Far-left Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s silly zinger to justify endless mail-in voting was utterly destroyed at the Supreme Court on Monday.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments on a challenge to the arrival and counting of mail-in ballots. The Republican National Committee and the Libertarian Party of Mississippi filed the lawsuit challenging the mail ballots.
Far-left ‘voter-rights’ groups and Democrat election officials have tried to protect the arrival and counting of mail-in ballots after election day by using ‘states’ rights’ as a cover.
But President Trump and other Republicans point out that the practice delays results and can lead to massive fraud.
Sotomayor tried to entrap Clement by equating the counting of military votes in the 2000 Presidential election in Florida after receipt to what mostly Democratic states have been doing with their late-arriving election ballots.
“Maybe we should have another president now, because wasn’t it in Florida that they were counting military votes after receipt?” She quipped.
But RNC attorney Paul Clement promptly nuked Sotomayor’s not-so-clever argument, explaining why it was the “reddest of red herrings.”
He pointed out that Florida was violating the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states to provide absentee ballots to voters 45 days in advance.
Because of this, courts had to create a consent decree to provide a remedy.

LMFAO! Liberal Justice Sotomayor tries GOTCHA on GOP lawyer, gets CALLED OUT

SOTOMAYOR: Maybe we should have another president now, because wasn’t it in Florida that they were counting military votes after receipt?
CLEMENT: With all due respect, that is the reddest of red herrings because what happened in the 2000 election in Florida was pursuant to a consent decree that was entered by a federal court.
Because Florida was violating the principal provision of UOCAVA (The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act), which says you have to give the absentee ballots to overseas voters 45 days in advance.
Because Florida was violating that, there had to be a consent decree to create a remedy that was not provided.
