US 3rd Circuit totally rejects Trump’s appeal in Pennsylvania

Trump will not win in a Pa. state court. But he has to go through them to get to the US Supreme Court. Even though the current legislature is Republican the majority of Pa. judges were appointed by Fast Eddie Rendell and other previous Democrat Governors.
On a larger point it is bad for the Country that the judiciary has become so politicized and not independent. The best honest and open legal minds are not appointed. Reliable partisans are. Florida is a perfect example. For years the Florida Supreme Court appointed by Dem Gov's Askew, Chiles, Graham. etc. typically ruled to Dem's liking. Now that the Court is made up mostly of Rep Gov's Martinez, Bush, Crist (Charlie was a Rep then, after he was a Dem, now he is a Dem again - what way is the wind blowing) and Scott appointed, it usually rules in Reps favor. Have the laws changed or just the political leanings of the judges?

As part of my post above, I was encouraged by the independence of the federal judiciary in PA. In both the US trial court and 3Rd Circuit Appelate court decisions against the Trump campaigns, the presiding judges are Republicans who were appointed by Trump. They nevertheless demolished the legal arguments and lack of proof filed by Rudy and friends. When I say “demolished”, I mean it. The language of the judges was devastating.
What do you think SCOTUS will do? Maybe we should have a poll. Put me on the record as saying:
The SCOTUS will decline to review the decisions of the Federal trial court and the Federal Appellate Court. Very, very few cases are reviewed by SCOTUS. They more commonly wade in when there are contradictory precedents decided by a variety of federal courts. That conflict doesn’t exist here. Also, Chief Justice Roberts will steer the court away from injecting itself into a political fight. That’s a losing battle for SCOTUS in a politically polarized country.
Whats your take?
Thanks.
If SCOTUS takes up case and rules in Trumps favor will you likewise be impressed or will you say the Court is biased because Trump appointed 3 of the Justices??
As far as Robert’s steering the court that ship has sailed he is a Lame Duck now and there’s a new sherif in town. Gorsich put Robert’s in his place and on Notice with the 5-4 ruling over Cuomos lock downs.
IMO, it will go to SCOTUS. I am not a legal scholar, but from what I understand a PA judge allowed mail in ballots to be accepted beyond what the time legislatively passed law allowed. Hence the judge changed the law. As to Roberts, IMO he has lost the respect of Thomas and Alito. Barrett and Gorsuch will follow them. Kavanaugh, i question.
Forensic inspections coming on the dominion machines in GA. We shall see what happens. This could turn the whole thing around. I think they find evidence how bout you??
