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.

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?

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.

Jillian Stein is a moron!
According to Stein, the United States should use force only when there is “good evidence that we are under imminent threat of actual attack”. When asked by the Los Angeles Times editorial board whether that standard would have prevented US involvement in World War II, Stein answered, “I don’t want to revisit history or try to reinterpret it, you know, but starting from where we are now, given the experience that we’ve had in the last, you know, since 2001, which has been an utter disaster, I don’t think it’s benefited us.” Asked whether such a standard would force the US to withdraw from all of its mutual defense treaties, Stein answered that the treaties need to “be looked at one by one”, mentioning NATO in particular.

Link to some of Judge Diamond’s ratings...of note are the low ratings from criminal defense attorney’s and private civil litigants. As a former federal criminal investigator, I see that is a good thing.

One comment that is noteworthy and indicative of the Judge’s approach (a good sign):

“I think the majority of comments must be from disgruntled litigants. A no-nonsense judge, he manages his cases and moves his docket along with a firm hand. But I have found him smart, fair, and prompt in his decisions, which are well-reasoned. That’s not to say I have always agreed with his rulings. That is why we have appellate courts.”
