John Roberts Betrays Trump Again, Ruling Will Allow PA Ballots to Be Counted Several Days After Election (Video)


Chief Justice John RobertsĀ sided with liberalsĀ on the Supreme Court, creating a deadlock and denying a request by the Pennsylvania GOP to count ballots only if they’ve been received by Election Day.

The 4-4 tie means the decision from the lower court remains in place.

Last month, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots can be counted up to three days after the election, even if they lack a legible postmark.

The court stated that ballots counted during the extension period must be postmarked by the close of polls on Election Day.

The AP, however,Ā noted thatĀ ā€œballots can be counted if they lack a postmark, a legible postmark or some proof of mailing,ā€ with the only disqualifying feature being if a ā€œpreponderance of the evidenceā€ shows it was mailed after Election Day.

Even CNNĀ highlightedĀ Roberts’ conservative betrayal stating, ā€œOnce again Roberts has moved left to side with his liberal colleagues in an area where he has a very conservative record.ā€

John Roberts Allows Ballots to Be Counted Well After Election Day

The phrase ā€˜John Roberts has sided with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court’ is becoming a foregone conclusion at this point.

The victory for Democrats here is nearly immeasurable.

Democrat nominee Joe Biden and President Trump have both been competing for votes in Pennsylvania, a crucial state for both challenger and incumbent.

No Democrat has won the presidency without capturing Pennsylvania since Harry Truman in 1948.

Trump won the Keystone State over Hillary Clinton in 2016 by just overĀ 40,000 votes.

Three days worth of mail-in ballots discovered in drop boxes and satellite offices after the election could potentially cast doubt on the results.

Republican National Committee national press secretary Mandi Merritt issued aĀ statementĀ on the deadlock.

ā€œWe are disappointed that the court declined to confront the important issues raised in our motion,ā€ she said. ā€œThe Constitution delegates these issues to elected state legislatures rather than judges for a reason.ā€

Amy Coney Barrett Looms Large

Conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin blasted Roberts for his pattern of betrayal.

ā€œJohn Roberts blows it again,ā€ heĀ tweeted. ā€œWhat a truly horrible and politically-motivated justice. Disaster.ā€

CNN analyst Steve Vladeck was quick to observe how the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court would be critical to blunting Roberts’ liberal rulings.

ā€œOnce again, Chief Justice Roberts played the same role he’s played over the last year – appearing to put what he views as the court’s institutional interests ahead of what he otherwise might’ve preferred,ā€ Vladeck pointed out.

ā€œBut with the confirmation of Judge Barrett seemingly a fait accompli, this may be one of the last times that such a move by him is decisive.ā€

And that would be a good thing for the country.
