I guess you were unaware or forgot that in the Georgia ballot challenge trial where Obama’s attorney, Michael Jablonski refused to participate, Judge Michael Mahili was ready to issue a default judgement as a penalty but the plaintiffs’ attorneys begged the judge to not issue a default judgement and to conduct a trial on the merits. Judge Mahili acceded to the plaintiffs’ wishes and the plaintiffs’ lost on the merits.
I *Knew* the courts were going to worship the "Wong" precedent, and reasoning with them was going to be a waste of time.
I advocated following the same strategy as the NRA. Plant small seeds, look for favorable jurisdictions, file plausible pleas (such as a signed statement by Nancy Pelosi is inadequate proof.) and work to change the courts and the narrative.
The Courts have long been a pursuit of politics by other means. It is a fiction that they are concerned with the law above all else. Most of them are just petty dictators applying their own subjective whims.
