That may be hyperbolic but it would definitely be blood on the streets bad.

Better tell all those patriots over on Breitbart and OAN to be sure and plug in their mobility scooters before they leave the house.

I'd be more than shocked if they don't do one of two things

1. Deny Texas leave.

2. Grant leave and dismiss the case on merit. (Never hearing the case)

Since the motion has no merit, a favorable ruling would be purely political, which might anger a few people.

You really have to ask?

(The lawyers probably know better, but Trump voters? I'm not so sure of that.)

Certainly Texas.

"The brief also argues that executive officials shouldn't be able to mess with voting rules. But Texas -- the plaintiff in this case, the state they're supporting -- did that very thing. The governor used executive power to extend the early voting period, among other things. "

By the way, the Trump motion is hilarious. One excerpt: "For example, he [Trump] won both Florida and Ohio; no candidate in history—Republican or Democrat—has ever lost the election after winning both States. "

Holy ****** They put that in a court briefing?

The lawyer (easton) needs to be disbarred.

And so does the lawyer who actually wrote the document (not Easton)

These are likely the same people who thought that proving that President Obama wasn't really a citizen would reverse the 2008 election and make McCain President.

But does Sydney Powell actually think that? She's the one who brought it up

In a rational society, their legal careers, net worth, and public reputations would be vaporized. Unfortunately, this isn't a rational society. Sad.

Why would Trump sign on to this? He has enough flunkies already doing his dirty work. This is like climbing out of a lifeboat to board the Titanic as it's going down.

He must enjoy beat downs. I don't get it. :confused:

I think the technical term for it is,

"grasping at straws".
 
Another case thrown out in Arizona.

"Allegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court."

IOW, you're lawyers, act like it. Get that **** out of here.
 
So no evidence of fraud then....................despite saying "fraud" zillions of times.

It is not necessary for the Plaintiff in Intervention to prove that fraud occurred, however; it is only necessary to demonstrate that the elections in the defendant States materially deviated from the “manner” of choosing electors established by their respective state
Legislatures.

The "strategy" of this comical legal campaign appears to be relentlessly repeating the words "voter fraud" and refusing to check their own documents for spelling errors.

That is of course wrong. It really is impossible to ignore the Laches problem with these cases. Oh, you waited till Safe Harbor day to file your complaint?

GTFO.

IMO, Paxton's motion (or suit, whatever) is purely a political ploy looking for benefits for their party down the road- they know damn well the case has no legal merit, only a partisan one. It's blowing smoke, so, in 2024, whoever runs for the GOP in 2024 can portray Biden's win as tainted by all the suits brought against it- "there's no way there was so much smoke without some fire!" They're aiming for a quantity of allegations to obscure the lack of quality in any of them. And it will come in handy for all the Repubs running in places like Mississippi, Alabama, etc., between now and then- "I stood with Trump during the great steal of 2020!" The American electorate has an attention span and memory that's about five minutes long- most of the voters in places like that will just not remember that none of the cases brought ever got any more traction than what it took to just file them.
 
I’d think they would be saying “there’s no evidence of fraud, but like, what I’d there was fraud” in between bong hits but they’re Republicans so maybe they’re doing it in between flagellating themselves to keep their homosexuality repressed? Idk where I’m going with that.

It bothers me that this is all just consequence free though. It’s actually pretty serious and damaging

To me aligning with Trump now is pretty dangerous. I don’t know what skeletons are in his closet, but he’s been using the power of the presidency to hide them. Pretty soon he won’t
