Here's the silver lining, Tim, in this dark cloud of manipulative (il)legality that you have highlighted:

These trumpist lawyers have lost in the Courts. The Judges are not fooled by their hyper-legal sophistry.

These Judicial Branch Resolvers-of-Last-Resort are evidence that our esteemed Founders, back in the days of Founding lore, had some accurate understanding of the need for a Tri-part .gov of the people, by the people and for the people.

So we see that, in this post-election clusterfud, our Judges have rescued us from the slings and arrow of outrageous misfortune.

But these salvatory Judges are Lawyers!

Go figure!

How could they have escaped that corruptive maelstrom of amoral LawSchool relativism to become actual conveyers of Justice? and thus deliver us from the clusterfud of post-election Anarchic Crisis?

Perhaps there is more stabilizing correctivity to the "In God We Trust" motto than We the People, in our humanist frenzy, are willing to acknowledge.

In God We Trust, not in the Laws of Man.
