Talk about resilience. Talk about plain dogged persistence. Rudy Giuliani, whom COVID19 could not kill, is forging ahead with the legal fight that will not die.
Giuliani, obviously, is the very first of the humanoids of relentless pursuit. He is the first true warrior in The Rise of the Machines. He is the Terminator, Prototype I.
You can tell him: "But Rudy -- the Supreme Court declined to hear 'the big one!'" He knows you mean the Texas-led lawsuit meant to disenfranchise four states that voted for Joe Biden.
Giuliani answered in a recent interview: “The case wasn’t rejected on the merits. The case was rejected on standing. So the answer to that is to bring the case now to the district court by the president, by some of the electors, alleging some of the same facts where there would be standing.”
He went on: “There’s nothing that prevents us from filing these cases immediately in the district court in which the president of course would have standing, some of the electors would have standing in that their constitutional rights have been violated.”
“We’re not finished [with election lawsuits],” he concluded. "Believe me.”
We do believe it, even though the electors will seal the election results on Monday.
Problem is, we can't predict what Trump and Trumpies might do next. Could Trump try to impeach electors? Is it possible that the electors and their families could be in danger from Trump's goofy bands of bullies? Could they hold families hostage till they get the results they want?
At this point, it seems, nothing is impossible.
Giuliani and Trump are trying to get tens of millions of votes thrown out. Voting is a critical right. But they don’t seem to care about our rights, do they? What do they care about? Is there any realistic possibility that they will target the electors next?
