1. Kicking for those who might want to listen tonight

I saw on another thread that they video who is speaking, so I'm going to watch them rather than the audio at SCOTUS.

3. A good primer for it (although I need more help than you do)

Is this thread by Mueller She Wrote, and I can't believe Alito said this:

?

Alito: a stable democratic society requires that a candidate who loses an election must leave office peacefully. D: of course. A: if an incumbent who loses a close election knows that a real possibility after leaving office isn't that POTUS is able to retire but that he may be prosecuted by a bitter political opponent, will that not lead us into a cycle that destabilizes our democracy?

D: i think it's the opposite. There are LAWFUL mechanisms to challenge the outcome of an election. Trump and his allies filed dozens of legal challenges and lost all but one. Judges said in order to sustain substantial claims of fraud, you need evidence and none of those things were manifested. So there's an appropriate way to challenge the results. if you lose, you concede.
