From Wiki: On July 24, 2008, President Bush formally nominated Diamond to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in conjunction with Pratter's withdrawal. Since Diamond was nominated after July 1, 2008, the unofficial start date of the Thurmond Rule during a presidential election year, no hearings were scheduled on his nomination, and the nomination was returned to Bush at the end of his term.

IOW, Diamond received no hearing in the same way that Garland received no hearing....because such appointments are held for the next president to decide.

I don't know the law in question, but in my mind, there are 2 issues.

1. Stein is not aggrieved in any way that I can see, and especially since she herself has admitted there is no evidence of fraud.

2. Stein is clearly attempting to avoid state law and not go through the PA process that is reasonable in terms of payment of recount costs.

Inappropriate forum for this question.

Pennsylvania Legislature’s authority over appointment of electors is plenary and not subject to Federal courts.

These hearings should be ignored, as should any orders issuing from any Article III court pertaining to the appointment of electors.

The Democrat Party better derail this Lunatic, Jillian Stein & their own Hillary Clinton or, soon the will be no Democrat Party, vote cheaters they all are!!! Does any personthat is a democrat care about the welfare and good of the country...I doubt it. The good news is, The american people and voters are getting a close up picture of the human scum & vermin that make-up the Democrat Party!!!

Funny......Obama came into the POTUS slot riding a golden chariot of fame and glory ...to destroy the American Republic. and...all he did was to destroy himself and the Democrat Party. Ya know, folks, Obama could stop this Stein/Clinton lunacy, immediately, but all Obama does is hide in the corner...hoping he might have a leagacy with positive feed. Will never happen!!! He is done....worst POTUS, ever for all Americans!!! Me...I’d hate to be a Democrat running for office in 2018!!!

Along with a recount Stein wanted to bar one party from observing the recount? Incredible.

But a federal issue can be raised if their is some evidence that people were denied the right to vote. That is certainly a federal issue. In this case, however, I certainly doubt that there is any such evidence.

DEMOCRATS keep doubling down on IGNORANT. - I guess when
your enemy is shooting himself in the foot over and over,
nothing you can do but just keep out of the way and watch
from a distance.

What does this have to do with being denied a right to vote? This is a recount effort

Articl2, section 1 of the US Constitution:

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.

Why are Federal Judges involved?

‘or, soon the will be no Democrat Party’

That’s all the more reason to just let Stein & Hitlery play this out which is to bring an end to the rat party.

"2. Stein is clearly attempting to avoid state law and not go through the PA process that is reasonable in terms of payment of recount costs."

Stein missed the deadline for demanding a recount and is now asking the Federal Court to bail her out and order a recount anyway. She still hasn't produced a shred of evidence a recount is needed or merited.

Doesn’t matter. They’ll shop around for a judge that they know will rule in their favor.

We really have become a lawless society with overly political judges.
