Libs sure do know how to crucify themselves. They’re going to be brain numb for the next year.
“and PA awaits judicial review”
PA decision by judge to be made on Monday, one day before the Federal certification deadline. I kinda doubt this judge is going to order the State of Pennsylvania to commence a recount that’s in contradiction of State law one day before the election cert date on the basis that election fraud allegations of maybe, possibly, could be, even though there is no evidence whatsoever are as likely as “androids from outer space living among us” according to Pennsylvania Secretary of State’s office.
Truly.
Stein is not a possible MI POTUS winner. Judges are not supposed to be identified with a nonConstitutional outlined party. There is no reason for them to recuse.
The conflict of interest is from a Federal interference with the State's right to determine its own elector process.
S0r0$ and his puppet Stein are to be shown no mercy when it comes to the State of Michigan's representation on the Federal Level.
“but still she plans a rally to protest the courts decision today.”
yeah, i’m sure that will cause the courts to reconsider their decisions. Still, when all else fails, the alt-left will take to the streets to engage in public tantrums - wailing, and crying, and kicking, and screaming until they get all tired out and go back to mommy’s and daddy’s basement to get stoned on reefer and take a nap.
were involved in previous cases on a partisan basis. The MISC judges were not so "compromised" on this issue to be brought before them. No conflict of interest.
That is why the left exercises a large measure of control over our civilization; i.e. they never surrender defeat them and they come back with a new method of attack.
Nor will I. Six weeks to go. :(
Judge Goldsmith (who forced the early start of the recount) said the state could take the actual costs out of her fee. Yet the administrator of elections, Johnson, says they’ll return some of the fee.
Doesn’t make any sense, he’s required to protect the state’s interests.
They can, but not in this matter. They can only really hear an appeal of a state court when the state court has either a) Ruled on Federal law (which state courts can do) or b) Ruled on a matter in which state law or state case law is problematic to the US Constitution (usually, but not always 14th Amendment questions.)
There is a long-standing and very widely defended culture of case law that says that states are entirely in control of their own elections -- even Presidential ones -- and the US Constitution only permits Congress to alter their regulations concerning the time, manner, and place. Hamilton's dicta in The Federalist argues that Congressional alteration of state election laws was only intended as a way to make sure that states would actually hold Federal elections, not to insert the Federal government into state authority. The courts have generally honored that argument.
That is why the District and later Sixth Circuit US courts never ruled on the actual merits of the case: it was not their role to do so.
Send Hillary to JAIL.
6th Circuit is 2 -1 Republican appointees & the DC judge had to rule against Stein, even though he was an Obola appointee. Says she’s DEAD.
Hey, snowflakes, SUCK IT UP, he’s PRESIDENT Trump!!!
WONDER, JOY & GLORY!!!
Originally, she had "merely" to establish a prima facie case that there was fraud, tampering or incompetence so widespread as to call the result of the election into doubt.
That argument could be made on the basis of a public good, in which she was just one interested party. Now, in order to get an injunction in Federal Court she must show that she personally faces irreparable harm if the election contest does not go forward.
Stein/Clinton/Soros painted themselves into this corner when they withdrew their petition at the state level.
If that weren't bad enough, in his questioning earlier today the US District Judge raised the issue that there was a serious danger of disenfranchising all of PA voters if he grants the injunction, and scolded Stein's lawyers implicitly by asking them why they waited until last Monday to bring the case to Federal Court.
Ouch.
Looks over to me, even without a ruling.
Perhaps to recuse or not to recuse may be a point of view for people to argue the finer perspectives of merit, however if these judges did not remove themselves then it is arguable that there has been a conflict of interest in the first place if they are still being considered for the USSC.
That said, had they stayed in the decision that would benefit Trump it will argued by dems in senate confirmation hearings (should either one make it this far) that they are partial, this has now been removed.
It was the right thing to do.
That opinion is from the Court of Appeals, not the Michigan Supreme Court.
Placating ‘Rats is never the right thing to do.
So her hopes rest on finding massive Republican voter fraud in America Samoa?
“Stein/Clinton/Soros painted themselves into this corner when they withdrew their petition at the state level.”
that’s what i thought too, but not being a lawyer, I thought perhaps the Fed court would would reject their claim because they had yet to fully avail themselves of remedy in the State courts.
After all, how does the Fed court know that Stein wouldn’t have obtained what she sought if she had simply followed the requirement of Pennsylvania law that a recount was possible by seeking a Pennsylvania court order after all other deadlines had past? Seems like the Fed court would be forced to rule on a hypothetical situation that didn’t actually occur.
