JUST IN: Third Circuit Court of Appeals Grants Expedited Review For Team Trump’s Appeal in Pennsylvania
GP ^ | November 23, 2020 | Cristina Laila

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday granted an expedited review for Team Trump’s appeal in Pennsylvania.

The Trump team’s legal brief must be filed on or before 4:00 PM today.

US District Judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania Matthew Brann on Saturday dismissed a Trump campaign lawsuit seeking to block Pennsylvania from certifying its election results.

Judge Brann, an Obama appointee torched Trump’s legal team and accused them of asking the Court to “disenfranchise almost 7 million voters.”

The Trump campaign argued the equal protection clause, however the Obama judge shot back and said, “That some counties may have chosen to implement the guidance (or not), or to implement it differently, does not constitute an equal protection violation.”

The logic there would be if you make the cheat big enough, it can’t be remedied.

Ya, lets build it up. Just think how demoralized we'll all be when they uphold the lower court ruling. This is a roller coaster with the track missing at the end.

I don’t think 3rd circuit will. They have a lot of good judges in this Federal court. However, ultimately will end up at the Supreme Court.

I choose hope also. There will be enough time to feel depressed and demoralized if we lose.

Trump is a great American, but he is only one American. Wish I could do more, but it is unclear what I could be doing. I sent money to Trump, but the rnc is the account holder.

People like you don’t understand the feelings of those of us who are witnessing our country being stolen before our eyes. You can just keep your opinions to yourself while this plays out. We don’t need anyone adding to more pessimism. If we lose, you can come and gloat all you want.

It has been over for Trump for 5 years now and most of these guys bailed every time.

RNC siphoned off about 25% of money donated to trump I believe.

If Trump does not prevail in his legal challenges the GOP/RNC will never let him run for president again. the powers that control the Republican Party do not like Trump and will see to it that he never returns.

The only way Trump could run again would be under a new party banner IMO.

They’ll spend it on GA runoffs. Ronna McRomney has been pathetically AWOL in this battle.

I’m glad it does because that might be our only chance. The GOP certainly isn’t.

If trump establishes a new party the base will quickly desert the GOP, leaving it an inconsequential, empty shell of a party in short order. A well deserved fate for a fake party.

“If trump establishes a new party the base will quickly desert the GOP”

We will need to identify and kick out any TINO’s.
