Trump complains Supreme Court displayed 'no wisdom, no courage' in rejecting Texas lawsuit
President Trump is not happy with the Supreme Court after it tossed a Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's wins in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Late Friday night, a few hours after the decision, Trump tweeted that the court "really let us down" and didn't show "wisdom" or "courage."
The Supreme Court really let us down. No Wisdom, No Courage!

He went on to complain specifically about the speed with which the justices dismissed the lawsuit.
....that, after careful study and consideration, think you got “screwed”, something which will hurt them also. Many others likewise join the suit but, within a flash, it is thrown out and gone, without even looking at the many reasons it was brought. A Rigged Election, fight on!

Trump, who appointed three of the nine sitting members of the court, didn't single anyone out by name, but his disappointment was palpable.
