They lack substance and credibility.

It only takes one win in the Supreme Court.

SPC Kevin Ford - They've weighed in on lesser things.
The importance of this virtually assures that they will take the case.

1SG (Join to see) - That doesn’t comport with how the SCOTUS decides to take on cases. It isn’t based on some idea of importance. They only take on cases they want to and generally take cases for two reasons:
- There are conflicting rulings on questions of law in the different circuits and they want to clarify a uniform result.
- There is a legitimate question as to the ruling in a lower court.

The first instance clearly doesn’t apply and the Trump team so far has not brought any compelling cases that would fall into the second. The court is loath to be seen as political and they know from the fallout from 2000 that getting involved in that way is damaging to the court. Unless there is some truly solid reason to believe a lower court got it wrong, I’d be surprised if they weigh in, particularly in a way that would rule on a election result.

SPC Kevin Ford - Especially when ALL of the lower courts are kicking Trump's suits for the same reasons. There are no conflicting rulings, and thus far, there has been no legitimate legal question raised about a lower court ruling (other than 'we must take it to a Republican court').
