A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump rejected what he called a “creative” lawsuit on Thursday. It was a suit that Georgia’s assistant attorney general warned would cause the Peach State’s largest disenfranchisement since the Jim Crow era.
“To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour would breed confusion and disenfranchisement that I find have no basis in fact and law,” U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg declared at the end of a roughly two-and-a-half hour hearing.
The celebrity attorney making the breathtaking request was L. Lin Wood, Jr., who also represented former U.S. Congressman Gary Condit and the alleged victim in the Kobe Bryant case. Wood has also represented Nicholas Sandmann and JonBenét Ramsey’s family. Wood currently represents Kyle Rittenhouse and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
While Wood sued in his capacity as an average Georgia voter, the judge made clear that this did not give the lawyer a basis to sue.
“There is no doubt that the right to vote, even an individual’s right to vote is sacrosanct,” Judge Grimberg added, adding that this “doesn’t mean that individual voters have the right to dictate” the manner in which that vote is counted.

“Lacked standing”? Where have I heard that dodge before?
But, but, but the GOP Senate confirmed Trump judges are going to save us. Where have I heard that excuse for the do-nothing GOP Senate before?
By the way, this was the TRO.
Wood’s lawsuit filed 11/13 has not been heard yet
I knew all the judges Trump appointed and the Turtle got through would turn.
No worries. We just need to elect the GOPe candidates in the GA Senate runoffs and all will be well. /s
This seemed like an odd legal move to make and I wonder if it was one of those moves that if successful, great, but likely much pointed and stronger action is taking place soon.
Really? One judge in GA has suddenly become "all" Trump-appointed judges? Interesting.

It was a Trump judge that gave Trannies protections under the Civil Rights act of 1964. It was a Trump judge who allowed dirtbag Jim Acosta back into the WH. Etc. Counting chickens on these judges was always a fools errand. GOP judges are just not ideologically reliable.
With all respect, this is wishful thinking. No one is going to be overturning state certifications. There is no magic, it's over. Give money to the Senate campaign in Georgia, stop wasting time on the last, lost, battle.
Yes, but without a TRO Georgia will certify the election results, and Wood's suit then becomes moot.
I'll certainly grant you that some are unreliable. But not all of them.
Wish the entire matter could be fast-tracked to a resolution. Being on pins and needles isn't doing the spirits of any of us any good.
It was a TRO to delay the certification:
There is a wealth of evidence in the exhibits, worth a read.

Wood also has a lawsuit filed 11/13, this is the one that shows that the SOS acted illegally by making a lawsuit settlement deal with democrats in March which changed our election laws without going through GA legislature.

FYI - Wood is not on the team of Trump’s lawyers, and he is doing this on his own dime.

Why would you give money to the already amnesty pushing GOPe? Is a 10 million illegals GOP authored amnesty really any worse in the long run than a 20 million Democrat amnesty? I think not.
So 11 is the new 12, as just a piece of the judge’s creative writing.
The outcome for trump is pretty slim to none but regardless Trump has affectively labeled Jomentia an illegitimate president and has rallied his base. No matter how much lipstick the rats try to put on this Evil pig and his whore it ain’t gonna fly with 73 million folk!! CHEATING JO IS NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!
saw an article here 1-2 days ago that said he doesn’t
Trump appointed judge? So much for constitutional follow the law of justice with evidence crap from these buttholes!! Ugh!
Just watch
“To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour..”
Since when did a clock render truth, law, and justice, null and void? I’d like to hear the judge’s explanation.
There is a wealth of evidence in the exhibits, worth a read.
The Dems definitely stole Georgia but the damning evidence so far is circumstantial. We need better than that and we aren’t going to get it because the smoking gun evidence has been destroyed and the DOJ is not interested in using police powers to dig for more.
POTUS is a fighter, though. I appreciate his carrying the ball here while the GOP once again go AWOL. Whatever he wants to do from now I will support him.
He filed the suit yesterday, if it was the 11th hour, that is on the judge.
Is that what you're saying, judge? 'Cause that's what I heard.
