The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to take up a bid by a group of Trump-allied lawyers who faced monetary and professional sanctions in Michigan as a result of their baseless claims raised in a lawsuit that the 2020 presidential election was rife with fraud.

Misleading title. The SC didn't leave anything in place, they just refused to take up the appeal. Big difference legally. One comes with a holding, clarification on law, potentially new legal standards/tests...etc. The other is equivalent of a null value.

I hear you. But I have to say, most titles are misleading, especially when dealing with SCOTUS and Biden right now. There are pubs that used to be good that are absolute trash now. Poltico and Aljazeera are at the bottom. Huffington has National Enquirer styled font, Newsweek is 50/50 on even being truthful. It's a weird time right now.

That's why I rely solely on post thumbnails now as the source of truth. :P

But real talk, you're not wrong. Most of the shit I run across is nothing but slams, clapbacks, and random Twitter screenshots for some reason.
