"The administration is increasingly asking the #SupremeCourt, which Trump helped shape by nominating three justices, to step in, not only to rule in its favor but also to send a message to federal judges, who #Trump and his allies claim are overstepping their authority. ...
The government argued that individual judges lack the power to give nationwide effect to their rulings, touching on a legal issue that’s concerned some justices before."

The Texas Senate passed a bill that would require people to provide proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in state elections. It would effectively require the state to prepare one ballot for federal elections and another for state elections.

Elon Musk spent $250 million to buy a national election for Donald Trump. He attempted to buy another election to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat with $25 million in a single state election.

Wisconsin told him a resounding "NO!" that he cannot buy another seat of power.

"Let that sink in."

Curious about political tactics? President Elmo's recent Green Bay rally has sparked controversy over his endorsement of Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel and plans to distribute funds to promote his petition. Initially framed as rewards for voting, the scheme faced backlash over potential bribery implications. With checks handed to notable figures, scrutiny increased when a video exposed ulterior motives, leading to a retraction by Musk's America PAC.

這場Musk輸了,非常好。

Susan Crawford贏得了,
Wisconsin州最高法院法官的席位,
使得自由派在州法院中仍然佔據多數。
這是美國史上最昂貴的法院選舉。

Musk繼續揮灑美金去收買籠絡人心。
反而在當地讓一些選民形成了負面觀感。
Wisconsin的選民用選票作為回答。

一個68歲的身障退伍老兵說,
他本來是想棄權的,最後轉投了Crawford。
他覺得Musk砍掉了人們需要的東西。

一個65歲選民說,
Musk不該試圖賄賂市民。這不應該被允許。
他感到氣憤。

Susan Crawford在勝選演講裡說,
"... that justice does not have a price.
Our courts are not for sale."
