In a one-line response with no reported dissenting votes, the Supreme Court denied a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to block certification of the state's electoral votes.
And...
The House passes the annual defense bill without the changes Trump demanded, with a lopsided majority that makes it veto-proof.
The Supreme Court's response is being reported as pretty much the death knell for Trump's attempt to stage an autocoup, along with the safe haven deadline today, but apparently there are plans to basically try to fight things all the way through to the official report of the vote on the Senate floor in early January.
At this point we've entered last-ditch Hail Mary pass territory, and barring the latest SC hearing sponsored by Texas going through, and that's all she wrote at this point from where I'm sitting.
Whatever happens, so be it, I just want this to be over.
