Judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging Michigan’s election results, stating: 'This ship has sailed.' This decision was echoed across other states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, further demonstrating their unity in rejecting the false assertions made by Trump.
National Unity Against Election Denialism
At least 86 judges nationwide demonstrated remarkable consistency when they ruled against Trump's post-election litigation. Among these judges, at least eight who were appointed by Trump either decided against or declined to support the pro-Trump campaign promoting irrational claims of widespread election fraud and anomalies.
Eight percent of the 46 individuals on the shortlists for potential appointments fell short of Trump's expectations. This indicates a strong rejection of the election denialism that has become a focal point in both Trump's campaign and Republican politics since the 2016 primary.
Trumponomics in Judicature
Trumponomics, as seen in the legal arena, has led to a significant dismissal of cases involving voter fraud. Over 70 judges dismissed Trump's cases, with more than half of these dismissals based on a complete lack of evidence.
Many of these judges were Trump appointees, but rather than showing loyalty or political favor, they dismissed the cases due to lack of evidence. They were accused of being corrupt, incompetent, or cowards, but their decisions consistently aligned with a stance against election denialism and the spread of false claims of widespread voter fraud.
The consistency in these rulings across different jurisdictions highlights a nationwide uniformity in rejecting Trump's allegations of electoral irregularities. It underscores the critical role of the judiciary in maintaining the integrity of the electoral process and the need for continued scrutiny of legal appointments.
