WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 26: U.S. President Donald Trump .announces 7th U.S. Circuit Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett as his nominee to the Supreme Court in the Rose Garden at the White House September 26, 2020 in Washington, DC. With 38 days until the election, Trump tapped Barrett to be his third Supreme Court nominee in just four years and to replace the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday.

Remember how Donald Trump specifically picked Amy Coney Barrett to make sure he had a friend on the Supreme Court to make sure he “won” the election? So much for that. With absolutely zero dissents, the court said, basically: “Nope, we’re not going to nullify the vote in Pennsylvania for you.”

Officially, the court said, “The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied,” but same diff. Either way, Trump is still a big ol’ loser. To put the cherry and the icing on top: This was his 50th loss in court.
