Joseph McCarthy’s repugnant lawyer, Roy Cohn, was to have said “Fuck the law, who are the judges?” Cohn was a mentor to the repugnant Donald Trump, who seems to be acting out that approach to the “law”.
Trump knew he was going to lose the vote long ago, so he went on a months’ long campaign to suppress and invalidate the votes. This evil campaign has failed to keep the Biden vote below his own, but....he is throwing as many lawsuits as it takes to get the election before the Supreme Court. False claims of voter fraud (which Reps have been trying to prove for decades and can’t because it is just a fantasy and an excuse, not a reality)
So, he has just appointed a sixth “conservative” judge, Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court on the clear understanding that she would rule in his favor on the election.
So, Trump is saying that the law doesn’t matter if you have the judges in your hip pocket. I think he may be in for a big surprise and discover that at least a couple of “his” judges won’t ignore the law for him.
And then he gets to deal with lots of judges as a private citizen for a multitude of financial crimes and corruption.
