I will risk being called an utter fool but I speculate — if you really want to argue your case before the Supreme Court, isn’t it somewhat useful to lose in the lower courts, so that you can appeal your way up?
No you are right on!
I believe the author is from Minnesota.
Yes, it’s a big F’up.
As a side note:
As a client you should always review everything in the document and verify it is right before signing it. Paralegals copy and paste from other cases and stray stuff may show up on your case filings. It shouldn’t..but it does.
Yes, it is useful... but in any case someone should let them know the error in the Counties listed in the suit, in case they don’t want to lose it that way.
Shoot a message to Rudy— “hey, you know the counties are wrong— not a one in Michigan?”.
This type of loss isn’t what gets it kicked up the chain.
They can fix this..but it makes them look like dumb
So far... a fuster-cluck.
Worse than expected. Paragraph 10 has “Antium” instead of correctly: Antrim County, Michigan.
Ugh. If true, that’s pathetic.
Trump’s lawyers have played the PR game. Hopefully that doesn’t take precedent over the legal issues.
I’ve wondered how they can manage the legal effort while spending all the camera time.
Don’t take me wrong - I’m rooting for them!
This was pointed out last night by Freeper MKNIT20, and he had already emailed the firm/person that did the afidavit.
I want to know why Barr paid McConnell a visit last week. McConnell then went the the senate floor and said the NSA saw no foreign election interference. Why qualify foreign interference? Something odd about that.
They outlined a great case today to win based on evidence in hand.
Other bigger plays like the Dominion hacking are being developed.
SCOTUS has easy calls doe Trump in PA and GA.
The better question is why do we no longer have a free press in the United States and what can be done to create more Newsmax platforms or to buy a network?
Should international companies be able to own media that amounts to foreign interference in our elections?
Should big tech be able to censor Americans and not be deemed publishers?
But yeah. Let’s get the SCOTUS win and move on.
My hope is Justice Thomas writes it. Ultimate payback.
oh please! No it is not a strategy to screw up so that you lose.
How about winning, not losing, in lower court. You’ve won. Losing side can appeal if it wants to but you are going into the appeal as a winner, not a loser. Appeal Courts rarely hear evidence, their job is to evaluate whether lower court erred in some fashion. To say you want to lose is just plain dumb.
Jones Day and Porter Wright, the two big law firms that quit, had all the worker bee lawyers who would be double-checking this stuff. Now we have a small handful of lawyers trying to manage 20+ cases with tight deadlines. This kind of thing is bound to happen.
“I want to know why Barr paid McConnell a visit last week.”
I want to know why Gina Haspel paid McConnell a visit last week.
Some people wonder if their actual plan is to get GOP legislatures to act.
That too.
You are not supposed to post such opinions here. Only sunshine, rainbows and Kraken.
Contrast this spectacle with GW Bush’s army of lawyers in Florida, led by Ted Olsen. 2020 is a clown show. The idea that the 2 Wayne County canvassing board Republicans were left alone, with only the Dem lawyer advising them they had to vote to cert? Unthinkable. Listing incorrect counties in a court filing? No lawyers on the ground at recounts, already holding court orders? Team Trump lawyers are being swatted away like flies, even by Trump appointed Judges.
