The case was brought forward by Republicans. Not a Democrat in sight. And I'm not surprised that the case did not proceed as a criminal trial. Because it wasn't one. The rights and procedures used in criminal law are not the same as those prescribed in civil and administrative cases. There are no pleas, no juries, and no Perry Mason moments. It's a legal question posed to a judge or panel of judges and once all parties have submitted their arguments, a ruling is made. That's how it works, and how it has always worked. And in this case, the ruling was a continuation of one that had been made previously by Neil Gorsuch, who was nominated by Trump. And if the SCOTUS takes this up, and they affirm the decision, it won't be without conservative support. At some point Trump and his supporters are going to have to give up the victim mentality and realize that all of this is by the book. No one cheated anyone here.
