Two SCMI Justices are wimps and should no longer be considered for appointment to SCOTUS.
Interesting. Two Libtards are delusional. They are incompetent jurists and need to resign.
Thanks for the link. Short - and sweet.
An appeal from the Michigan Supreme Court would have to be to SCOTUS, which would decide whether to hear it.

“A litigant who loses in a federal court of appeals, or in the highest court of a state, may file a petition for a “writ of certiorari,” which is a document asking the Supreme Court to review the case. The Supreme Court, however, does not have to grant review. The Court typically will agree to hear a case only when it involves an unusually important legal principle, or when two or more federal appellate courts have interpreted a law differently. There are also a small number of special circumstances in which the Supreme Court is required by law to hear an appeal.
The Court will Hear Cases to Resolve a Conflict of Law
The Court will Hear Cases that are Important: Sometimes the Court will consider a highly unusual case such as U.S. v Nixon (concerning the Watergate tapes) or Bush v. Gore (concerning the extremely close election in 2000
The Court will Sometimes Hear Cases that Speak to the Justices’ Interests:
The Court hears Cases when Lower Courts Disregard past Supreme Court decisions
Of the four issues above, the only one that matches up is the election case point. But, because she cannot actually win, they will toss it back. If Hilary had filed, they might have looked at it. But Stein can not possibly win and due to precidence along with not trying to look stupid, they will toss it.

I wouldn't say that. The decision didn't need their input overall, and they'll look a lot better as future candidates for the USSC if they didn't show what the left would consider partisanship in this important case. (it shouldn't be an important case, but it is).
I hope Stein is back in four years with a much stronger showing at the polls. I just wish she’d go away until then.
how many disloyal Electors? Maybe 5?
What are the odds that Trump falls below 300 in the final vote counted in JAN?
The 13th of DEC is very near ...
Yes. Till he is sworn in this is never over and we need to stay on it
I don’t know if she can successfully. She has set Michigan back twelve million dollars. For Nothing.
She’s once, twice, three times a loser.
I don’t think she gets a refund. Michigan lost $12million.
and, Jill, take Hillary with you ....
Make it a double.
Failed?
Jill Stein can tell you about the 7 million ways it succeeded.
“President-Elect Trump”
“The most salient words in the decision.”
Oh, I loved the way they didn’t shy away from that title. Just beautiful. I want to keep hearing it over and over and over again till January 20, 2017!! Especially from the mouths of #NeverTrumpers and Progressives.
” “This is now going to affect every other recount going forward.””
yeah, Brewer, your string of losses has established a string of great precedents against frivolous recounts being staged for no other reason than as publicity stunts.
You’ve inadvertently done good work here after all, and the millions ostensibly donated by hundreds of thousands of snowflakes has turned out to have been donated for a worthy cause.
Jill, send your lawyers to the ICC. I’m sure you’ll have a shot there!
“Stein’s next step might be to the Federal 6 Circuit. “
yeah, but they would have to start from scratch on a brand new claim, and it would have to be something along the lines that the whole MI state recount law is unconstitutional.
Stein has run out of time in Michigan given that the 13th is the final cert date (which Michigan has actually already done anyway), so it’s VERY unlikely Stein will attempt to initiate a complex (and lengthy - like years) Federal lawsuit in the 6th alleging that Michigan’s election law is unconstitutional.
