President Donald Trump and the GOP have filed dozens of lawsuits since Election Day. They are looking to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Business Insider have sued in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They've notched zero victories. There are 38 cases where they've withdrawn or lost. There are four cases pending.
President Donald Trump on Saturday aimed a large dose of spleen at the US Supreme Court. According to Business Insider, Trump's latest outburst stems from his loss to now President-elect Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Trump and his campaign's legal team have so far lost all attempts made at reversing the election result. Trump said he had 'PROOF' of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, but did not provide any such evidence. During his tenure, Trump successfully nominated three justices to the court: Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett in 2020. But now, he counts them among the rest of the Supreme Court justices as 'totally incompetent' and 'weak.'
Violence between protesters, counter-protesters, and police in Washington, DC, and Olympia, Washington, led to four stabbings and one shooting. Business Insider reports four people were stabbed during a pro-Trump rally in Washington DC while another was shot in Olympia, Washington. Business Insider reports the four stabbing victims are in critical condition. The condition of the shooting victim remains unknown. The rallies were held the day after the Supreme Court rejected a bid to overturn the election results following President Donald Trump's latest legal challenge. The clashes came two days before the electoral college results are expected to confirm President-elect Joe Biden's win.
Business Insider reports former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday had sharp words for President Donald Trump's legal team. Christie told Martha Radditz on ABC's 'This Week' that the team's approach to overturning the election results was 'an absurdity.' It's an absurd idea to think that any state, or any number of states, no matter how good they are, can challenge another state's right to run the election as they see fit. Chris Christie Former Governor of the State of New Jersey Friday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the GOP-backed lawsuit brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton due to lack of standing. In addition to Paxton, 17 state attorneys general and 126 Congressional Republicans had signed an amicus brief backing the lawsuit. "The reason the Supreme Court is not taking this is not because of a lack of courage. It's for the same reason that every court has thrown this out. It's a lack of evidence and a lack of any type of legal theory that makes any sense."
