Sheesh
Good.
Pretty strong statement, with this as a capstone -

"Calling an election unfair does not make it so," the opinion read. "Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

ETA- Bibas is a Trump appointee. The other two judges on the panel are Bush picks.
“Sydney Powell released what appears to be a very rough draft of a lawsuit” is both petty and fantastic.
One of the other plaintiffs is a guy who lives in Alabama but presumably voted via mail ballot in Georgia. So I guess he's suing to invalidate his own vote.
Didn't most everyone here dismiss her from the start?I"m not speaking specifically on people here as there doesnt seem to be many in league with the idea of pushing this "election fraud" mantra as far as the administration has.....but if you peruse the bigger Right Wing websites; Powell was described as a relentless, no nonsense, unyielding lawyer. I'm assuming some of that had to do with her involvement in the Charga trial 40+ years ago....but she didn't really start to become a darling of the Right until her involvement in Flynn's case in 2019.
Who are these "people" who claimed she was the "Terminator"?
There were a few touting her reputation here as well. Those that would be inclined to believe there was fraud in the election.
I didn't see any of that. But I admittedly don't spend much time on bigger right wing websites.
It seems like even YOU have a hard time fitting into your own Political forum. And you're reasonable and level-headed.
Can't be a victory lap until the thing is over. I'm just saying she isn't nearly as impressive as the comments that I've heard about her made her out to be.
LOL. Just seemed odd to me.
That would be a good analogy if before that.....a few Jets fans tromped into the Pats forum, proclaimed Gase an offensive genius, claimed Gase and the Jets would single-handedly end the Pats dynasty.....during the 4th quarter of a Pats blowout Super Bowl victory.
I suppose there may have been people here proclaiming Powell to be the savior. I didn't see them.
I think she had an air of gravitas behind her prior to the past week or so. There were comments here indicating she was the one serious member of the legal team and she sure sounded confident. She is an actual litigator, unlike Rudy and Jenna Ellis. She is a former federal prosecutor, so presumably knows her way around the courtroom, and she represented Flynn. When she started talking about the Kracken and her "biblical lawsuit" in the past week, I think that took the shine off a bit because no serious lawyer would speak like that, but I was honestly wondering what she was planning and am strangely disappointed to see its nothing but more low-rent garbage. She's not been involved in any of these lawsuits yet, and I guess I thought maybe she would bring something different to the table.

This guy Bibas is a refreshingly good writer. His opinion is conversational and I think easily accessible to the reader, not hung up on legal writing formalities or even proper grammar in some places. https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Trump.pdf

They were few in number in this forum, but they were vociferous.
The certitude of the takes in the face of known (?) poor odds was much more impactful than the raw number of takes.Still seems odd to victory lap
Still just seems odd. Although I guess it's really not. I should have expected as much.
Do people around here know the difference between a recount and an audit?Milwaukee County has completed the recount which was requested and paid for by the Trump campaign. The updated tally shows a gain of 132 votes for Joe Biden, which I suppose Trump can now exploit as fuel for his narrative about elections being untrustworthy?
Do you have a link describing what an audit is (says the former auditor)?
Georgia performed an audit which the Trump campaign dismissed and requested a recount.
Well there you go.Georgia performed an audit which the Trump campaign dismissed and requested a recount.

Yup. We’ve all been waiting for a single piece of evidence of fraud. So far all we’ve had are one-off examples of Republicans trying to vote using someone else’s name.
Completely agree. All the people arguing there was rampant voter fraud should step up and throw in the towel. All of them. Every single one.
Yes, that seems to have been a good appointment -- it can go in the "stuff Trump can take credit for" thread.
It’s entirely possible I’m missing something with this but in their effort to be able to appoint their own electors (which at this point they legally can’t) they are looking to have the results of this election declared in dispute and to have the governor withdraw the certification (the certification which has already occurred). In doing so, that would also withdraw the certification of the legislatures election results as well meaning they technically wouldn’t have the power to put forth the resolution to begin with since they themselves then wouldn’t have been certified.
What about their credibility and role in politics in the future? Should these people who actively tried to undermine our elections be held accountable, and if so, how?
But he's spent two whole hours online working on it! I mean, that's almost as much time as I spend trying to decide what free agent to pick up for my pretend football team each week in a league with no prize money. (Of course, to be fair, that's probably more time than he's spent on any issue during his term in office.) And half of the leaders of the legislature favor it. Since there are two leaders (one in the House and one in the Senate), that means at least one of the two Republicans in charge agree with him. What more could we want?
Who? The statement I was agreeing to referred to people in this thread. I thought it was clear I was calling out the straw man.
Yes.
