“ Asome judges are terrified by these troubled and depraved Democrats and are totally unable to demonstrate the courage needed to save our America,” Donald Trump wrote on his Social Truth network, classifying the decision as a “great defeat for Republicans and the United States.”.
The President again attacked the mail vote, used by almost a third of the US voters, considering it to be a “totally corrupt and out of control” system and “motiva de chacota around the world”.
According to Trump, the decision facilitates the possibility of electoral fraud by the Democrats, an accusation that he reiterated without presenting evidence.
“The Supreme Court really let down our country!”, Trump wrote.
On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected an emergency request from the US administration to allow, before the mid-term elections, the application of a standard whereby the postal service could only send ballots to citizens included in lists drawn up by the states, responsible for organizing the federal elections.
Conservative judges Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas was the only one who expressed disagreement with the decision, according to Trump.
The President noted that three of the six conservative Supreme Court magistrates, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, were appointed by you during the first term and voted against the immediate application of the restrictions.
“ These are not the people I interviewed to serve in the Supreme Court. They are just a shadow of what they were originally,” Trump wrote, who also accused the court of costing the United States “billion dollars with terrible and surprising decisions”, in reference to other recent judicial setbacks suffered by its administration.
Among these are decisions that overthrew most of the tariffs imposed by the White House last year on most of the U.S. trade partners and maintained the right to US citizenship by birth, which Trump intended to restrict.
