I agree they won't hear her, but after that is done she will have adverse decisions from the fed district court, the 6th Circuit and the MI Supreme Court.
She's not rational, and the only legal path left open will be a petition for cert.
They’ll simply deny to hear it.
Until they find some penumbras.
Don’t forget the reports of Clinton shenanigans being discovered with recounted ballots in Clinton precincts in Detroit.
Democrat justices would want to shut that down rather than have obvious democrat voter fraud be revealed, and especially since it would help Trump’s numbers anyway.
Yep. The decisions adverse to her are sound, and there is no structural deficiency in MI law, nor is there evidence of widespread fraud that needs to be resolved in the MI contest.
Her recount effort died with the MI appeals court and 6th Circuit rulings.
All she'll get from here on out is "thanks for asking, but you've had your day in court, including substanive reviews on appeal. Application denied."
4 votes or a majority...which is where the 4 likely comes from.
Not good- one of the Repubs leans left more then right.
Recount uncovers serious fraud in Detroit (Undercover video at link)
Yes.
Went through this in a HUGE case. That’s exactly what happened. “Why are you here? The lower court has spoken.”
That’s what I thought.
Valid point.
The way I see it, they can count all the votes the like after the election to see if there was any fraud. They can prosecute later.
Its too late to ask Michigan taxpayers to pony up millions to satisfy the personal grudges of left wing loonies who have no verifiable evidence that a fraud occurred on such a massive scale as to give Jill stein that kind of standing.
Michigan elected Trump. They took a long time certifying that count in order to do an electronic recount. In all that effort there has been no screaming about funny business from Michigan.
I honestly don't think the Democrats want them to recount Detroit.
The federal district court made a call and the 6th circuit court of appeals upheld that call until Michigan's courts decided. Then the call in the lower federal court was dissolved. That means right now there is no federal court involvement.
In order to go to SCOTUS the whole process would have to be repeated with a new complaint filed at federal district court, then appealed to the 6th circuit then appealed to the SCOTUS. That will not happen by the 13th.
Her biggest problem is money...she is broke...her fundraising is stuck on $7.3 million and she already spent more that that.

But if you follow the link on the same linked page, the Ingraham County Clerk explains the reasons why a precinct might be non-recountable (i.e. tampering or potential tampering). And if this is the determination, then the election night count results stand.
Some day historians will see that as evidence of Clinton vote tampering, I hope.
If they need 4 votes, the recusals don’t seem to mean much. If they get 4 votes from the remaining judges, they would have had a majority even with the two who recused themselves voting. The recusals just remove two more chances to get to 4. If they jack st need a majority of the 5 voting, of course, things are different.
