The Supreme Court this week rejected a Republican bid to undo the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania. No one on the Court dissented — and “no one” includes the newest associate justice, Amy Coney Barrett.

This is somewhat confusing when we consider that one of the central accusations leveled against Barrett by Democrats and liberal pundits was that she would — when not banishing cancer-stricken minority children from hospitals — steal the election for Donald Trump (whose tweets certainly did not help matters).
