Ever since Election Day,
President Trump has made it clear
that he would not accept the will of the voters
and allow Joe Biden to move into his house.
Instead, he promised to fight the election results in court,
where he was sure that he could count
on his handpicked Supreme Court justices
to rule in his favor.
Well, over the weekend, Trump got a reality check.
The Supreme Court deals a crushing blow
to President Trump in his attempt
to overturn the election.
NEWSMAN 2: The lawsuit was attempting
to nullify electoral votes
from four states that Joe Biden won--
Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The response to the lawsuit came in the first sentence.
"...denied for lack of standing
under Article III of the Constitution,"
saying that "Texas did not have an interest
"in the manner which another state" conducts its elections.
The president had repeatedly said that he wanted his case
to go to the high court,
particularly after he'd appointed a third justice.
But the justices decided
they didn't even want to hear the case,
essentially saying that the state of Texas,
which filed the suit, had no business suing
over another state's election.
And now Mr. Trump's legal options
have effectively run out.
Man, I'm sorry, guys, but that is ice cold.
Like, vaccine-storing temperatures ice cold.
Because not only did the Supreme Court
not even hear Trump's case.
They announced to everyone that they weren't gonna hear it.
Like, it's bad enough
when someone sends you straight to voicemail,
but imagine if they then went around
telling everyone that they did it.
Yo, you see Donald tried to call me?
You want me to hang up on this bitch?
I'm about to hang up. I'm about to hang up.
Oh, ho-ho-ho. He gone.
Although, to be fair to the Court,
this is also such a weird case for them to get.
Because it's from Texas.
Texas suing a bunch of other states
about how their elections went.
That's like telling the waiter that another table
should have their food sent back.
Yeah, I noticed that their food was a little too hot.
You should probably take it back for them.
And frankly, I agree with that.
It's a good thing that states can't just sue other states
for any reason, because if that was allowed,
there would be lawsuits all the time.
Connecticut would be suing New York
for the constant noise violations.
Colorado would sue Wyoming for stealing their shape.
And every state would be suing Texas
for having Ted Cruz.
So this really should be the end of it.
The Supreme Court has spoken,
and today, members of the electoral college
officially cast their votes to elect Joe Biden
as the new President of the United States.
Which means there is nothing more that Donald Trump can do.
Oh, that's what you might think!
Because Donald Trump did not become
a successful businessman by accepting
that he was a failed businessman.
And he's not about to accept
that he lost the electoral college, either.
Now, with this rejection by the Supreme Court tonight,
the president's legal challenges are all but over,
but congressional Republicans can still challenge
the outcome of the electoral college vote
when Congress meets on January 6.
We have more than enough time to right the wrong
of this fraudulent election result
and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election.
As we speak, today, an alternate slate of electors
in the contested states is going to vote,
and we're going to send those results up to Congress.
This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open.
Damn. That's extreme, man.
So Stephen Miller's just gonna reject reality,
the same way his hair just rejected his head?
Trump is gonna have a alternate slate of electors
vote for him.
I mean, why stop there?
Why don't they just send those alternate electors
to an alternate Congress and then have them upheld
by an alternate Supreme Court?
And then he can become president of an alternate country.
Maybe whichever country speaks that weird foreign language
that Trump's been speaking for the last four years.
(imitating Trump slurring gibberish)
Hey, look, I understand the desperation.
I really do.
I mean, what is Stephen Miller gonna do
once Trump is out of office?
Collect tolls under his old bridge?
But here's what worries me.
If none of these political or legal schemes work out,
Trump's people might try to take things into their own hands.
NEWSMAN: Thousands of Trump supporters
gathering in Washington to rally for President Trump,
citing unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud.
NEWSWOMAN: President Trump's supporters undeterred,
with some, including members of far-right extremist group
the Proud Boys, rallying to support him.
Clashes with counter protestors turning violent.
Four people stabbed, according to police,
and more than 30 people arrested.
MAN: I don't know who's going to the White House
in 38 days, but I sure know this:
Joe Biden is a globalist, and Joe Biden will be removed
one way or another!
Oof. "Joe Biden will be removed one way or another"?
That gorilla who just figured out hair dye is really intense.
But this is how far Republicans have gone
since Election Day.
You remember at first they were like:
Hold on, hold on. We don't know who will win the recounts.
Just let the process play out.
Then they recounted all the votes,
and Republicans were like:
We don't know who'll win the legal challenges.
Just let the process play out.
And now that the legal challenges are over,
they're like: We don't know who Congress will vote for.
Let the process play out.
Meanwhile, their supporters are out in the streets
causing shit to go down.
And based on how they've acted so far,
don't count on Republicans to put a stop to that.
It's more likely that they'll spend the next four years
saying: I know Joe Biden says he's president,
but there's still violence in the streets,
and we don't know who's going to win that.
So let the process play out.
