2020 ELECTION/COURTS/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “He [Donald Trump] thought he could stack the courts with friendly judges who would support him no matter what.

He went so far as to say he needed nine justices on the Supreme Court because he thought the election would end up in the Supreme Court and they would hand him the [2020] election.

And he was stunned, truly stunned, when the judges he appointed didn’t do his bidding, but instead acted with integrity, followed the Constitution, and upheld the rule of law.

Not just once or twice, or three times — but over 60 times.

In more than 60 cases, in state after state after state, and then at the Supreme Court judges, including people he considered quote ‘his’ judges, ‘Trump judges’ — the courts looked at the allegations Trump was making and determined they were without merit.

Nothing was judged to put the election in question or doubt.”
