Time for a list of all the law firms and the lawyers who trying to mess with the election in bad faith
“One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption,” Brann writes. But “that has not happened. Instead, this Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence.”
It’s a shame that Giuliani’s head leakage conference will be the bigger headline. This is what people should take away.
This lawsuit is incredible.
Two Pennsylvania voters had their mail-in ballots rejected. The counties in which they voted failed to notify them that they could “cure” their ballots. So who do they sue? The SOS and a bunch of counties NOT INCLUDING the counties that rejected their ballots.
And what do the plaintiffs seek? Surely its for their votes to be counted, right? NOPE. They are suing to invalidate 6 million other votes.
Everything about this lawsuit is rotten and contemptible. It perfectly embodies Trump and his presidency.
So he is saying Trump’s lawyers are imbeciles?
Anyone else tired of the only consequences to this sort of behavior is being “torn into”? Like ok great, thanks social media for all the memes and the headlines dunking on this criminally incompetent bunch of crypto fascists. But I’m pretty tired of them getting snarky comeuppance and…nothing else.
Enough of the poorly executed coup attempt
Meanwhile conservatives are complaining that liberals don’t wanna work together and Biden doesn’t wanna unite the country.
What if this had been a Trump-appointed judge? Wonder why McConnell is putting so many unqualified judges on the bench?
You have Leaky Rudy and Trump Blew Over the Hooker’s Chest running their “Let’s try and avoid prison” game.
Did he also recommend an oil change for rudy’s thinking bearings?
> Thus, despite the harsh rhetoric in his opinion, Brann was extraordinarily generous to the Trump campaign and its lawyers. **Rather than simply taking the incompetent arguments that were presented to him and rejecting them out of hand, the judge took the time to construct a coherent version of Trump’s arguments — and then he rejected that better version.**
Oof.
It’s worth noting that, while Brann was appointed to the federal bench by Democratic President Barack Obama, the judge held multiple leadership positions within the Republican Party
Has Trump or even Cheney administration ever appointed Democrat federal judge?
I don’t think so. This is why Republican could pack the SOCTUS which is now crooked.
Trump and his cronies know no shame and have no honor.
The Judge should have ordered Guiliani to attend a very long refresher course in how to practice law before he can appear in court again.
> “President Trump has exhausted all *plausible* legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania.”
Time for the implausible ones now.
Break out the bingo cards boys. It’s drinking time!
Isn’t there a penalty for filing frivolous lawsuits?
that’s why court packing the whole country with Qanon trash has been the top priority since day one
Country before party, as it should be.
That opinion was a beautiful thing. The lawsuit was eviscerated on so many levels.
Have a read, it’s 10 minutes well spent.
This isn’t about winning, it’s essentially a magic trick. We pay attention to the legal stuff while Trump destroys evidence, raises money, and poisons the well that is legitimate voting. He benefits the whole time and then has the political capital to pressure key officials in the state to prevent the election from being certified. By continuing to have cases, they can continue to claim there’s a legitimate argument by citing outstanding court cases, which fuels the conspiracy theories and helps them spread. The court cases at this point are a distraction from his actual plan of action. It is probably dumb and half cooked, but it’ll shake us all even more before it’s over. He seems to legitimately be angling for a civil war at this point.
Republican Judge Matthew Brann didn’t just reject the Trump campaign’s legal arguments, he mocked the campaign for its inability to present a coherent argument — or to provide any legal support whatsoever for crucial elements on their claims.
Referring to the Trump campaign’s primary legal argument, Brann writes that…
>”this claim, like Frankenstein’s Monster, has been haphazardly stitched together”
I think you mean a liberal shadow government judge. /s
I’m really not surprised that Rudy doesn’t know the meaning of strict scrutiny when he doesn’t even know what opacity means.
Democracy dyes in darkness
Even if Trump’s team was able to convince judges that “mail-in voting is bad,” wouldn’t ex-post-facto mean it can’t do anything to this year’s election?
At this point it looks like Giuliani is a washed up conman who is selling Trump a promise he has no ability to deliver. Financially those around Trump should be asking who is really going to benefit financially in the short term.
