"...after the Supreme Court declined to hear him, Mr. Berg (apparently) found another plaintiff..."

The injustice was that SCOTUS declined the case. Lower courts aren't going to rock the boat that the SCOTUS refuses to rock.

Sad that SCOTUS has become so ideological, so political...that it will choose to ignore one party's qualifications to be properly examined.

That being said...the handwriting is on the wall. Lower courts are going to be irritated that the injustice is brought up *again* to them when the issue has been settled by SCOTUS.

Not likely. SCOTUS granted Joyce leave to file Amicus on behalf of AZ Elector Bill Anderson. Any interpretation the matter is settled by SCOTUS is sadly mistaken.

Even more ironic is that Judge Robertson was disrepectful to Joyce AFTER Joyce was granted leave to file the Amicus Curiae with SCOTUS.

Injustice or not, the Supreme Court did decline to hear the case and it had been dismissed by the lower courts. From a judicial standpoint the matter was dead. Refiling the same case under a different cast of characters is the definition of a frivilous lawsuit. Hemenway got off lucky; the judge could have ordered him to pay the defendant's costs.
