WASHINGTON – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has asked the Supreme Court to take him off Michigan’s presidential ballot despite lower courts’ rulings that it’s too late to make changes before the Nov. 5 election.

Kennedy’s emergency request was filed two days after he made a similar appeal to get off the ballot in Wisconsin, one of the six other swing states expected to decide the presidential race.

The Supreme Court has asked election officials in both Michigan and Wisconsin to respond by Monday afternoon.Kennedy ended his presidential campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee.

Since then, he’s sought to get his name off the ballot in competitive states to avoid taking votes away from Trump even as he unsuccessfully asked the Supreme Court to put him on the ballot in New York.

1. Good luck with that, Bob. I've already voted.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Nothing new

Just another member of the "Psychos are us" club............

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. I voted too, but, to RFK's great relief, I didn't vote for him.

He should be a hoot at the Kennedy family's Thanksgiving dinner table.

2. He's always seeking two things: the limelight and another married woman

[RainCaster]

10. and a dead animal to put in his trunk

[not fooled]

11. Hahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks for the Saturday morning chuckle. Funny because so true.

[moonscape]

3. After his much-publicized Menace endorsement,

I’ve not heard of him on the campaign trail at all. Has he been and I delightfully missed it?

[GreenWave]

4. Deer* RFK Jr.

Can you please eat the Supreme Court?

* Misspelled to capture his attention.

[twodogsbarking]

5. RFK Jr. asks Supreme Court to get him off.

That is, well, disgusting.

[ToxMarz]

6. I would bet he doesn't really care (probably loves his name on ballots)

but his Uber lord is freaking out about anything and everything right now and issuing orders for everyone to run around with hair on fire missions.

[mdbl]

7. I hope this means he thinks his votes will take away from Rump's

wishful thinking.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. That's why he's trying to get off the WI and MI ballots

but get back on the NY one (where it doesn't matter).

8. Maybe another reason for them for lawsuits AFTER the election??

Good luck with that ASSHOLES!

[DownriverDem]

12. Way too late

Absentee/mail in/drop off has been going on. Early voting starts today. Michigan can't take his name off.

[Botany]

13. Why do I smell the Trump Campaign all over this?

Trump after he loses will contest the election’s results because he was hurt by
RFK Jr. being on the ballot. Hell, Trump might have put up the money to get
RFK Jr. on the ballot.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Oh that was all established

"Bobby" is officially part of the MAGat brigade now along with Tulsi - https://apnews.com/article/rfk-jr-trump-speech-arizona-a2638f89ddcb5de03edbe4574ca17d45

[Botany]

16. Trump getting "help" from Tulsi makes me happy

She is a human train wreck.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. She did his debate prep

"playing Harris"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/17/tulsi-gabbard-trump-kamala-harris-debate

[Botany]

18. And Trump's other help in prepping was Matt Gaetz

But Harris had studs …. Haven’t heard of them but they look impressive

19. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

[Dem4life1234]

30. Another woman who would throw women underneath the bus

She's always been a fraud

[Gaytano70]

20. What a stupid fucko.

Shitler has the best people, doesn't he? 🙄

[live love laugh]

21. Funny how quickly SCOTUS is responding to this nonsense but delayed Trump's decision.

[twodogsbarking]

23. Oh come on, let's roll the dice and see if he gets any votes.

Save the whales.

[4lbs]

24. He fought hard to get on the ballot, then now AFTER they've been printed, he wants off.

Sorry twit, doesn't work like that.

[barbtries]

25. the election has started.

if they even listen to this case, i can't imagine why they would actually.

[Freethinker65]

26. Not gonna happen. States have rules and deadlines for being placed on, and taken off of, the ballot.

RFK would be tossed aside by Trump (should Trump somehow win, and that is a scarier thought than RFK having any batshit crazy conspiratorial nonsense say about science or medicine) like he did to Romney who was interested in the Secretary of State appointment.

[Diraven]

27. What they really want

Is for the SC to declare the Michigan vote invalid and so just award it to Trump. And if it ends up being the difference in Trump getting elected or not, the SC would totally find a way to justify that.

[Smackdown2019]

28. Lmao

1. Printing is not a magic wand.
2. Proofreading the new ballot is a must.
3. T - minus 8 days to voting.
4. The bear cells must be leaking into reason for Kennedy.

[VMA131Marine]

29. Trump is going to use this to try to invalidate the election

In those states where RFK jr wanted to be removed from the ballot. It’s obviously far too late for states to take him off now but Trump will argue it tainted the election if he loses.

[Dem4life1234]

31. How did it go up to the SC that quick?

He's such a POS with his fried brain.

Tarnished the Kennedy legacy.
