I would like very much to see Kari win this lawsuit, but .....
Courts and their behavior are so disturbing.
The idiot lawyer described in this thread may be so confident, he thinks he can say whatever and there is no consequence.
In other words, in his mind his side has won and it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.
The disturbing reality is his side may win even as their arguments are dismal and perfunctory, while insulting to viewers, citizens, and voters.
I peeked in on the case yesterday and today.
The judge is stressed about how his ruling will be seen by the certain appeal.
What disturbs me and others about the Judge’s dilemma is he can rule Hobbs wins because it’s because it’s because and more because, of this and that and blah blah bullsh*t, and chances are, as long as no procedural errors or issues are unaddressed, then appeals will rubber stamp “yep.”
On the other hand, if the judge rules in Kari’s favor, the appeal may rip the judge a new one.
So it’s easy for the judge to fold in with the judiciary status quo, then go on extended vacation or leave to spend more time with family etc.
But there is one factor I hope grabs the judge by the nads and drives a ruling for a do-over. There is precedent from 1916 IN ARIZONA; I copied the old 1916 news article on a thread earlier today.
I can sense the public and leaders are done with the corruption of Maricopa, and by the Judge’s closing comments, he knows the public is out for blood. But that’s all just pissy temporary pissiness. Americans will walk around and rant, then will come the Superbowl or a nuke strike in Ukraine, etc Attention spans are short.
Pray pray I’m wrong, very wrong.
There’s also a case from Louisiana back in the 70s where some guy won a Senate or congressional race. It was taken to court paving the was for Henson Moore to get elected in a do-over.
